AB Graphic launches vertical slitter inspection rewinder

East Yorkshire, UK-based AB Graphic International has added the VSR vertical slitter inspection rewinder to its Omega range, which offers production speeds of up to 400mt/min. The system is designed to meet the demands of inspecting, slitting and rewinding a wide range of label substrates and is available in standard and servo driven versions.

‘The vertical design of the VSR provides an ergonomic alternative for operator location,’ explained Tony Bell of AB Graphic International. ‘We believe its speed is unrivalled at 400mt/min. The missing label, flag or splice detection system is capable of stopping the error incident in a precise location at speeds up to 300mt/min.’

The VSR inspection rewinder is available in 330mm, 430mm and 530mm widths to comply with modern press width trends. The standard machine comes complete and ready to slit, rewind and count self-adhesive labels and many other substrates. A full range of options is available and include motorized roll lift, razor and crush slitting, missing label, splice or flag detection and 100% print face inspection through PC based camera system.

‘With the increased use of servo driven printing presses many of our customer are now required to convert a wider range of delicate substrates,’ added Bell. ‘The VSR servo driven version provides precise material handling throughout the machine and includes closed loop tension control and servo driven unwind.’
