Ishida WM-Ai Automatic Wrapper

Ishida’s versatile, PC-based WM-Ai automatic wrapper delivers space-saving efficiency and high-speed performance — all with the ability to weigh, wrap and label up to 35 packages per minute. The WM-Ai’s unique front-loading storage takes 2 rolls of film on one side of the machine to reduce overall floor space and optimize production flow. The user-friendly, large, colour touchscreen makes operation simple, and sanitation guidelines are effortlessly maintained with easy-access to cleaning in, around and under the unit.

A CCD camera automatically identifies the tray when placed on the infeed conveyor. Wrapping and labelling parameters as well as tare weight are then set automatically. The centering conveyor corrects off-center tray placement, resulting in a perfectly wrapped package every time.

The WM-Ai is a flexible wrapping system designed to meet each customer’s individual requirements. Toggling between standard operation and optional functions is made simple with the 12.1-inch LCD colour touchscreen. Operational ease is further enhanced with many automated functions designed into the system— from film selection to tray centering to robotic label application and more.

The unique robotic applicator design means that labels can be applied on the tray in any location (top, bottom, left or right) and in either direction (standard or rotated). The applicator is designed to provide delicate and reliable labelling using a built-in sensor that detects contact pressure with the tray. Labels are consistently applied accurately and straight on all products without damaging packaging or contents.
