Sentient Automation and Gap Group rebuild a twin synchronous knife sheeter.

Breaking news: The machine runs production at 300mpm. 

The machine is now installed and has been running production for a couple of weeks whilst we commission the systems. Today the machine ran production at 300mpm including an automated palletiser and spear operated non stop delivery.

In collaboration with GAP Group Pty Ltd we have rebuilt the sheeter including some redesign of the conveyors, field I/O, drives and automated palletiser system. Some mechanical assemblies were also redesigned and rebuilt.

The machine has now been installed into a market leading local company and is now running production at throughput far in excess of the machine it replaced. Together with the cut quality this machine provides a significant benefit in speed, quality and operability to the customer.

The machine takes shape offsite as we rebuild.
