Automatic Retrofit for Muller Ultrasonic Slitting Machines
LXF-15MA is an independent retrofit system for Muller machines; Muller is a trademark of its owner.
Still Adjusting the Cutting Knives on Your Muller Ultrasonic Slitting Machine?
If so, you're not alone. The LXF-15MA is an automatic retrofit for existing Muller ultrasonic slitting machines. It adds a vision system and an automatic control system that find the slitting lines and move the blades for you. It is not a new machine. It upgrades the Muller machine you already have.
Does This Sound Like Your Line?
If you run a Muller ultrasonic slitting machine, you probably know this problem. The woven tape width can change slightly during weaving. The selvedge moves a little. The cut position drifts. The operator has to keep readjusting the knives to keep the slit in the right place.
One customer described it like this:
"One issue we currently have with our Müller ultrasonic cutting machines is the positioning of the cutting knives. During weaving, the tapes can have small variations in width, so the selvedge position can shift slightly. Because of that, the operator needs to constantly readjust the knives to keep the cut in the correct position."
Does this sound familiar?
- Are you adjusting the knives again and again during the shift?
- Does the strip width change from roll to roll?
- Does production depend on one experienced operator?
- Do you lose speed and material when the cut position is wrong?
- Is changeover slow when the next roll has a different width?
If you answered yes to any of these, the LXF-15MA retrofit is made for your machine.
What If the Machine Could Find the Slitting Line Itself?
That is what the retrofit does. The vision system reads the slitting lines. The control system moves the blades to the correct position automatically. The operator loads the roll and starts the machine. There is no constant manual knife adjustment.
We modify part of the Muller machine structure and add our automatic control system: computer, touch screen, control system, and software, plus the vision system. The existing Muller slitting platform stays as the base.
What Results Can You Expect?
- About twice the speed of the same machine before the retrofit.
- Close to zero waste in production.
- More consistent strip width.
- A cleaner, more stable cut edge.
- Less dependence on an experienced knife operator; everyone can run it easily.
- Less operator fatigue.
- Faster changeover, about 1–5 minutes.
These results are based on actual customer production. The final speed and waste level depend on the material, width, machine condition, and production settings.
Will It Fit Your Machine?
The retrofit is for Muller ultrasonic slitting machines, both vertical and horizontal types. We do not confirm compatibility from the model name alone. Send clear photos of the machine, the cutting head, and the nameplate. We will review the machine and confirm whether the retrofit can be installed.

How Is It Installed?
Our technician comes to your factory to modify part of the Muller machine and install the automatic control system.
- Installation time: about 1 day per machine
- Training time: about 3-7 days

- Travel and scheduling: confirmed before the retrofit
This is not a plug-and-play kit. Your existing Muller machine must be checked before installation.
Who Is This Retrofit For?
- Woven label factories already running Muller ultrasonic slitting machines
- Factories that want more output without buying a completely new Muller slitting machine
- Producers who want to reduce manual knife adjustment and operator dependence
- Owners of Muller vertical or horizontal slitting machines who want to upgrade the existing machines.
If you do not have a Muller machine and want a fully automatic slitting machine, see our fully automatic woven label slitting machine instead.
Photos and Video
Photos and videos of the retrofit are available on request. Send us photos of your Muller machine and its nameplate, and we will send the relevant photos and video.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the LXF-15MA a new slitting machine?
A: No. It is a retrofit system for an existing Muller ultrasonic slitting machine. It modifies part of the Muller structure and adds our automatic control system.
Q: Which Muller machines can be retrofitted?
A: Muller vertical and horizontal ultrasonic slitting machines. The exact model must be confirmed from photos of your machine.
Q: Will the operator still need to adjust the knives?
A: No. The vision system reads the slitting lines and the control system moves the blades automatically. There is no constant manual knife adjustment.
Q: How much faster is the retrofitted machine?
A: In actual customer production, the retrofitted machine runs at about twice the speed of the same machine before the retrofit. The final result depends on the material, width, and machine condition.
Q: Is the waste really close to zero?
A: Customers report close to zero waste after the retrofit. The final waste level depends on the material, machine condition, and production settings. We do not guarantee zero waste for every job.
Q: What is included in the retrofit?
A: Computer, touch screen, control system and software, vision system, retrofit hardware and installation on your existing Muller machine.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: About 1 day per machine, plus about 7 days of training. Installation and training labor are charged separately.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: 1 year.
Q: What is the minimum blade spacing and accuracy?
A: Minimum blade spacing is 8 mm; blade positioning accuracy is 0.2–0.5 mm.
Q: Can you send photos and video?
A: Yes. Send your Muller machine photos and model information; we will send the retrofit photos and before/after video.
Send clear photos of your Muller ultrasonic slitting machine, the cutting head, and the nameplate, plus your material, width, and target output. We will confirm the retrofit compatibility, installation schedule, and quote the LXF-15MA retrofit with installation and training.
