Rotoflex (St. Louis, MO), a world leader in inspection, slitting, rewinding and die-cutting equipment, has released the new HSI Slitter Rewinder designed for high-volume label slitting, inspection and rewinding. Built with “the extreme ruggedness and reliability of its flagship VSI vertical design series,” it offers label converters an operator-friendly horizontal configuration. Features of the new machine include 330mm and 440mm web widths, 1,000 fpm running speed, extra-large inspection table, ergonomic 940mm-high editing area, easily accessible slitting module, a straightforward web path and a conveniently located finished roll rewind. With end-to-end servo control design, the HSI also features the Rotoflex URC 2.0 proprietary control system with simple menus and an intuitive interface, giving operators the ability to monitor all functions from a single screen quite easily.
Its small footprint is configurable for a variety of vision-inspection solutions and offers a range of options – such as the new biometric (fingerprint) authentication for operator access and the Rotoflex exclusive Report Management System (RMS). With the RMS tool, real-time production data can be collected from multiple finishing machines to a single interface, which can be accessed remotely via a computer or a handheld device. RMS can generate a variety of detailed, customizable reports on performance variables – such as run time, defects, production volume and scrap generation – as well as compare outputs of multiple machines.
“Designed with the proven robust construction of our successful VSI series, the HSI is an advantageous solution for converters preferring a horizontal slitting inspection configuration in their off-line finishing machines,” said Manohar Dhugga, Rotoflex Director of Engineering and Service. “The HSI is one of many new business-responsive technologies to be unveiled in the next few months, supporting our commitment to deliver high quality, innovative solutions that drive customer profitability.”
With more than 8,000 installations globally, Rotoflex has been a world leader in inspection, slitting, rewinding and die cutting equipment for over 40 years. Rotoflex equipment is supported globally by the largest OEM customer support team in the industry, and is a brand of Mark Andy Inc.
