Rotoflex demonstrates advanced control system

Rotoflex displayed its most popular finishing models at Labelexpo Europe. The stand featured a VLI 440, two VSI 330s and a DSI 330, allowing attendees to see a wide variety of inspection, slitting, rewinding and die-cutting capabilities. 

For the first time in Europe, each of the machines had an operator-friendly Genesis advanced control system. Created and developed exclusively by Rotoflex, Genesis is available on all Rotoflex inspection rewind machines. With a simple HMI, operators can monitor all functions and clearly identify faults and issues from a single screen. Integration of the system into multiple machines on the production floor allows operators to easily transfer from one machine to another without relearning the complexity of a new control system. 

The advanced system can detect missing labels in multiple lanes as well as detect the presence of a matrix. With multi-lane counting, the converter gets accurate label counts for each roll. The capability to count and inspect a variety of label shapes – not just squares or rectangles – results in an accurate count of labels per lane, regardless of varying label shapes or lengths. 

Live machine demos were held daily with rewinding experts demonstrating how converters can take control of their workflow by incorporating Rotoflex technology.
