ABG has launched the new Vectra AutoSet, the latest addition to Vectra family of turret rewinders that includes the ECTR and HDTR models.
The launch marks 30 years of Vectra production and the installation of over 2,500 units.
The Vectra AutoSet, which was initially demonstrated at Labelexpo Europe 2023, boasts a ‘state-of-the-art’ AutoSet cutting mechanism, enabling a fully automated set-up that integrates the latest in label applicator technology.
ABG said one notable feature is the optional inclusion of the fleyeVision camera system and ABG Connect – offering 100% inspection with full automation and connection to an MIS system, all within a non-stop process.
Additionally, the Vectra AutoSet has advanced SKU label printing capabilities and introduces a new glue application method. which utilises heat exchange technology to extend the open time of the glue, offering greater control and the option to switch between a spiral and glue stripe for narrow cores.
The design is said to ensure easy mechanical integration with ABG’s Digicon Series 3 and Converter, as well as third-party presses. It is available with or without a glue option.
Mark Norman, technical director at ABG, said, “We’re excited to launch the new Vectra AutoSet. The Vectra range has been instrumental in driving efficiencies for our customers for many years. This new model not only consolidates Vectra’s position as the premier turret rewinder in the market, but also future-proofs it with a host of new features and enhanced functionality. The Vectra AutoSet is a testament to our commitment to advancing our customers’ businesses.”
