Rotocontrol unveils vacuum splice table

Rotocontrol has launched the WC70 vacuum splice table as an option on the company’s RSC and RSP ranges of slitting, rewinding and inspection machines. 

By automatically placing mill-splice/flags, matrix/missing labels and vision detected defects right on the vertical inspection plate for reworking, the operator is only required to leave the rewind zone to change the master roll. The vacuum and mechanical clamping system holds the material in a vertical position at eye level directly in front of the operator, ‘assuring perfect splices for finished rolls every time’, says the company. 

Manohar Dhugga, Rotocontrol’s field applications engineering manager, said: ‘With over 15 years of engineering and field service experience, I can attest to the value of the vacuum splice table option, specifically the ergonomic benefit it provides the operator of the finishing machine. The waste rewind retracts after use to allow full access to the slitting system, enhancing operator efficiency.’
