New solution for double turret slitter rewinders: the patented TAPELESS REWINDING APPLICATION

Cason Srl introduces another smart innovation for its double turret slitter rewinders INNOVA MATIC 4.0: the TAPELESS REWINDING APPLICATION. This patented solution has been introduced at drupa fair in Düsseldorf (May 28 – June 7, 2024).

The development of a reliable and innovative solutions is the result of a deep experience and careful listening of Cason’s customers and their needs, which year after year confirm Cason as an international player able to provide innovations for all Converting sectors such as flexible packaging and paper industries, solutions that can use both medium-small businesses and large multinational players.

Winning key points of this rewinding application

Easy of use: the operator’s friendly solution for slitters
Direct and indirect time saving: the production cycle is smooth
Multi-material solution: special application for different sectors
Easy-release: highly valued feature for digital printing markets and cold seal applications

The operator's friendly solution for slitters

The first feature of the TAPELESS REWINDING APPLICATION is its ease of use: maintenace free, tool free application and operator free from intervention.

One of the difficulties in introducing an additional feature, in modern equipment, is that most of the time those solutions, to gain the desired results, become complicated and difficult to set for the operator who already has plenty of different variables to manage to achieve the desired productivity and reels quality.

For this reason, Cason’s R&D department has studied a solution that would be a real benefit for the operator’s working life, no additional time or special skills are needed. The result of this study is the TAPELESS REWINDING APPLICATION, a plug and play solution harmonized into the slitter cycle.

Direct and indirect time saving with automatic double turret slitter rewinders

Another important characteristic of this smart innovation is the direct and indirect time saving, in comparison to manual or automatic nowadays technology (taping material on the core).

In manual taping mode, the operator needs to invest time each cycle to tape each core before new cycle starts, this has a direct effect on the time taken by the operator between cycles.

In automatic mode (using a dedicated tape dispenser), the speed of the slitter is reduced during each cycle to allow the dispenser to position the tape correctly before changing the turret.

Furthermore, the dispenser needs to be checked and filled time to time, replacing the tape’s roll and doing some maintenance.

With Cason’s TAPELESS REWINDING APPLICATION, no time is spent on these operations, thus making the production cycle smooth and without any jamming.

Multi-material solution for slitters

An interesting peculiarity is also the high versatility of the solution. The TAPELESS REWINDING APPLICATION is a multi-material solution that could be integrated into Cason double turret slitter rewinders ready to process a wide range of materials such as plastic films, metallized films, paper, laminated materials and semi-rigid materials.

This versatility allows to spread the offer of this special application to different sectors such as flexible packaging, converting and paper industries.

Easy-release function for slitter rewinders

A special advantage of Cason’s TAPELESS REWINDING APPLICATION is the possibility to produce – in automatic restarting – high volumes of easy-release products, a highly valued feature for the newest digital printing markets and cold seal applications.

The easy-release feature is highly requested by final users of our customers in the above-mentioned sectors to prevent eventual jams on the final packaging machines or units that process reels from our customers.

This Cason’s patented application has been developed with the aim to fully cover the different process steps in the production plant to bring added value by facilitating the operations and maintenance of the slitters and making the equipment setup smarter.

Slitter rewinders INNOVA MATIC Evolution 4.0: a new series made in Cason

Thanks to decades of experience and the application of the latest innovations in the industry, Cason in 2022 launched a new series of fully automatic, next-generation double turret slitter rewinders guaranteeing its customers higher and higher performances.

INNOVA MATIC Evolution 4.0

The new generation of Cason INNOVA MATIC Evolution 4.0 slitter rewinders optimizes all the production processes of the previous machines by including new technical solutions with the aim of making the entire production cycle as automated and smooth as possible, while maintaining a very high level of customization. 3 are the synergies on which this new INNOVA MATIC Evolution 4.0 slitting machine series is based: intrinsic values, customized solutions and innovation.

Intrinsic values

The new series is designed following the structure of Cason slitting machines, which have always had highly ergonomic features.
In fact, the design of all Cason slitting machines is studied to ensure easy, safe and fast operations with intuitive and quick controls while maintaining the practicality of the systems – such as the cutting system – on a human scale.

The optimization of the time spent on the various steps is one of the “must-have factors” for Cason: technologies have been developed that, applied to operations from the mechanical and electrical point of view, are fast and smart, both for the operation of the slitting machine and for managing its maintenance.

The safety systems installed in Cason’s slitting machines fully meet all international standards, while still ensuring that the operator can intervene on the machine in a convenient and easy way.

Customization has always been the flagship at Cason: a dedicated in-house R&D department develops ad hoc designs for each customer that are made in-house in the production area where our technicians can reshape each solution so that it is in line with every need, even the most particular ones.

Respecting the achieved experience, today Cason is progressing towards ever higher levels of customization and the new INNOVA MATIC Evolution 4.0 series is proof of that.

On this machine there are already provisions to accommodate various solutions and install external systems such as auxiliary equipments either at the design stage or by future customer choice, thus leaving free space to add functionality and flexibility suitable to meet any new market needs, such as including auxiliary equipment like micro-macro perforators, inspectors, punching-units and web cleaning systems.

