908 POLARIS  is IMA labelling system for recognizing cut-out fabric bundles which avoids markers printing, allowing drastic cut of paper, ink costs and also high abatement of environmental impact.

The system automatically applies adhesive labels to the top of the lay, giving the necessary information in order to recognize the parts of the model and of the bundle.
It is equipped with a thermal printer and can use adhesive labels of various sizes, depending on the quantity of information to be printed and the size / type of font or barcode you choose.

An optional software can automatically correct the position of the labels, placing them exactly at the center of the patterns or allowing the operator to move them at his own discretion. It is possible to add, remove, duplicate and modify each label.

The system is integrated into any spreading line and runs independently and at the same time of other machines, optimizing the dead times. It’ s compatible with any CAD system because it uses HPGL / HPGL2 file format used for plotter printing.

Technical features:
– Possibility to view the status of functioning of labelling machine
– Separate management of users and groups; authentication by user name and pass-word. Possibility of customization of graphic interface according to the requirements of the various groups
– Production data feed-back
– Detailed view of all data related to the works performed (file name, length, height, number of labels, total time, etc.)
– Data selection according to one or more filters arbitrarily applied
– Data printing and exporting in Microsoft Excel and text formats
– Composition of pie charts for data comparison

AMI is the name of the new software program HMI which manage IMA automatic cutting machines of new generation.

The automatic warehouse Chronos 812 has been designed for handling any kind of fabric rolls. The maximum dimensions of the fabric rolls are:

• Diameter = 400mm
• Fabric height 1600mm
• Roll weight 35 kg

The machine is made by three stations:

• Preloading / unloading station: it takes care of managing the rolls entering the warehouse (positioned on the lower belt) through a FIFO type queue, up to a maximum of 9 pieces, which will be stored inside the warehouse itself; it also guarantees the unloading of the pieces leaving the warehouse. Both stations are made with PVC belts, directly controlled by the warehouse software.
• Management warehouse: it is the actual warehouse, where fabric rolls are allocated in cradles, handled using a chain guided revolver system. The handling phase both in and out of this station is managed by the warehouse software.
• Interfacing station with spreader / unroller: this station automatically picks up the pieces returned by the spreading (with a special roll rewinding cycle) and gives the next one to the spreading to continue the process.

The warehouse structure can be customized, according to the number of rolls to manage, both in height and in length. The modularity of the machine also allows to manage rolls of different diameters. The strength of the 812 Chronos machine consists in making the next roll immediately available before the unloading operation of the previous one is completed. In this way, the dead times of processing are reduced, increasing the productivity of the spreading line and the related cutting connected to it. Chronos can manually manage the work queue (taking charge of a sequence of fabric rolls to be processed) or it can acquire the work queue to be created using the planning & management software. Included within IMA lines, the 812 Chronos warehouse meets the requirements of industry 4.0. It is also interfaceable with other external systems (to be estimated case by case).
