Martin Automatic Installs New Splicer, Rewinder at FTS

The MBSC shares many features and capabilities with Martin’s MBS splicer, including the same patented rolling-shear splice unit, lift-and-load roll loading from the aisle, automatic roll sidelay to insure that webs are aligned at the splice, and inertia-compensated festoon. Rittmeyer notes that the MBSC has been specifically designed for narrower web-widths up to 13 inches (330 mm) and smaller roll diameters up to 31.5 inches (800 mm).
