At Curt G. Joa, Inc., our research and development team works to continually develop new technologies and processes. Here is a small sampling of some of our technologies. To learn more about our offerings, or if you would like to partner to on a new development, please contact us.
Our robotic loading system automatically refills the unwinds, and discards of expired roll cores. By eliminating the need for manual loading, you can reduce labor costs, increase safety and eliminate human error.
Simply prepare material rolls in a designated area, and the ARLS system will pick up the rolls and load/unload them onto the unwinds. The unwind area can be equipped with badge-reader technology, enabling only authorized personnel access to the unwinds.
Joa’s turret unwinds feed material into the machine process, splicing expiring material rolls to new material rolls without slowing the production speed. This technology eliminates the need for accumulators and shortens web paths.
Joa’s vision inspection system provides individualized inspections combined with custom software, allowing for the most comprehensive inspection system for your production process. The system includes:
- Area/Line Scan Inspections
- All necessary hardware
- Dedicated software
- Data acquisition system integration
- Installation/Set Up/Training/Support
Available for baby diaper and adult brief lines, the Gentle-Touch Folder provides a low-impact folding process. Developed to prevent the cracking of cores, the Gentle Touch Folder allows customer to increase machine speed while maintaining product quality.
