Atkin Automation to show three products for the first time at MACH 2010

Smart Roll Feed features a number of in-built safeguards which provide operator confirmation that it is safe to commence feeding, thereby preventing expensive damage to tooling. Companies which already use Atkin Automation's transformer core lines will find the upgraded system software of particular interest as it provides greater productivity and product options, from existing equipment. Also on show, for the first time, will be the Sandsun range of quick die change elements, for which Atkin Automation has recently been appointed the exclusive UK supplier, as detailed in this recent news story. At a typical system cost of £5,000 (ex VAT) for 8 clamps, one power unit and two die arms, the pay-back period can be very short for many factories, where current production line costs are often upwards of £800 per hour.
