EdgeMaster™ II - SWiM®

EdgeMaster II Slitter Tooling Software eliminates the variables encountered in slitter tooling when using shims, but what about variables within the slitting line or inherent in the material that can affect slit width dimensions? 

To compensate for slitting line and material variables, ASKO developed Slit Width Management, SWiM (U.S. Patent No. 5,574,890), an easy-to-use decision support tool that is part of the EdgeMaster II suite. 

SWiM is the only software that replaces guesswork with a powerful computer database that records actual slitting experience. By using that experience, SWiM helps operators overcome slitting line variables to achieve maximum slit width accuracy and consistency. Recommendations become incredibly precise, and the continuous improvement feature is automatically customized to your operating conditions.

How SWiM® works

Following the completion of each setup, the slitter line operators enter the actual slit width into SWiM. When a new setup is entered, SWiM will suggest an adjustment amount based on past slit width experiences that are similar to the entered setup. The operators then have the option to accept the SWiM recommendation or to ignore it and use the entered size.

Record the actual widths into the SWiM program...

...and EdgeMaster will improve all of the setups that follow.
