The SoniXs TR-Connect strapping machine and the SoniXs TRI-Connect inline strapping machine provide enhanced connectivity for packaging end processes in the printing industry. The two modules are fully automated and perform cross-strapping automatically. The SoniXs TR-Connect is used for transverse strapping, while the SoniXs TRI-Connect straps the product lengthwise. At the trade fair, Mosca will be showcasing the process using both PP straps and a combination of PP and paper straps in a width of 5 mm, thus demonstrating an alternative to conventional plastic straps for applications with light loads. The tandem machine is operated using a tablet, thanks to a Wi-Fi module integrated into both models.
In addition, the new interface facilitates seamless integration of both systems into existing production lines, either separately or in combination. “The standard integrated WebHMI enables operators to access real-time machine data such as availability, performance, and quality, and to make flexible adjustments as needed,” explains Jesser. Both solutions also allow operators to save up to three programs with precise parameters for optimal strapping.
The new digital package from Mosca allows for remote monitoring of strapping machines, offering increased flexibility regardless of location or time. Mosca offers access to important data such as machine efficiency, throughput, operating time, and warnings through a cloud platform, allowing faults to be rectified more quickly and costly downtimes to be minimized. “The optional digital package offers printing industry operators the opportunity to create an optimization strategy using machine and operational data, enhancing the efficiency of their processes,” explains Jesser.