Innovation

In the new INNOVA MATIC Evolution 4.0 automatic slitting machine model, produced entirely in the Mornago plant, all of Cason’s technology and innovation is focused on increasing production efficiency.

By creating new standards, new solutions are offered to the Converting market, which increasingly needs flexibility, ergonomics and interconnection.
Among the latest innovations there is the core dispenser with automatic loading, a solution capable of loading and positioning new cores on rewinding shafts in a completely independent and automated manner, thus relieving the operator of this task, guaranteeing high positioning accuracy and preventing any human errors.

This dispenser is directly connected to a dual-function unloading station, which on one hand allows the automatic positioning of cores on rewinding shafts and on the other hand the automated unloading of finished reels for optimal integration with the automation system.

Integrations with Handling division

Cason’s Handling division is in charge of developing automation systems for reel handling downstream of the slitting department by creating tailor-made solutions for each customer so as to interface different slitting units and accommodate, package, label and palletize what is produced, guaranteeing traceability, respecting operator’ safety and improving the productivity of the entire slitting department.

Combining the know-how and the experience of the Handling division, the new INNOVA MATIC Evolution 4.0 series is designed to include all the necessary arrangements for easy physical and software integrations with automated packaging systems.

The physical configurations allow simple and cost-effective connection to automated unloading systems, the software arrangements a quick and easy exchange of production data between the slitting machine and the handling systems.

Integration with Industry 4.0

Software arrangements concern the complete connectivity between customers’ E.R.P. management systems and the software within Innova Matic, this is made possible by the integration of Industry 4.0 paradigms that make communication and processing of indicators easier and more functional. Applying the Industry 4.0 model, the customer gets a valuable tool capable of collecting, sorting and giving value to the KPIs set: data are exchanged in an intuitive and effective way and then translated into graphs and dashboards that return readable and immediately applicable operational parameters.

Cason Industry 4.0: organization, traceability and value

Why Industry 4.0 is important

Industries, in a faster dynamic and global market, need flexibility and openness to new technologies in order to maintain a competitive position.

This context can be interpreted as an opportunity for transformation and evolution, also made possible by performance monitoring: when looking for new growth solutions, Companies need production data, which provide a clear picture, not only of current performance, but also of that one potential.

Industry 4.0 definition and applications

Companies only process a small percentage of the collected numbers to obtain value from them. Industry 4.0 is an easy and immediate tool with which to create better business models that are able to transform the collected data into concrete actions and intercept any errors.

By considering several key parameters for analysing production trends, such as the speed, quantity and operating time of each product, Industry 4.0 makes it possible to have a greater awareness of the actual costs and thus revenues, thus being able to vary planning and add value.

The Industry 4.0 for Cason

Cason manufactures slitter rewinders and automation systems designed with 4.0 in mind, enabling its customers in the flexible packaging sector to optimise data interchange, track and analyse plant productivity, and provide reliable and accurate data in real time to the plant manager, the production manager and the sales department.

The key point of Cason’s approach to Industry 4.0 is to make simpler and more functional the exchange and processing of indicators between its customers’ E.R.P. management software and the software inside their machine, thus determining a smooth, intuitive and effective exchange of data.

In addition, this means offering its customers a high degree of flexibility and customisation, both in terms of the possibility of selecting the data to be collected and the ability to provide a history of the machine’s PLC messages.

Thanks to this dynamism, the software developed at Cason enables a mechanism called “machine learning”, which allows the systems developed to perfect themselves, increasing their productivity and reducing the possibility of errors by learning from the information collected and analysed.

Industry 4.0 design

The design and the development of this software is managed entirely inside the Cason factory by a team of professionals who, combining experience and innovation, are able to meet the specific needs of each customer by providing targeted, fast and timely after-sales support, thanks to direct and secure remote connection.

The advantages and the values of Industry 4.0 made in Cason

The advantages of the 4.0 software that Cason offers its customers are not limited to a simple remote support to the client, but thanks to the high level of customisation, it allows them to achieve:

A synergy between production departments with the cutting department and warehouse
The certainty of the production times and the rationalisation of the production cycles
The optimisation of schedules
The monitoring of KPIs, which provide readable and immediately applicable operational parameters
The reduction of human errors and production waste
Complete traceability

Industry 4.0 capabilities and traceability

The traceability guaranteed by Cason does not only concern the products, but also the work of every single machine interconnected within the cutting department, thus allowing the customer to always have the history of the operations carried out available.

Complete traceability also allows interconnection with automatic systems for handling and packaging the finished reels and therefore easier and faster management of the company’s warehouse and internal and external logistics.

Industry 4.0 opportunities and challenges

In conclusion, we can say that choosing to leverage Industry 4.0 technologies does not only mean having a remotely connected machine, but also concretely obtaining collaborations with customers so a valuable resource that allows monitoring and evaluating production performance with a view to connecting costs with benefits.

For our customers we are not just suppliers of machines but partners with whom to share projects, building solutions together and achieve ambitious goals.
