How does RollCode’s technology save converters money?
The greatest savings occur at the slitter where typically, an operator needs to be stationed to watch for flags which had been manually inserted into the roll at the coater or printer. Not only is the operator inspection not required, but since the stopping is automatic, the slitter can run at maximum process speeds until the very last moment. The manual approach requires that an operator run the machine a little slower so he can watch for the flag, stop a little early so he doesn’t miss the spot, and then creep to the final location.
