MANY LASER REFERENCE LINES
ONE SERVO AXIS
In multi-layer nonwoven lines, a single recipe means dozens of projected cutting references. Measuring and adjusting each one individually turns the changeover into the longest stop of the shift. ServoMotion moves each carriage to its recipe position in sequence, and once setup is complete, all lines remain visible at the same time.
FROM THE FIELD

ON THE LINE
DO THESE
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Measuring 26 blade positions one by one stretches the changeover well beyond the shift plan.
A millimetre of deviation on each slit adds up and becomes visible on the outermost cut.
When edge quality drops, it is not obvious whether the cause is the blade, the tension or the position.
Setup errors only come to light on the first product, when the cost has already been incurred.
WHAT WE MEASURE ON SITE
PARAMETERS THAT
DEFINE THE SYSTEM
The parameters below drive the design decisions in this segment. We measure these values on your line and base the quotation on that data.
| Number of simultaneous reference lines | The blade count in your densest recipe determines the number of carriages. |
|---|---|
| Slit width range | The narrowest slit determines line thickness and positioning tolerance. |
| Total working width | The widest recipe on the line determines travel range and rail length. |
| Changeover frequency | The number of changeovers per day forms the basis of the payback calculation. |
| Rail and traverse structure | The rail plane translates directly into positional accuracy. |
| Automation interface | Whether recipe data can be read from the line controller defines the integration scope. |

FOR THIS SEGMENT?
MOST APPLICATIONS
SHUTTLE PRECISOR
Multi-layer nonwoven lines need dozens of reference lines visible at once. A single servo axis carries the laser carriages to their recipe positions in sequence; each carriage locks on the rail, and once setup is complete, all lines remain visible together.

CORE PRECISOR
If only a few reference lines need to be visible at the same time, an enclosed industrial profile may be sufficient at a lower investment. The decision is based on the densest recipe.

SHUTTLE PRECISOR · 26 LASERS · 2,300 MM TRAVEL
A three-rail shuttle architecture: one servo axis carries 26 carriages to their recipe positions in sequence, each carriage locks on its rail, and once setup is complete every line stays visible at once. These figures come from one example installation; the dimensions for your line are determined during the site survey.
