  SPI and DPI accommodate multiple inspection functions such as bar code verification, matrix/missing label detection, flag and mill-splice detection, as well as print quality and count verification. Both systems can be equipped with multiple slitting methods, a leader and trailer creation system as well as multiple row back numbering. Log reports for audit tracking and core-label printing systems are also available.  

SPI and DPI Series

SPI and DPI Capabilities
 
eDrive web transport system on all active shafts including unwind, draw station and rewind
Auto Tension Control (hard to very soft rolls)
Operator friendly touch screen
Seven digit ‘main’ and ‘redundant’ counters with auto reset
Final count ‘stop’ with calculated automatic slow down
High security gated count
Four digit totalizer with final run preset
Pattern recognition for clear labels with visible printed characters
Electronic single edge web guiding
Operator definable acceleration, deceleration, jog speed, maximum running speed
Adjustable hardened splicing table on unwind
Fault placement for accurate verification and correction
Hardened web separating idler
Continuous estimation for remaining length and number of labels on unwind
Redundant check of key parameters including web length, machine speed and interlocks
Three level password protected operator interface
Automatic inside/outside wrap
Convenient side mount jog pedal
Display power-on time and running time
Save set-up parameters for repeat jobs
Automatic rewind web clamp
Automatic stop on roll end
Ethernet capability allows easy access for trouble shooting
Maintenance friendly diagnostics
Robust construction minimizing vibration and maximizing sound attenuation
 
Human Machine Interface (HMI)
 
HMI provides completely integrated operator control from a touch screen monitor. The operator can monitor unwind and rewind roll diameters and machine control menus for setting machine speed, unwind, and rewind tension values. Vision system menus are also selective for setting and reviewing inspection system performance.
 
eDrive Web Transport
 
SPI and DPI incorporate advanced eDrive (electronically-synchronized motor drive system) technology on all active shafts including unwind, draw station and rewind. Among other features, eDrive offers consistent performance, lower tension/higher speeds, fast/easy job set-ups and low maintenance.

Advanced Vision System Integration
 
Labels for security sensitive industries not only bear information, they also bear responsibility. For example, medical staff often make critical decisions in seconds based on the information contained on pharmaceutical labels. Under these circumstances, any error can have serious or even fatal consequences. Rotoflex works closely with its vision partners to provide the most advanced security technology available. These systems store "a known good image" as a reference and compares it with subsequent images for compliance.
 
Rotoflex vision systems provide advanced quality control by identifying various faults including ink defects, missing print, color changes, register movement, print to die cut, missing labels/matrixes and splices. The vision system displays the defects on a monitor, so that the operator can quickly locate, verify and correct the problems.
Uncompromised Slitting Integrity
 
The high precision camera locks the slitter to a printed feature or die cut edge of the label, enabling the slitter unit to follow the motion of the feature. This advanced technology compensates for web weave at the slitter unit, greatly improving the accuracy of the slitting in a stop and go environment (typical achievable figure is +/- 0.2 mm).
 
The system is user friendly and is fully integrated into the Rotoflex control electronics. The system alarms when slitting is out of tolerance with the option to record slitting accuracy for each roll.
