The FastChange 4-spindle turret rewinder, aimed at finishing self-adhesive labels, combines the expertise of both companies. F+V Automation focuses on automation and mechanical engineering to optimize manufacturing processes in the areas of converting and labels, as well as the packaging and pharmaceutical industries.

Marco Aengenvoort, managing director of Rotocontrol, said: ‘Through the close co-operation between the two companies, process-related experiences along with expertise in design can be pooled into automation capabilities, which is evident in the successful design of the FastChange.

‘Future Rotocontrol/Leomat and F+V Automation collaborative projects are planned to efficiently link the expertise of both companies and enhance the automation of finishing machines.’
