Touch-screen control for stretch wrappers

Staff -- Logistics Management, 3/1/2005

Touch-screen control is now available for all of Lantech's automated stretch-wrap systems. Special features include five pre-programmed wrap patterns that can be changed by the user and switched on the fly. The control readily accommodates custom wrap patterns with separate settings for film overlap (up and down) as standard. Other upgrades to the control are an ANSI-compliant signal light and horn for alarms, a complete alarm history, animated "help" screens keyed to faults, and combination starters for all motors to eliminate fuses. The control eliminates the need for a laptop to change standard program timers or monitor the programmable logic controller for troubleshooting, while free PLC programming software allows full access to the control's code for in-depth changes.
