CIMLine
Xp is a real-time process management system engineered
specifically for sheet, film, and roll goods manufacturing.
The system combines scanning measurements, process
control and information management into a single
operator environment.
Application-specific
packages include film and sheet extrusion, biaxially-oriented
film, nonwovens, extrusion coating/laminating,
paper and metal coating, and rubber and vinyl
calendering.
CIMLine
Xp is uniquely positioned to generate a significant
initial economic return while providing a foundation
for on-going automation and expansion.
Key
elements, which maximize utility and minimize
life cycle costs include an Ethernet network backbone,
workstation-based operator consoles, and plug-in
electronics.
The
modular architecture allows the system to be cost
effectively scaled from basic measurement applications
to linewide automation configurations, which incorporate
product, process and drive controls.
