New iControl interface available on all MPS press lines

MPS has launched its intelligent press interface iControl to help press operators to work more accurately and with higher productivity. First shown at Labelexpo Europe in Brussels in September, the new operation interface is now available on all MPS press lines. 

iControl comprises a dial button combined with touch screen panels. After choosing the desired machine function, the setting figures are dialed with the button. During operation the operator gets full information from iControl printing station panels while different colors are glowing around the dial button, depending on the press status. 

The press line operation procedure starts on the small touch screen display, which shows figures and graphs about machine functions like ‘register length’, ‘register width’, ‘pressure sleeve’, ‘pressure anilox’, and general machine settings like speed. When the operator wants to give new setting values, after touching the machine function he dials the button until the setting value is achieved and confirmed.
