NO WASTES ¾ giving the guarantee that the process can take place

without any under or over dosage of the adhesive from the beginning

¾ the operator can change the adhesive add-on only within a certain range set by the production manager.

EASY TO USE ¾ the adjustment of the adhesive weight is immediate and

fully automatic and can be easily obtained by entering the desired working parameters on the display: this gives a quick solution to frequent production changes

¾ any operator can easily use the system adjusting the process parameters fully automatically and avoiding mistakes

MITSU INTERMITTENCY CONTROL

EASY to USE and SET-UPThe management of the intermittent adhesive application is very easy and intuitive thanks to MITSU Intermittency Control System.

The system reads the speed of the main line and the adhesive release starts fully automatically.

Once the length of the adhesive pattern and the total length of the product are set and the off-set frequency parameter is received from the main line, the die cutting operation is perfectly synchronized and consistent.

the main system status conditions are signalled to the operator by the “light tower” with four different colours
