STRAPPING machine specialist Mosca has unveiled the SoniXs P7-Connect, described as the next generation for fully automated operations.
The model succeeds the SoniXs MP-6 and is said to offer extended functionalities. The strapping machine has been developed for ‘seamless’ integration into fully automated production lines and is based on technology for strapping cartons or bundling products in a production line.
“With the SoniXs P7-Connect, we offer our customers a future-oriented entry into the world of fully automated and digitalised strapping,” said Andreas Ding, senior innovation manager sales at Mosca.
The firm revealed that machine has three key features that set it apart from its predecessor MP-6 and further equipment in the market. The switch from circuit board to intelligent controls is designed to offer ‘greater functionality, increased modularity, and maximum process reliability’. It resembles the SoniXs TR-Connect in terms of control technology, but at a ‘significantly more attractive’ price.
The SoniXs P7-Connect is network-compatible and enables data transmission via mobile communications directly to the cloud, from where the recorded information can be integrated into ERP systems and reused. The WebHMI is available to customers as standard for intuitive operation.
An optional WLAN module makes it ‘quickly and flexibly’ accessible. Customers can establish settings and configure interfaces individually. Mosca added that the machine’s IoT capability ensures high data transparency and improves availability, even beyond the actual production site.
The core of the SoniXs P7-Connect is the 7-SoniXs sealing unit. The machine supports PP straps with a width of 5, 8, 9, or 12mm. The SoniXs P7-Connect will be available in the standard frame sizes 600×600 mm, 800×600 mm, and 1000×800 mm.
Powered transport tables in belt or roller versions, which are designed for automated product feeding, enable the integration into automated lines.
