i-Web Puts the Finishing Touches on Modular Web Finishing Systems for Commercial Printing

These machines don’t print money, but they do save money
After making the move toward EtherCAT as the all-in-one motion, I/O and safety bus, i-Web still managed to meet the six month deadline and delivered the first of its next generation finishing systems to the customer on-time, with all the expected performance upgrades and hot-connect flexibility. “Today, i-Web utilizes Beckhoff components and controls in every piece of equipment we manufacture, across the board,” Williams noted. “With a technology partnership of six years that is still going strong, over 250 i-Web systems in the field and in development are EtherCAT-enabled and equipped with a Beckhoff controls architecture.”
