| Lantech adds Click-n-Go control to stretch wrapper | ||
|
||
 July 14, 2009 – Lantech's Simple Automation stretch wrapping systems become easier to use with the new Click-n-Go wireless remote control. Click-n-Go enables fork truck drivers to simply place a pallet load on the stretch wrapper, back away a few feet and press a button. It also gives the operator more flexibility by eliminating the need to stop within reach of a lanyard, the other option often used for remote start. Using line-of-sight transmission and a two-step activation process, the Click-n-Go system is immune to interference or accidental activation from stray radio frequency interference in a typical plant environment. Safety is maximized by requiring two buttons to be depressed in sequence for each machine activation: the "arm" button initiates visual and audible alarms at the machine, followed by pressing the "start" button. Click-n-Go maximizes the utilization of drivers and material handling equipment by fully exploiting the advantages of Lantech's Simple Automation stretch wrappers equipped with the patented XT cut and clamp that automatically starts the film on each load and cuts/holds the tail of the film after wrapping. The Simple Automation machines – Q300XT, Q300XT Plus, Q-400XT and S300XT – keep the operator on the lift truck for maximum productivity. The Click-n-Go remote control is currently available for shipment on new machines, as well as for retrofit to existing Lantech Simple Automation machines. |
