Electrical Raise and Lower of Mother Roll

Some of these are optional and standard; please ask your sales representative on the machine specifications for your region.

Shaftless Unwind

Electrically positioned unwind arms with independent or pair control. The Unwind will operate in both directions i.e. over and under web lead. As an option the unit can be supplied with electric raise and lower. Shaftless unwind.  

Unwind Tension Control Pneumatic Brake

A pneumatically controlled brake system is used to control the desired tension in the unwinding web.        

Tensions stored in recipe for simple reset.  

AC Motor Servo Driven

The Unwind chuck is driven using a AC servo motor utilising a load cell feedback to create the desired web tension.

This allows

• Fast acceleration and deceleration positively driving

• Reduces possibility of web elongation

• Exact tension control

• Ability to control web tension even with extendable materials            

Unwind Regenerative Braking

During running the unwind motor functions as a brake, tensioning the material and generates energy. This energy is transferred by the unwind drive to the DC bus and used by the rewind motor to drive the material.  

Fixed Height Unwind

The unwind beam is mounted in a fixed position providing the operator the opportunity to utilise existing roll lifting equipment available to them. Utilise existing roll lifting equipment  

Electric Pick Up from Floor

Splice Table with Individual Vacuum and Web Clamps

This splice table is mounted on the Unwind stand over the roll for the ease of operation.

For the loading or unloading of a roll the whole splice table arrangement can be manually lifted to gain clear access.

The splice table allows full width splices to take place in a horizontal plane at 90deg to the web direction.

The operator performs a manual ‘cut-off’ using the splice table steel cutting grooves. 

The splice table is supplied with a dual chamber vacuum feature which enables webs to be held throughout the splicing procedure without moving providing for a much more accurate join.  

• Ergonomic position for operator

• Precise cutting using machined steel slots

• Reduces waste

Digital Positioning of Knives 

This device allows operators to change knife positions quickly and accurately by providing actual repeatable position indication of the knives. The device consists of a linear slide assembly that has a digital measuring and display device. For rotary knives the unit has a pointer which will interface with the female knife position .

The digital device will be place on the first female knife (datum) and reset to zero, then the device will be moved (by hand) to the required slit width and the female knife positioned. The digital readout will again be set to zero and the next knife set etc. The same process is made when positioning Razor holders

• Accurate repeatable positioning

• Allows faster slit width changes

• Reduces potential operator errors causing re-starts

Lockable Knives

The 25mm (1”) or 50mm (2”) or 50mm (2”) female knives are positioned to suit the slitting width and to support the web then individually locked into position. Often used in conjunction with Digital knife positioning system.

• No spacers required allowing fast slit width setting

• Can be used with digital positioning system

Selection of Slitting Knife Configurations

New Combination male knives (Shaftless) system allow fast changing and adapting to different needs.

Set up can include:

• Razor In Air

• Slitting In Groove

• Shear Slitting

• Fast Set up and Change Over

• Digital Positioning Option

Rear HDI Control Panel

Fully Integrated Symbol based Operating System -

Ability to run the machine from both front and back

The new control system utilizes a flat touch screen terminal providing simple operation with the use of symbols (not language sensitive). the screen provides input for the most frequently used functions such as machine speed,

Tensions ranges, lay-on pressures, length and diameters, etc. once desired parameters are set, this information

Can be saved in a 'material file' and can be recalled at any time for fully automatic setting of the running parameters.

The operator can make a new 'material file' for each product run and a 'job file' for every customer which saves significant time for setting the parameters to run the machine.

Repeat job memory for fast run set up

Ergonomic screens at both front rewind and rear unwind

Intuitive diagnostics

Embedded operator manuals and technical data

Remote access and technical support via Atlas Gateway

Fault Detection Camera Adjustment

This magnetic mounted camera allows the operator to view the Unwind roll during production from the HMI screen at the rewind station. This allows them to view any ‘Flags’ indicating print faults coming in time to take action. The camera can be mounted on either side of the unwind depending upon where the ‘flags’ are situated.

• Reduces waste & returns by ensuring operators can see the flag approaching and stop machine in time

• Ensures a visual guide to the edge of the roll at all times around the machine at the HMI

Individual laser alignments can be set as low as 25mm

• Allows fast, accurate set up of cores

• Minimise set up time

• Simple set up

• Eliminates the possibility of core misplacement causing re-starts of machine

ER610-DT Dual Turret Winding Module with Cross Cut

The machine has four rewind shafts for high productivity, each turret containing two rewind shafts. the turrets are of cantilevered design eliminating the need for centre cross shafts.

The winding takes place on two rewind shafts whilst the other two shafts can be loaded with cores enabling a fast changeover on completion of winding.

The operator can set the mode either to:

MANUAL MODE

At the completion of the winding cycle, the machine stops, and the operator must press a button to start the splicing cycle

AUTOMATIC MODE

At the completion of the winding cycle, the machine slows down and automatically starts the splice cycle

Rewind support and turret index cycle

All rewind shafts are fully supported during turret rotation (prevents twisting and deflection to the shafts)

Industry leading low cycle time with less than 15 seconds to cycle turret for roll replacement.
