AB Graphic launches Auto Slit

AB Graphic has launched Auto Slit, a new digital knife box that automates slitting and set-up for labels and packaging production through a HMI touchscreen interface.

Designed to be compatible with AB Graphic’s Digicon, Omega and Vectra label converting lines, Auto Slit eliminates both time and material waste and permits set-up of the slitting knives through a touchscreen interface

Designed to be compatible with AB Graphic’s Digicon, Omega and Vectra label converting lines, Auto Slit eliminates both time and material waste and permits set-up of the slitting knives through a touchscreen interface.

The fully modular system can be supplied as an option with machine purchase or as a retrofit on existing converting lines supplied by the company.

Andrew Noble of AB Graphic International said: ‘Auto Slit saves on both time and material waste and permits set-up of the slitting knives through a touchscreen interface. The operator simply enters the job parameters into the system and the knives are automatically positioned in seconds.

‘For example, a job requiring 15 knives can take up to 5-10 minutes to set manually – Auto Slit permits this to be done in less than 50 seconds without handling the knives which also increases operator productivity.’
