Tidland Unveils New Slitting System at CMM

ROSEMONT, Ill.—Tidland Corporation—a Maxcess International company that designs and engineers slitting and winding products for the web handling industry—unveiled its new e-knifeholder at CMM 2007. The new Tidland Slitter is an automated slitter positioning system with fewer moving parts to reduce the frequency and complexity of maintenance, and the latest technology to increase speed and accuracy of knife positioning.

The system is a result of an effort to combine extensive engineering experience and the latest slitting technology in response to growing customer requests. Seeking an affordable way to slit materials while retaining the highest accuracy, Tidland Engineers have incorporated the latest technology to increase the speed, accuracy, and reliability of current slitting systems.

“The new Tidland Slitter is simple, yet exceeds the output of existing systems” said Peter Wood, product manager for Tidland Slitting. “The result is an affordable slitter that represents a major leap forward for converters.”
