RotoControl GmbH Now Providing High-Speed Inspection Machines for Label Industry


Ahrensburg, Germany (March 11, 2009) - Marco Aengenvoort, Managing Director, today announced the launch of RotoControl GmbH providing high-speed inspection, cutting and rewinding finishing machines for the label industry. RotoControl offers sophisticated Servo Drive Technology (S-Drive) machines assuring 100% stable control of the entire web with multiple options in the RSI line as well as smaller basic RSC models, all enabling maximum web control for the most delicate film and foil materials. RotoControl provides customers complete systems that offer consistent performance, low maintenance, lower tension/higher speeds, easy job set up and operation, and online phone support from expert technicians.

"More productivity. More quality. "Marco Aengenvoort states it simply. "Our machines are a result of integrated development meeting the needs of our customers looking for simple and intuitive operation, the highest degree of automation, full integration of all components and modular design. With our top model (RSI 430), we are certainly at the forefront of the development of label control machines with integrated inspection systems."

More productivity with S-DRIVE drive technology

RotoControl integrates the latest inspection, slitting and die cutting technology in its machines, including driven elements using sophisticated Servo Drive Technology (S-DRIVE). The S-DRIVE technology offers an electronically synchronized drive system while providing operator friendly, complete control of the web at any speed (up to 320mpm) - especially key for film and foil material applications. In comparison to competing products, S-DRIVE Technology keeps the machine stable even while it is performing at higher speeds through ramp up to full stop. Further advantages include soft wrapping, low maintenance, easy error analysis program and a new standard for user-friendliness with the graphical user interface.

"Stable Flexibility through Modularity" with the RotoControl RSI Machine Systems

The RotoControl RSI slitter/rewinder/inspection machines come standard with S-DRIVE web control, onboard unwind, label/length counting, crush knife slitting and many more. With a modular structure it can also be individually tailored to customer needs or be upgraded in the future. Modules currently available include: inspection, shear and razor slitting, die cutting (with or without registration), sheeting, separate unwind as well as laminating and printing modules.

More quality through integrated vision inspection and control

The integration of machine and image in conjunction with our Vision Inspection partners offers the highest degree of quality assurance. Coupled with RSI high performance automation, the 100% inspection capability provides unprecedented quality control. Dual pass pharmaceutical machines allow re-inspection of corrected faults without rewinding, offering reliable solutions for the most sophisticated applications.
