overview
Thanks to its special PATENTED pre-stretch carriage, HELIX MAX combines very high productivity, typical of ring wrappers, with ease of use and simple maintenance, typical of arm wrappers.
HELIX MAX can be equipped with CUBE TECHNOLOGY™ (optional), another Robopac patented technology that allow the application of exactly the right amount of film, exactly in the right position with exactly the correct containment force.
The competitive price together with low maintenance costs and maximum application flexibility, make this new arm wrapper a perfect solution for all automatic production lines.
option & data sheet
PGSA - CUBE TECHNOLOGY L.1 - VARIABLE PRE-STRETCH CARRIAGE
Pre-stretch carriage with double independent motorisation, which allows to pre-stretch the film from the control panel, with a 100% - 300% range and control system through inverter.
It is possible to apply up to 12 force containment values on the pallet.
The adjustment of the containment force on the pallet is controlled by a reactive system based on the CUBE TECHNOLOGYTM Level 1.
SCSP/2 - CUBE TECHNOLOGY L.2 - VARIABLE PRE-STRETCH CARRIAGE
The adjustment of the containment force on the pallet is controlled by a PROACTIVE system based on the CUBE TECHNOLOGYTM Level 2.
EXACTLY the right amount of film EXACTLY in the correct position with EXACTLY the proper containment force
HOT PLATES SEALER
Hot plates device to fix the final edge of the film on the second-last wrap using heat.
The film is cut by an hot wire
The sealing plates are mounted on springs to adapt to the surface of the product, and the sealing time can be set from the HMI panel.
EVO SPRING CLAMP
The device is specifically designed to guarantee perfect finishing of the end edge of the film by electronically controlled impulse sealing on constant film thickness.
The final sealing of the film takes place on a mechanical support, accurately avoiding direct contact with the product.
Also available in the version with fixed spring clamp and with horizontal movement to handle various pallet width and for low profile conveyors.
VERTICAL PRESSURE PLATEN
Device for pallet retaining system that apply a vertical force on the pallet during the wrapping cycle, to keep it more stable during wrapping operations.
Used with particularly unstable loads and the upper covering systems (Top Inside/Top Outside).
Available in versions with mechanical movement by means of pantograph system or pneumatic drive.
TOP INSIDE COVER DEVICE
Automatic system integrated in the structure of the machine for covering the upper surface of the pallet.
Allows a waterproof or dustproof protection of the load.
Horizontal movement realized using timing belt.
The reel is positioned at floor level on dedicated support to facilitate loading operations.
TOP OUTSIDE COVER DEVICE
Automatic system for covering the upper surface of the pallet against dust.
It's an independent structure placed outside the machine, normally installed on the conveyor before wrapper position.
The top of the pallet is covered with the pallet in motion.
The device has electrical system integrated with the wrapping machine.
An electrical crane system (optional) is fixed on the top structure for easier reel replacement.
ROPING DEVICE
Optional system to reduce the width of the film to a "rope" and ensure a more effective stabilisation of the load.
Available in 3 versions:
ROPING FROM BOTTOM
Reduce the film bandwidth from the bottom, creating a small rope that is applied at the level of wood axis of the pallet, while the remain part of film not roped is applied on product.
ROPING FROM TOP
Reduce the film bandwidth from top to bottom, to create a complete rope that is normally applied at the level of wood axis of the pallet.
The pallet is wrapped from the bottom up to its top with open band film. The film band is then narrowed from the top along its entire length to create a "rope" and applying the cord in a spiral down to the bottom. The final part of the cycle is carried out with open film.
ATTENTION: this operation involves the "cord" being placed on the product. If the product or its packaging is delicate they could be damaged.
ROPING WITH DOUBLE MOVEMENT
The cycle consists in wrapping the pallet from the bottom up to its top with film in open band to then narrow it from the top downwards forming a double "rope". The final part of the cycle is carried out with open film. The narrowing movements of the film band can be independent or synchronised with each other.
ATTENTION: this operation involves the "cord" being placed on the product. If the product or its packaging is delicate they could be damaged.
CENTER MACHINE PALLET LIFTER
Device to lift up the pallet in order to allow the wrapping of the wooden pallet.
It is normally used in combination with roping device to guarantee the maximum stability of the load
Available with pneumatic or hydraulic drive.
It is located under the central machine conveyor.
VCA - CORNER APPLICATOR
Automatic corner applicator device for the protection of the pallet corners.
It consists of vertical storages combined with vaccum grippers and moving hands.
Thanks to a special control system (ROBOPAC patent) the vacuum grippers are able to "locate" in a fully automatic way the corners of the pallet, without any manual setting or adjustment.
RCONNECT
Device for controlling, collecting, processing and filing large amounts of data from installed machines. Through a dedicated access-controlled portal, accessible from PCs or any portable device, you can connect to all machines equipped with the Rconnect system and monitor their performance 24/7.
- Monitor your performance
- Improve your efficiency
- Detect and inspect your line failures
- Remote assistance in private connection without need of company LAN
TPM KIT & TROUBLESHOOTING
LESS IS MORE
TPM kit means lower and preventive maintenance and higher productivity.
- Avoid production lines downtime
- Visual control of the machine status
- Faster troubleshooting (optional add-on that helps operators to solve eventual problems)
Easy lubrication operations, red/green colored rings manometers and maintenance schedule directly on HMI with indicators and warnings.
SLIPSHEET FOLDING DEVICE
Device to allow the wrapping of lower flaps on slip-sheets with or without wooden pallet.
FILM CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT KIT
Thanks to this optional the machines are able to indicate in the HMI the real quantity of film applied on the load.
