Fifteenth RSP inspection installation for Rotocontrol

Rotocontrol has completed its fifteenth installation of the RSP single pass 100 percent security inspection machine. Machines are serving the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries throughout Europe, South America and Asia.

Unveiled at Labelexpo Americas 2010, the RSP is designed for compliance with demanding security label inspection and finishing applications and can operate in three distinct levels of compliance conforming to the required level of security, including Full Compliance, Controlled Compliance and High Speed Inspection.

In Full Compliance mode, intended for applications where 100 percent compliant labels are guaranteed, a defective label must be corrected and re-inspected before the process can continue and cannot be overridden by an operator. Controlled Compliance mode benefits finishing runs with premium value-added labels requiring the highest of quality but allows the operator discretion to re-inspect a corrected label or bypass the re-inspection system after manual inspection or correction has occurred. The High Speed Inspection mode for standard labels engages the 100 percent vision inspection system but does not utilize the re-inspection capability. 

‘One of the RSP features that appeals to converters is the extremely small footprint: it only requires 1.2 x 2.6 meters of floor space plus the moveable control panel, which is critical in constrained manufacturing space as companies continue to expand with additional pre and post-press high technology equipment,’ said Michael Aengenvoort, business development manager for Rotocontrol.

Marco Aengenvoort, managing director of Rotocontrol, commented: ‘I am pleased with the success to date of the RSP 100 percent security inspection machine. Performance and reliability feedback has been extremely positive, and the product continues to be a strategic focus for Rotocontrol in addition to the digital and booklet machines now available through our LeoMat brand.’
