WSI Global Announces Industry-Leading GenieCut Windowing Machine
New machine dramatically reduces make-ready time over competing products
WSI Global, a leading manufacturer of finishing equipment for the carton converting, liquid packaging, and corrugated industries, announces the release of the revolutionary GenieCut windowing machine. Designed to incorporate the action of a windowing machine directly into a folder/gluer line, the Genie Cut delivers increased ease of use and drastically reduced make-ready times compared to competing products. The machine is capable of operation at speeds of over 600 belt feet per minute, and is ideally designed for carton converting applications in the food and cosmetics industries.
The WSI Global GenieCut detects each printed, die cut carton being fed from the host machine and uses highly accurate sensor technology to place a designated length of film at a precise location on the carton. Critical in windowing applications, the GenieCut is capable of reliably forming a complete, solid frame of glue around the entirety of a carton window opening.
The machine can save and recall job setups for different carton windowing processes, drastically reducing make-ready time between jobs and simplifying training and operation. The GenieCut also does not contact the paper with the glue applicator, leading to reduced cleaning and maintenance needs. With fewer moving parts and reduced maintenance needs, the GenieCut is simpler to operate and is capable of processing cartons more quickly than other windowing machines.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
