setting the standards
The key to the success of any activity in the manufactur-
ing environment is setting and holding standards. Stretch
wrapping is no exception. To successfully wrap your
loads and to ensure that they reach your customer in as-
made conditions, it is critical that you set and hold the
proper standards for wrapping each of your loads.

Robopac’s intuitive 7 inch color touchscreen makes it

easy to set up the correct parameters for wrapping each
of your loads. You control containment force, rotation
speed, roping and banding at 9 levels on each load.

holding the standards

Once you’ve set your standards, the new Rotoplat 508 makes
it simple to hold those standards. Robopac’s software allows
you to record up to 6 unique wrapping programs.

Lock in the best wrap settings for up to six completely unique

load configurations and save them. Your operator can then
recall the appropriate program over and over with a touch of
the control panel. You can name each program to ensure that
your operators always select the correct standard.
Robopac’s innovative technology allows you to wrap
your loads correctly every time, ensuring ultimate load
protection and film savings ¬time after time.

The goal of Robopac’s Multi-Level Control Technology

is simple: give you the tools you need to successfully
wrap your loads and ensure that they reach your cus-
tomer in as-made condition by setting and holding the
proper standards for wrapping each load. To achieve
this, Multi-Level Technology addresses three key fac-
tors:

Multi-Level Variable Containment Force delivers

optimal containment force at each level. Containment
force on the Rotoplat 508 is
adjustable up to 9 times on
each load.

ProActive Corner Compensa-

tion combines the latest in
motor and load cell technol-
ogy to give you the ability
to wrap any load securely
without crushing the cor-
ners of the load. The corner
of every load is the biggest
constraint to film savings and
load containment. Competi-
tive systems deliver 30% to
40% higher containment on
the corners of the load than
in the middle causing either
repetitive film breaks or load
failures due to crushing and
collapsing the corners of your
boxes. Robopac’s 508 will
provide a more consistent containment force across
the entire perimeter of the load.

Strategic Film Placement allows you to place the film

exactly where it has the most impact on load stability
and containment. This innovative technology allows
you to place bands of film or roped film in critical areas
of your loads. Thousands of hours of testing in our labs
have shown that putting film in the correct position,
with the correct containment force is key to success-
