The latest innovation for the company’s leading TNA robag range automatically splices film, increasing packaging efficiency and maximising product throughput by reducing the need for manual intervention.
The new Auto-splice system overcomes challenges associated with preparing and changing the film roll on packaging machines. This procedure often requires manual intervention, impacting on operating costs and efficiencies.
The new TNA robag Auto-splice head, coupled with a robag dual-spindle film system, splices film automatically, joining the start of a new pre-prepared roll of film to the end of an expiring roll.
The film preparation is carried out while the machine is still running, with no interruption to the packaging process and no machine downtime. It’s also fully integrated with existing robag software that assists with the automatic reel change.
“Our new TNA Auto-splice system takes efficiency to the next level,” said MD Michael Green. “Capable of completing a cycle in approximately 15 seconds, this great addition allows operators to manage more machines per head and can result in huge operational cost savings.”
For the greatest efficiencies, the TNA Auto-splice system requires the TNA robag machine to be fitted with the TNA Auto-track system. With sensors that detect film misalignment, the TNA Auto-Tracking system automatically corrects itself by realigning the film system, reducing product waste and minimising downtime.
