ITW Labels Boosts Production with Martin Butt Splicers

The third and most recent MBS butt splicer was installed on a diecutting press, and the fourth will go on another flexo line. Gold expects to retrofit the remainder of his presses with butt splicers later this year.

The Martin MBS system includes an inertia compensated festoon, a patented splice unit to make non-overlapping butt splices, and two cantilevered unwind positions with Martin’s lift-and-load roll loading system. All controls for these components are mounted within the equipment, allowing automatic unwinding, splicing, and tension control.
