FA-X Superstar High-Speed
is the Fameccanica medium-high capacity machine,
thought and designed to get higher machine performances,
on the basis of the proven FA-X Superstar platform.
“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.
“Full modularity”:
the machine is modularly designed so that it can
be accurately configured for the specific product
structure agreed. Future upgrades are easier as
the upgrading kits can be easily plugged to the
existing configuration.
“Easy
installation and start-up”: thanks
to the high integration of utilities inside modules,
it is possible to achieve the best results even
in terms of quick installation
at the Customer’s plant and future
relocations become easier. |

This machine is equipped with
enhanced raw material feeding systems to guarantee
the best web stability: off-line
unwinders with brushless servomotor driven expanding
spindles, tension control systems, web accumulation
for “Zero- Speed” cut&splice
at full machine speed.
Splicing boxes with “easy web preparation
system” are employed. The cross-wise position
of materials is constantly controlled through electronic
web tracking and self-alignment equipment.
Additional tension control devices,
with brushless servomotor equipment, guarantee the
best web tension control and allow reduced tension
in case of accurate application of delicate materials.
Several solutions are available
for the feeding of materials like elastic bands,
elasticized ear-tapes, tape tabs, frontal tape (manual
or automatic splicing, on-line assembly capability
or use of pre-assembled materials, standard or high
diameter reel, etc.). |

MODE DIP Mill
(new 2008 released version with enhanced performances)
for highly efficient fiberization of any kind of
treated or untreated pulp with low power consumption;
servo-driven double infeed system
for pulp web advancing and automatic splicing
capability, suitable for on-line mixing
of two different pulps. The machine can be equipped
with one or more mills to feed each pad forming
section independently. The rotary drum forming allows
for the manufacturing of contoured, flat or longitudinally
and/or cross-wise profiled pads and is suitable
for “ultra-thin” absorbent
core formation.
“Multistream” forming
capability allowing different absorbent core designs
and for effective S.A.P. (Super-Absorbent Polymer)
blend applications. The machine can be integrated,
as an option,
with the Fameccanica Su.Per.Form. Module, the Superior
Performance Forming Module specifically designed
for “ultra-thin” absorbent core formation,
high ratios SAP/Fluff, high pad
integrity, maximum pad weight accuracy. |

Fameccanica-design process
guarantee the effectiveness and the accuracy of
each step of the manufacturing process at the
high production speed performed.
Each of them include the most advanced features
needed for the specific application and
for long life of the components.
According to the specific units, typical characteristics
are: temperature control (heating or chilling) systems,
fine adjustment systems, re-phasing systems, integrated
lubrication systems, torque limiters and devices
for easy disconnection.
Specific table hoist available for easy
loading and unloading of complete leg shaping
unit for fast size change-over. |

DRIVE
TRAIN AND MOTION CONTROL |
|
|
|
| First class 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
by powerful PLC with distributed I/O allowing
the easiest implementation of retrofitting modules.
Programmable Limit Switch for an
accurate management of electronic phasing.
“Touch-screen”
control panel, for centralized management
of all machine operation phases (start-up, shut-down,
changeover).
Different versions of display are
available (alphanumeric or ideograms), for 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 |
|
|
|
| New Fameccanica DATAMATE
system is available and integrated in the converter
operator panel, for the collection, storage and
analysis of production data (production, scraps
and downtime). Additional functions for specific
requirements are available with Fameccanica
Datamate “Plus”: an advanced
version allowing also for the monitoring of raw
material consumption and for multi-shift statistical
analysis. |
|
| 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.). |
|
According to final destination,
the machine can be designed in compliance to local
safety regulations (CE for European
Countries, and UL or CSA
for North American Countries, etc.).
The whole machine has been designed keeping in mind
operators' safety. Continuous improvements are accomplished
thanks to dedicated internal audits. Different kinds
of jib hoists are available, including special types
designed for easy and safe semiautomatic reel-handling
from the pallet to the
machine. |
