A Rockwell Automation Case Study
Newfoil Machines Limited, a world leader in roll-fed hot foil label printing and converting machines, needed an automation solution that could meet demanding accuracy and quality requirements for premium labels. Working with Rockwell Automation and its Allen-Bradley control suite, Newfoil sought to improve machine performance, simplify design, and support its Servo range of presses.
Rockwell Automation implemented an integrated solution using CompactLogix PACs, Kinetix 5500 servo drives, PowerFlex variable-speed drives, and PanelView Plus HMIs over EtherNet/IP. The result was reduced design time, less programming effort, easier troubleshooting, greater flexibility, and improved safety and maintenance for customers. Newfoil also reported much better productivity and a return on investment improved by 80%.
