Rotoflex adds Security Series

Options available with the Security Series include very high resolution inspection, variable data inspection, braille inspection and barcode reading. Missing labels, remaining matrix, splices, flags, spots, fading and missing color, text defects and registration can all be detected by the Security Series. In single-pass inspection mode, any repaired or replaced label will automatically be re-inspected before final slitting and finishing to ensure full compliance. A full log reporting package is available for regulatory audit requirements.

Built with the exclusive Rotoflex URC control system providing a user-friendly operator interface and the eDrive advanced web transport system, the Security Series also features the Report Management System tool for the collection and analysis of real-time production data, the new biometric  authentication for secure operator access, integrated inkjet and barcoding, backnumbering and more.

Another productivity advantage of the Security Series is integration with workflow or roll-mapping applications where press-side inspection systems generate a defect map which is sent to the rewinder. A defective area is automatically stopped at the splice table for repair or removal. The Rotoflex waste wind-up option can be added to remove large lengths of waste material while maintaining accurate length and label count.

Security Series can be specified as a new equipment option or as a retrofit to existing installations, enabling customers to configure their finishing option to meet the ever-increasing requirements of pharmaceutical compliance and high security packaging.

Manohar Dhugga, Rotoflex director of engineering and service, said: ‘The new Security Series further revolutionizes pharmaceutical and compliance label finishing with incorporation of the latest in servo technology for ultimate control and automation, and new software developments that support both a standard and pharma/security mode with the push of a button, making it truly a multi-purpose machine. Our application design team has worked closely with pharmaceutical customers to ensure the Security Series complies with the most demanding and unique security inspection requirements, and is the preferred solution for increasing compliance demands.’

The Security Series is Rotoflex's third new product release in the last three months, following the previously announced HSI horizontal slitter rewinder and Vericut3 for digital label finishing.
