Environmentally Friendly Slitter
Atlas Converting Equipment Ltd. will demonstrate its 1650 mm (65˝) wide Titan ER610, a twin-shaft cantilever slitter that is an environmentally friendly slitting and rewinding solution. With a simple design enabling quick and easy installation, the ER610 has extended the Titan portfolio of slitter/rewinders by addressing the needs of converters processing lower volumes of flexible materials. The Titan ER610 slitter can process a wide range of substrates.—www.atlasconverting.com
Web Control Products
The Montalvo Corporation will showcase its new DPS-1 Dancer Position Sensor used on rider arms, dancers, accumulators, multi-pass dancers, and a large range of other tilt applications. Other new products and services will include the RE-4 Range Expander, information on ways to accurately control variable web wrap angles, and brand-new digital amplifiers and controllers.—www.montalvo.com
Static System Monitor
Meech International will use ICE USA to launch the 904CM monitoring unit for its AC ionizing systems into the American market. The 904CM system is straightforward to fit and operate, and provides accurate monitoring of the performance of the emitter pins incorporated within the ionizing bars. The system consists of a power unit and monitor. The amber and red LEDs have adjustable percentage trigger points that can be set by the customer, while the analog output allows the output of the bars to be monitored off-line and the data logged for future analysis.—www.meech.com
Non-contact Laser Encoder
Beta LaserMike will demonstrate the advantages of its LaserSpeed encoder over contact-type measurement methods for converting applications. The LaserSpeed system uses advanced, laser-based technology to precisely measure the length and speed of product during production without making contact with the moving material. Length and speed measurements are captured with better than ±0.05 percent accuracy.—www.laserspeedgauge.com
Web Measurement
Advanced Photonix, Inc. (API) has introduced its on-line industrial time-domain terahertz system for web measurement. According to API, the Picometrix T-Ray 4000 is the first web measurement system for the converting/package printing marketplace to feature pulsed terahertz technology. It is a non-nucleonic, non-ionizing, non-contact measurement solution that combines basis weight, percent moisture, caliper thickness, and multilayer thickness measurements into one ultra-fast multifunction sensor. In addition, the T-Ray system has a single-sided measurement format and can detect delamination and sense adhesion degradation.— www.advancedphotonix.com
