Rotocontrol to launch slitter rewinders and flexo overprinter at Labelexpo

At Labelexpo Europe 2009 in Brussels, Rotocontrol will exhibit inspection, slitting, rewinding and die-cutting finishing machines – RSC and RSI with DRM Turret – along with the EDM200 servo driven flexo overprinter.
 
Rotocontrol servo driven machines are said to provide convenient operator interface through graphical input and display, with excellent access to all web viewing and handling areas. Security inspection single pass machines, multiple die, lamination and coating stations are also available. 
 
The Rotocontrol RSC series offers a full suite of standard features in a compact machine designed to maximize operator efficiency. Vertical inspection zone, automatic tension control, servo driven operation, job save and simple, functional controls are claimed to result in increased productivity. 
 
The Rotocontrol RSI series of inspection machines are designed for fast, accurate, inspection, slitting and rewinding of all types of labels. The fully modular machines offer standard features as well as numerous options allowing tailored solutions.  Complete die-cutting modules and 100 percent automatic inspection through fully integrated Vision Systems are also available.
 
The Rotocontrol DRM series dual rewind semi-automatic turrets are offered as an accessory to the RSC and RSI line of slitter/rewinder and die-cutting machines. The DRM features dual mode operation where the module can be operated as a turret or alternatively in dual rewind mode with the shafts locked in position. Automated cutting and core attachment, along with full integration into the all RSI and RSC machines, allows the DRM to increase product throughput.
 
The EDM200 is claimed to be the world’s first ever designed semi-rotary, servo-driven UV flexo machine, using sleeve technology for both print and anilox cylinders, and working with chambered doctor blade technology. The machine is designed to work mainly as an over-printing machine and has been specifically developed to provide economic production of short-run and fast turnaround for labels, tickets and tags. With its insetting register control system it is possible to re-pass a pre-die-cut and/or pre-printed web in absolute register, and due to the servo-driven, semi-rotary web advance mode the printing length is infinitely variable. The printing sleeve makes seamless or endless printing possible when the machine is running in fully rotary mode.
