- Tools are provided for configuring the underlying settings of the EtherCAT devices. This is intended for any availability issues that may occur decades later.
- Able to interface with other communication standards for additional auxiliary components.
Optional Upgrades
Web Guide can be included on the Unwinder depending on customer’s requirements to meet desired side to side accuracy. This optional web guide on the Unwinder is used to align the web at the exit of the Unwinder. In this location, it can minimizes splice waste and improve general guiding accuracy
Remote Monitoring of Screens by Management or Maintenance. There can be either independent Virtual screens that the operator cannot see, or the same identical screen that is shared with the operator.
Reporting via email to Quality Control or Management. Reports job progress, or job statistics on an hourly, daily, or per job basis.
Memory saving capabilities in the cloud for an unlimited number of jobs
Monitoring via Remote Cameras for key areas of importance.
Automatic logging of critical machine data for indications of out of tolerance wear, Based upon this data, we can automatically schedule maintenance and be notified of components to be replaced.Self diagnostic reporting and maintenance reporting available
