Ora di nuovo sulla scena mondiale
Infinity Machine and Engineering Corporation, leader globale nelle apparecchiature automatizzate per il confezionamento di tissue, è entusiasta di presentarsi ancora una volta sulla scena mondiale.
A causa della pandemia di Coronavirus, molte fiere ed eventi del settore sono stati sospesi. Tuttavia, mentre il mondo passa alla fase successiva di gestione della pandemia, molti eventi del settore sono tornati in programma.
Infinity sarà presente Tissue World Miami dal 16 al 18 marzo Tessuto e carta Bangkok il 14-16 settembre e terminano il loro tour mondiale a Lucca in Italia al MIAC il 12-14 ottobre. Infinity sarà presente allo stand B30 al Tissue World Miami, allo stand D10 al Tissue and Paper Bangkok e allo stand 27M al MIAC.
Mentre il mondo sembrava essere in pausa negli ultimi due mesi, gli ingegneri di Infinity hanno lavorato duramente per sviluppare le ultime innovazioni nel confezionamento automatizzato dei prodotti in carta igienica. L'apice di queste attività e l'obiettivo principale del tour mondiale di Infinity 2022 è il loro nuovo involucro multipack VISION G3.
Capace di produrre pacchi larghi cinque corsie, alti tre strati e profondi sei file, VISION G3 ridefinisce la versatilità per le incartatrici multipack. La VISION G3 può anche produrre confezioni in polietilene, confezioni in carta, confezioni incartate e confezioni di fazzoletti per il viso.
Anche gli ingegneri Infinity non hanno sacrificato la velocità per questa maggiore versatilità. Grazie a un design telescopico rivoluzionario (in attesa di brevetto) sul poli svolgitore, il VISION G3 è in grado di raggiungere velocità maggiori e una migliore qualità del pacco.
Tissue World Miami, Tissue and Paper Bangkok e MIAC sono l'occasione perfetta per saperne di più sul VISION G3 in prima persona dall'esperto personale di vendita di Infinity. Tuttavia, se non sei in grado di partecipare a questi eventi del settore, VISION G3 sarà disponibile per la visione presso le strutture Infinity di Green Bay, Wisconsin e Bologna, in Italia, durante la loro vetrina all'aperto e in qualsiasi momento online all'indirizzo infinitymec.com/vision-g3-wrapper.
LSS ti dà il controllo totale
On a production line, every second counts. Any disturbance, like a bottleneck or a jam can cause a reduction in Overall Equipment Effectiveness, resulting in lost time, and lost revenue.
It may sound cliché, but in production lines, time is money, and it was for this reason Infinity developed Line Synchronization and Simulation software.
Infinity’s LSS, gives operators the ability to control the speed of the line and harmonize the downstream system as a single unit.
LSS is able to accomplish this by monitoring downstream machine process data, the accumulator level and the line’s target speed. LSS sets the target speed for the line, based on individual bottlenecks, and then controls speeds for all the equipment.
This is essential in tissue converting lines as they need the ability to feed enough product for wrappers to continuously run, while the downstream equipment needs to be able to run faster than target speed when there is a backlog.
The LSS software continuously monitors downstream machine process data including the machine speed and material status. Then LSS adjusts the line to compensate for any changes that arise. These adjustments could be anything from increasing the speed of a leg, to letting an accumulator fill to a certain level or even slowing down the line to clear a disturbance.
The data used by LSS is controlled by the master programmable logic controller which can be shared with another machine PLC or a dedicated PLC.
Identifying bottlenecks, and altering line speed in accordance with upsets ensures that machines are operating at their maximum uptime and least mechanical stress. By reacting to line irregularities, LSS can resume full production quickly, resulting in increased OEE.
However, Infinity LSS doesn’t just react to changing circumstances, it also anticipates them. LSS can account for changes in raw materials on a machine, the speed of the machine can be increased to create a time buffer for the change in material.
In addition to this, LSS can also anticipate disruptions by monitoring for a presence or absence of products in a certain area. If there is an irregularity in the flow of a product, we can pause the line for a conveyor jam.
Since different products and different configurations can change the target speed, requirements, or overall objectives of a line, LSS is completely customized based on a consumer’s unique requirements. Features like output path adjustments, accumulator level monitoring and log distribution can all be tailored for a consumer.
Another key component of Infinity’s LSS is the simulation service. By using Emulate 3D software, Infinity emulation engineers can create a functional three-dimensional virtual version of the product line. This allows customers to see their line in action, test different product formats, check photo-eye positions, speeds and production data, all before installation.
In essence, our LSS program allows our customers to have confidence in their purchase by giving them a virtual check-out.
The LSS service also offers customized Human Machine Interfaces that display the entire packaging system. The LSS HMI gives the operator a visual of the states/faults of the conveyor section, and also allows them to change drive section controls from automatic to local.
From the top down, Infinity LSS was designed with efficiency in mind. This unique service allows for maximum OEE, pre installation testing and personalized, user-friendly HMI. To learn more about our LSS services, reach out to your nearest Infinity Sales office.
