GENERAL INFORMATION
The WT-25LCI incorporates many features that make it a practical alternative to expensive upright slitter/rewinder machines. It has an automatically synchronized strobe light that flashes with each passing label. This provides a "Stand Still" effect permitting the operator to evaluate label print quality at high running speeds.

The oversize table top and long web path provide additional stopping time when a defect is observed-before it is wound onto the rewind roll. The large table top also makes the WT-25LCI an ideal web handling platform for such devices as bar code validators, optical character recognition (machine vision) systems, and imprinting devices.

Additionally, the highly refined photoelectric counting system makes this machine well suited to the pharmaceutical roll label printing and packaging industries where label count reconciliation is required. For simple operations, the counting system can be set to operate in the length counting mode.


PHOTOELECTRIC COUNTING SYSTEM
A thru-beam type scanner is supplied as standard equipment. The web passes between a light source and a photodetector. Pressure-sensitive die-cut labels with a space between them appear as dark images to the scanner. This scanner can also be used to count labels with punched holes.

A "Count/Standby" switch allows the unit to retain its count and resume when desired. A "Manually Increment Count" pushbutton allows the operator to compensate for labels that have passed the scanner location during initial set-up. When used in conjunction with the "Count Up/Count Down" switch, the operator can also subtract counts when removing labels or pulling the web backwards.

An indicator light reminds the operator that the counter is in the "Count Down" mode and must be returned to the "Count Up" mode before resuming normal operation.


ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FEATURES
The electrical system was designed for high reliability, safety, and ease of maintenance. Special attention was also given to providing for future expansion. Spare terminals at strategic points make it easy for customers and systems integrators to connect auxiliary equipment. This includes terminals to connect "Stop" signals from external apparatus and terminals to operate other devices when the WT-25LCI motor is started or stopped. A set of spare terminals in the photoelectric counting system makes trigger pulses available to such devices as bar code readers and imprinters.

FEATURES
STROBE LIGHT flashes with each label to provide a "Stand Still" effect.

COUNT INDIVIDUAL LABELS OR BY LENGTH. Flip a switch to change count mode.

PEDESTAL-MOUNTED HIGH-VISIBILITY COUNTER

• Dual Preset. Set deceleration and stop points.
• Large, bright red LED display.
• Automatic Reset to Zero in length mode for winding repetitive roll lengths. In photoelectric mode, label count is preserved until operator presses the manual reset button.
• Bi-Directional Counting. Counts down automatically in length mode when material is manually pulled backwards. When counting photoelectrically, a "Count Up/Count Down" switch is used to change the count direction.
• EEPROM Memory. Retains data with power off.

THRU-BEAM SCANNER INCLUDED for counting normal pressure-sensitive and punched-hole labels. Optional scanners available (consult factory for your particular requirements).

OVERSIZE TABLE TOP with extra web length provides more stopping time when defects are observed.

RAZOR BLADE SLITTING ATTACHMENT AVAILABLE. (Requires air coreholder on rewind for multiple cores).

REVERSIBLE REWIND. Wind labels in or out.

ADJUSTABLE BRAKE to control web tension.

CHOICE OF COREHOLDER STYLES:

• Lift-off Cam-lock (mechanical)
• Air inflatable

INFINITELY VARIABLE MOTOR SPEED CONTROL with dynamic braking and solid state instant reversing. Relay operated for safety.

STAINLESS STEEL TOP with smooth, rounded corners and 4-inch high backrail.
