From autonomous parameter selection for perfect register control, to dynamic impression adjustment during speed changes, our intelligent software streamlines operator tasks while maximising precision.
Closed-loop intelligence across register, foil, speed and timing
Register & Foil
When fluctuations in print or hologram marks are detected, the controller independently selects the most stable of the stored control profiles.
Speed & Timing
At lower speeds, dwell time increases automatically to maintain embossing quality during setup and production slowdowns.
Single Image Foil
Accumulated deviations caused by foil manufacturing tolerances are automatically compensated. No operator input required.
Less foil waste, fewer roll changes, no lost impressions.
Waste reduction
When the production line stops, embossing continues until the last impression. Force and dwell time automatically regulated to maintain quality throughout.
Foil efficiency
After entering the job layout, the software automatically calculates optimal foil consumption. Fewer roll changes, lower waste, more sustainable production.
Configuration
Configurable with one or two foil levels. Enables combination of colour foils, register foils, 3D reliefs and micro-embossing in a single pass.
Flexibility
Rotates in or across the web direction. Software-optimised foil track layout per design for maximum savings on every job.
Intuitive setup functions and automated sequences reduce changeover time and minimise sources of error.
Threading
Foil does not need to be manually tensioned during setup. The RHINO® handles this automatically after threading — saving time and eliminating a common source of error.
Verification
The foil path and the alignment of the register foil can be verified without starting the entire production line. Confirmation is faster before the first stroke.
Repeat jobs
Set up repeat jobs in 10–15 minutes. The job-saver plate is stored with reference pins to ensure exact reproducibility. There is no need to cut the foil or web for cassette exchange.
Versatility
A variety of effects can be achieved, including two-colour and image embossing, all in a single pass. No second machine run is required.
Real-time monitoring, automatic protection and open data interface.
Roll management
The diameters of the unwind and rewind rolls are continuously monitored. A warning is given before the warning limit is reached and the machine automatically stops at the stop limit, ensuring that production is not interrupted by empty rolls.
Die protection
Any adhesive joins in the web are detected before the material reaches the embossing station. The unit then retracts automatically to protect the expensive embossing dies.
Data capture
All tracked and evaluable per job: strokes, good-production counter and stamped web total. Your production data is always at hand.
Sustainability
Real-time consumption split between the motor and heating. Regenerated energy is displayed. Transparent reporting via historical graphs available per job.
A single job file can instantly restore the complete machine setup. All parameters are saved, including foil pattern, register, web tension, pressure, foil tension, substrate thickness and more.
Complete job memory
Foil pattern settings, register control positions, format length, number of labels per format, stamping force and power-on time are all stored per job. Any job can be recalled from the database instantly.
Heating
The individual setpoint and actual temperature are stored for each zone and job. On repeat runs, all zone values are restored immediately, so there is no need for manual re-entry.
Designed for maximum availability and minimum downtime.
Remote support
The Pantec service team can access the HMI directly, but operator permission is required at all times. Problems can be diagnosed and resolved remotely, eliminating the need for an on-site service visit.
Architecture
All software resides in a single central module. If a drive fails, only that component needs to be replaced — there is no need for a software download or reconfiguration. It is immediately production-ready.
