NEPATA benefit #4: Precise cuts with 99.9 per cent accuracy

How do you benefit from NEPATA machines? Benefit number 4 in our series: precise cuts. Our machines operate with 99.9 per cent accuracy when rewinding. This means that the length deviation is less than one millimetre per metre – regardless of whether you’re rewinding ten or a hundred metres from the master roll.

Every centimetre too many wound onto a customer’s roll is wasted material. Every centimetre short of the required length can, in the worst case, lead to a customer complaint and a replacement delivery. Precise cutting therefore means less waste, fewer rejects and – particularly for the film trade – significantly fewer customer complaints.

Overall, the impact is considerable: by consistently avoiding waste, our customers save up to 5 per cent of their total vinyl film purchase volume. With rising material prices, this makes a noticeable contribution to their profit margin.

This high level of accuracy is achieved through the combination of precise length measurement on the machine and the ConvertPlus2 control software, which sends each job to the machine at the correct length and documents the result. The overview video for the UA770 rewind and cutting machine demonstrates just how effectively and precisely one can work with NEPATA’s machines and software.
