Mosca GmbH, a specialist for strapping machines and materials, presents the SoniXs P7-Connect, the next generation for fully automated operations. The new machine succeeds the SoniXs MP-6 and offers extended functionalities.
The SoniXs P7-Connect sets new standards in the entry-level segment of automated strapping. The strapping machine has been specifically developed for seamless integration into fully automated production lines. It is based on state-of-the-art technology for strapping cartons or bundling products in a production line. It offers customers reliability and focuses on connectivity and Industry 4.0 capability with its cutting-edge control system.
The highlights of the SoniXs P7-Connect
“With the SoniXs P7-Connect, we offer our customers a future-oriented entry into the world of fully automated and digitalised strapping,” explains Andreas Ding, Senior Innovation Manager Sales at Mosca. The machine has three key features that set it apart from its predecessor MP-6 and further equipment in the market segment. For example, the switch from circuit board to intelligent controls offers greater functionality, increased modularity, and maximum process reliability. It resembles the SoniXs TR-Connect in terms of control technology, but at a significantly more attractive price.
The SoniXs P7-Connect is network-compatible and enables data transmission via mobile communications directly to the cloud, from where the recorded information can be integrated into ERP systems and reused. The WebHMI is available to customers as standard for intuitive operation. An optional WLAN module makes it quickly and flexibly accessible. Thanks to the new interface options and extended access via the WebHMI, customers can establish comprehensive settings and configure interfaces individually. The machine’s IoT capability also ensures high data transparency and improves availability, even beyond the actual production site.
The proven user-friendliness has been retained in the new generation. Among other things, it features the integrated spool slider for easy material access as well as the automatic threading process, which further increases ease of use.
Technical specifications and variants
The core of the SoniXs P7-Connect is the proven and highly efficient standard 7-SoniXs sealing unit. The energy-efficient SoniXs ultrasonic sealing technology is one of Mosca’s key competencies and enhances the quality and performance of the strapping process. To ensure maximum flexibility, the machine supports PP straps with a width of 5, 8, 9, or 12 mm. The SoniXs P7-Connect will be available in the standard frame sizes 600×600 mm, 800×600 mm, and 1000×800 mm.
Powered transport tables in belt or roller versions, which are designed for automated product feeding, enable the integration into automated lines. The machine has all necessary interfaces, including the highly flexible OPC UA interface, to ensure smooth machine and system communication and enable customers to use data-based solutions.
With the launch of the SoniXs P7-Connect, Mosca underlines its role as an innovation leader, as Andreas Ding confirms: “We provide our customers with technologies that already meet the upcoming market requirements for digitalisation today”.
