Can speed, overlap, start\/end rotations, and pressing force be set per program?<\/td>\n<td>Enables different packaging routines for varying product shapes without reprogramming the PLC.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Control interface &amp; language<\/td>\n<td>What languages does the HMI natively support? Are the PLC and HMI software included? Which brand (Siemens, Delta, Omron) is used?<\/td>\n<td>Affects operator training time and future modification costs; licensing fees vary by brand.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Safety integration<\/td>\n<td>What type of safety contacts are provided? Can external safety light curtains be added? What safety controller is used?<\/td>\n<td>Critical for line integration and compliance with local machinery directives (e.g., CE, OSHA).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film handling efficiency<\/td>\n<td>Is pre\u2011stretch fixed or adjustable? Is automatic film attachment and cutting included? How is the film end secured?<\/td>\n<td>Impacts film consumption per load and cycle time; adjustable pre\u2011stretch (e.g., 100\u2013300%) saves material costs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shipment &amp; factory support<\/td>\n<td>Can you visit the factory? What are typical FOB or CNF costs? Is on\u2011site installation available?<\/td>\n<td>Reduces project risk and helps budget planning; visitor policy must be understood.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>\ud83d\udcc8 Option A \u2014 Standard Horizontal Wrapping Machine (Continuous Mode)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The standard machine runs a continuous wrapping cycle and includes a Chinese\/English HMI, automatic film cut\u2011and\u2011clamp, and two potential\u2011free safety contacts.<\/strong> This configuration suits most production lines requiring full\u2011length coverage. Key specifications (source: supplier datasheet; verify directly):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Wrapping programs<\/strong>: Multiple programs available via screen. Speed, overlap, start\/end rotations, and pressing force are adjustable per program.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Wrapping mode<\/strong>: Continuous only. For spot wrapping (beginning, middle, end), the program must be modified (see Option B).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Film end handling<\/strong>: Automatic cut\u2011and\u2011hold for the next cycle, but the film end on the product must be manually secured.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Pre\u2011stretch<\/strong>: Fully adjustable from <strong>100% to 300%<\/strong> \u2013 critical for film optimization.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Control panel<\/strong>: <strong>Chinese &amp; English<\/strong> display standard.
