FEATURES |

“Full modularity”
chassis configuration and “Easy installation
and start-up” concepts are applied:
high integration of drive, pneumatic piping, vacuum
ducting, electrical equipment and wiring, installed
inside modules.
This machine has been designed on the basis
of the experience made on the more
performing sister FA-X Superstar, described
in the previous pages, thus maintaining the same
process concepts, the same chassis configuration,
the same robustness and also the most of the components
employed. For this reason, this machine is definitely
one of the most efficient and reliable
machines in its market segment.
“Full
servo technology”: each process unit
is independently driven as well as each material
feeding and transport system so that machine
set-up and format change operations are
easier and each process step can be quickly adapted
when different materials are used or operating conditions
change.
Mechanical version available upon request. |
|
The machine is equipped with unwinders
with motorized expanding spindles (one motor per
reel), tension control with dancers, web accumulation
systems and automatic “cut&splice”
systems.
The cross-wise position of the product structure
materials is constantly controlled through electronic
web tracking and self-alignment
equipment.
Several solutions
are available for the feeding of specific materials
like elastic bands, elasticized ear-tapes, tape
tabs, frontal tape (on-line assembly capability
or use of pre-assembled materials, standard or high
diameter reels, etc.). |
|
MODE DIP Mill
(Fameccanica.Data patented technology) for highly
efficient fiberization of any kind of treated or
untreated pulp with low power consumption; double
infeed system with automatic splicing
capability through automatic switch of
the pulp sheets.
Fluff absorbent core
delivery systems with rotary drum forming
for contoured, flat or longitudinally and/or cross-wise
profiled pads.
“Multistream”
forming capability allowing different absorbent
core designs and for effective S.A.P. (Super-Absorbent
Polymer) blend applications.
Suitable for “ultra-thin”
absorbent core formation.
“Airlaid”
absorbent core processing capability with
different feeding systems available, specifically
designed to handle materials supplied in all the
different forms today offered by the market (reels,
festoons). |

Fameccanica-design process
units are utilized to guarantee the user-friendliness
and the accuracy of each step of the manufacturing
process.
Then, some ingenious solutions are adopted, such
as the edge shaping unit that has been specifically
designed for a long-life, maintenance-free
operation.
Other typical characteristics are: temperature control
(heating or chilling) systems, fine adjustment systems,
push-button operated re-phasing systems (to guarantee
accurate phasing with line in run), integrated lubrication
systems. |
FAMECCANICA
LASER CUTTING TECHNOLOGY
The FAMECCANICA LASER CUTTING
TECHNOLOGY is a proven turn-key solution
specifically developed by Fameccanica for
the purpose of cutting and shaping disposable
articles such as lady sanitary napkins, panty
shields, baby diapers and training pants,
adult diapers and adult pull-up pants.
The system provides:
- high flexibility during operations
- lower overall costs
- easier management of size change
- elimination of cutting unit-ops and spare
parts handling |

DRIVE
TRAIN AND MOTION CONTROL |
|
|
|
| Brushless servomotors
and digital drivers are employed
and accurately networked to make each process unit
run synchronized at any time. |
| |
LOGIC
CONTROL OF MACHINE FUNCTIONS |
|
|
|
Machine Functional Control
is supplied by a powerful PLC with distributed
I/O allowing the easiest implementation
of retrofitting modules.
Programmable
Limit Switch for an accurate management
of electronic phasing (glue application, etc.).
Operator interface for centralized
management of all machine operation phases (start-up,
shut-down, changeover).
Alpha numerical display of operation
messages on machine running mode, downtime and automatically
rejected products. |
|
Quality control system
with raw material presence and/or application control
and automatic rejection of defective products, to
guarantee top-quality production targets.
Visual web inspection system available. |
| |
PRODUCTION
DATA SUPERVISION |
|
|
|
| Product data management
system is available for the collection,
storage and analysis of production data (production,
scraps and downtime, Pareto charts). |
|
| A wide range of specific equipment
can be installed for the filtration of the air needed
for the manufacturing process (self cleaning rotary
filters, dry sacs systems, equipment for connection
to centralized plant filtering systems, etc.). |
|
Designed in compliance with European
Safety Regulations.
The whole machine has been designed keeping in mind
operators' safety. Continuous improvements are accomplished
thanks to dedicated internal audits. Safety guards
with safety switches and security locks on operator
and drive side are installed. |
