Lauterbach Group installs Grafotronic machine

Lauterbach Group has invested in its first Grafotronic HI3 inspection slitter / rewinder system.

The Grafotronic HI3 is a third generation fully servo driven inspection slitter / rewinder machine with max speed of 400 m/minute. It is compatible with most web inspection systems and supports accurate fault placement onto an operator friendly, wide, viewing area for removal or replacement of defects. It is upgradable with a semi-automatic turret and automatic slitting knives.

‘We were not happy with our existing machinery, so we invested in the Grafotronic HI3. It’s built really well. We got rid of the old machines and kept only one for ultra-short runs – because we are so productive with the Grafotronic HI3’ said Shane Lauterbach, president of Lauterbach Group. ‘We didn’t have to buy another machine... even small run jobs are super-fast.’

‘It ́s just a great piece of equipment. The tension system is awesome. The ease of use is fantastic. The interface is easy to work with. Efficient, fast, and productive.’ said Heath Lauterbach, vice president of operations.
