What used to take hours is now done in minutes. Changing the rails for a new run is simply a matter of selecting the package from a menu or clicking on a photo of the package. This eliminates costly line downtime and because of the accuracy of ASTRRA, the rails will be returned to their proper position time after time.
Now you can bring your line up to speed more quickly knowing that the rails are perfectly positioned and centered, resulting in additional throughput which will increase your productivity and improve your bottom line. |
| Got a new product coming onto the line? And it’s a wacky shape? You don’t have time to keep on stopping your production line to manually tweak the rails. With ASTRRA installed, it’s only a matter of measuring the package width, keying in the width (plus a couple of millimeters for clearance) and commanding a changeover. In minutes, you can fine tune your line to achieve maximum throughput in less time it would take you to just loosen the rails with manual systems. Then you can store this data, along with a photo of the package for future changeovers. |

A. S. Thomas, Inc. provides several different interface and control options to accommodate any user requirement from dedicated HMI’s to integration with existing user control panels.
Because changeovers are so easy, you can now run smaller lots, increasing the plants flexibility while reducing wasteful overstock conditions. Runs previously thought unprofitable can now be viewed as viable prospects.
