Rotocontrol has introduced RSC 2.0, its next-generation RSC inspection slitter rewinder, which features a higher operating speed and larger roll handling capacity to help meet the demanding requirements of today’s label market.

RSC 2.0 features include transport speeds up to 550m/min, a user-friendly touchscreen panel with 2000 job memory, vertical or horizontal inspection configurations, and unwind diameter support up to 1.2m. Automatic tension control, S-drive servo operation, and operator ease-of-use are standard design features.

A unique vertical vacuum splice table allows for simple web splices and eliminates the need for web clamping, according to Rotocontrol. Waste rewind is ergonomically positioned below the splice table eliminating the requirement for operator bending throughout the entire splicing operation. A horizontal splice table is also an available option with the RSC 2.0. Tension control is maintained during high speed stops through the automated web tension management system.

A quick-change slitting cartridge system allows operators faster set-up times with less down time for job or blade changes. Tool-less cartridge exchange with pre-mounted set-up gauge rules offers safe changeovers, in as little as 30 seconds.

 Engineered and manufactured in Hobart, Wisconsin, EMT/Rotocontrol will provide direct 24/7 technical support and remote service for the RSC 2.0.

Rotocontrol managing director Marco Aengenvoort said, ‘As our flagship inspection slitter rewinder, the RSC-Series has always focused on high-quality components and operator efficiency. With the next-generation RSC 2.0, all the essential features for inspection and slitting various types of labels are made possible.’
