Control
console
The F4 FLEXOEfficiency® press
is designed so that the majority of functions can be controlled
form the control console. Similarly, the SIMOTION platform creates
a high degree of electronic integration, eliminating electronic
equipment containers and simplifying maintenance tasks.
The control system is totally integrated in a graphical environment that simplifies
operation and understanding.
Many operations can be conducted through the display, such as
advancing/reversing the printing decks, placing all accessories
in operation, tension selection, machine speed and temperatures,
inserting change orders at a pre-established footage, operations,
etc.
Additionally, production data can be obtained for later analysis,
such as the quantity of quality footage, the quantity of lost footage,
work time, downtime, printing time, average real speed, and more.
By assigning the reasons for downtime by the operator, statistics
can be gathered on the distinct causes of stoppages and the times
for each one. All the data can be stored in the computer memory
and/or on discs as necessary.
Also job tickets can be created for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of job changes, enabling the operator to later recover these job tickets.
