ProAdjust™ automatically adjusts changeovers

­ProAdjust®, an innovative add-on solution that automatically adjusts the change-over points of most machines, will be on display at Automate 2015, Booth # 1182.  ProAdjust makes changeovers fast, accurate and repeatable on virtually any machine that requires changeovers.

Developed and supported by ProAdjust Engineers, ProAdjust improves a machine¹s overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) lowers costs, and is compatible with most machinery in every industry that requires parts to be changed over. ProAdjust is a self-contained system consisting of a controller and integrated Power Packs that provide the motion. The system is specifically designed to meet the requirements of an automatic adjustment system while being easy to install. The system is scalable from one to hundreds of adjustment points.  Wiring is plug-and-go, and most importantly, no programming is required.  ProAdjust uses a simple point and click touch screen interface for one-time machine setup and features an easy setup for creating and editing Œrecipes.¹

The ProAdjust integration is completed on-site and requires no middleware or manual adjustments to achieve consistent, precisely aligned, automatic adjustments of machine change-over points.  This results in increased throughput, while eliminating excessive changeover time, resulting in wasted production time and product. For example, a secondary packaging machine designed with 14 points of adjustment will take on average 28 minutes to changeover to accommodate a new case size. ProAdjust is able to cut changeover time to less than three minutes, resulting in a payback of just four months for the end user.
