Following customer feedback from high-mix production environments, we have upgraded the CX-RGB Roll Bag Machine with motorised width adjustment and a digital position readout as standard equipment across all models.
The problem with manual adjustment
On the previous generation, changing roll width required a spanner, a rule, and a lot of patience. In practice, experienced operators took 35–45 minutes per changeover — time that adds up fast when running multiple roll sizes per shift. Misalignment after changeover was also a common cause of edge-fold defects.
The new system
A pair of servo-driven ballscrews move the slitter frames symmetrically from the centreline. Width is entered on the HMI touchscreen and the machine positions itself to ± 0.2 mm. A digital linear encoder on each frame provides real-time position feedback. Total changeover time: under 10 minutes including the test run.
Recipe storage
Up to 50 width recipes can be stored and recalled by product code. When integrated with a production scheduler, this enables fully automated changeover sequencing with no operator intervention on the width setting.
Availability
Motorised width adjustment is standard on all new RGB-1000 and RGB-1200 builds from Q2 2025. It is available as a retrofit kit for machines built from 2022 onwards. Contact our service team for retrofit pricing.
