Managing Director of RotoControl GmbH announced the launch of high-speed inspection
Marco Aengenvoort, Managing Director of RotoControl GmbH announced the launch of high-speed inspection, cutting and rewinding finishing machines for the label industry on 11 March 2009. RotoControl is offering 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. It claims to provide 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.
Aengenvoort said, “Our machines are a result of integrated development Aengenvoort said, “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.\”

S-Drive technology
RotoControl has integrated the inspection, slitting and die cutting technology in its machines, including driven elements using Servo Drive technology (S-Drive). The technology offers an electronically synchronized drive system while providing operator friendly, complete control of the web at any speed (up to 320mpm). S-Drive technology claims to keep the machine stable while performing at higher speeds through ramp up to full stop. Other advantages stated included soft wrapping, low maintenance, easy error analysis program and a new standard for user-friendliness with the graphical user interface.

Stable flexibility through modularity”
The RotoControl RSI slitter, rewinder and inspection machines come standard with S-Drive web control, onboard unwind, label and length counting and crush knife slitting. With a modular structure RotoContol says that it can be individually tailored to customer needs or be upgraded in 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.

Integrated vision inspection and control
Coupled with RSI high performance automation, the 100% inspection capability and the integration of machine and image in conjunction with vision inspection partners offers quality assurance. Dual pass pharmaceutical machines allow re-inspection of corrected faults without rewinding, offering reliable solutions for different applications.

The Covid-19 pandemic led to the country-wide lockdown on 25 March 2020. It will be two years tomorrow as I write this. What have we learned in this time? Maybe the meaning of resilience since small companies like us have had to rely on our resources and the forbearance of our employees as we have struggled to produce our trade platforms.

The print and packaging industries have been fortunate, although the commercial printing industry is still to recover. We have learned more about the digital transformation that affects commercial printing and packaging. Ultimately digital will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future.

Web analytics show that we now have readership in North America and Europe amongst the 90 countries where our five platforms reach. Our traffic which more than doubled in 2020, has at times gone up by another 50% in 2021. And advertising which had fallen to pieces in 2020 and 2021, has started its return since January 2022.

As the economy approaches real growth with unevenness and shortages a given, we are looking forward to the PrintPack India exhibition in Greater Noida. We are again appointed to produce the Show Daily on all five days of the show from 26 to 30 May 2022.

It is the right time to support our high-impact reporting and authoritative and technical information with some of the best correspondents in the industry. Readers can power Packaging South Asia’s balanced industry journalism and help sustain us by subscribing.
