In launching the new Vision centre winder at CMM Elite Cameron explained that the machine has many unique features which provide total flexibility for the future, at a time of ever changing market conditions. The machine is modular in construction and will enable customers to specify . the level of options they require today, knowing that they can up grade the machine, simply, with minimal cost at a later date.

A typical job change on the Vision can be accomplished in less than three minutes, with one operator, which includes slit change, cut cores, reel change and resetting of the machine parameters.

Flexible packaging film customers receive tremendous benefits from the machine with a maximum speed of 500 metres/minute and overhead web path for cleanliness and improved inspection. Other options include duplex turret rewind, auto reel ejection, auto core cutting and insertion, auto knife setting, core and label printing, web cleaning and video inspection.

The machine's flexibility is achieved through the control system, which utilises Flex IO control modules that can be added with the mechanical options and plugged in for direct integration with the PLC. All of the control screens are pre-loaded and can be activated as and when required. The mechanical modules such as rewind, reel handling etc. lend themselves to volume production minimising manufacturing costs
