LAYFLAT CONTROL
Kalibro
Layflat automatic control system
Ideal for:
- Frequent layflat size changes
- Low extrusion line speed
- Personnel with limited experience
Total control with the utmost simplicity
Easy to use: simply enter the width set‑point and the required tolerance limits on the terminal.
It helps save time and reduce scrap during start‑up and product changeover.
Lower tolerances and much better control than with manual adjustments.
Constant lay-flat stability, all through the production process.
Accuracy and costs optimization
- Ultrasonic sensors for stable and repeatable measurement.
- Measurement system resolution: 0.1 mm.
- Control system accuracy: ±2 mm (for layflats below 1800 mm).
Resulting in:
- Scrap and waste reduction, thanks to high precision level of the layflat measurements.
- Material savings thanks to a minimal edge trim or even by trimming the film’s side edge.
- Consistent lay‑flat stability throughout the entire production process.
A feature‑rich yet simple and intuitive interface
- Automated settings adjustment when a new layflat set-point is entered.
- Automated control of the fans.
- Automatic fans balancing: in case that the air flow needs to be modified manually, the operator only has to adjust the OUT fan and the system will automatically balance itself to reach the optimal settings.
- Visual alarms when layflat threshold is exceeded.
- Automatic control of the cage opening/closing process based on pre-set layflat value.
