Spreader Roll System

The guide roll before the slitter station with the
segments arranged in an arc shape introduces shear forces into the web and tensions it in order to perform a clean cut

The spreader roll is also arranged in an arc

shape to assure a good web separation. The spreader rolls are also vertically punctually adjustable to amplify the spreading if necessary due to possible profile or moisture fluctuations.

The adjustment valves are positioned at the

Spreader roll

safety guard for change during operation.

Automatic Slitter Station - TruSet

Fully automatic slitter positioning system using two
endless belts for the Top- and Bottom slitters

Three point pneumatic cylinder for positioning and

fixing of Top- and Bottom slitters

Positioning of all Top- and Bottom slitters

simultaneously in approx. 15-20 sec - Format change speed 35 mm/s to reach rough position - Fine tuning time to enable Position reached 13 s

Automatic Slitter Positioning

VariFit | 03.05.2012 13

Automatic Slitter Station - TruSet

Mechanical accuracy +/- 0.25 mm with MT
magnetic rods

No mechanical connection between top- and

bottom slitters - makes it possible to perform format changes although the web is feeded

Power supply with sliding contacts,

Bus connection and low voltage supply (24 V)

with spiral cables

Automatic Slitter Positioning

Rewind - Rider roll

Stiff design of rider roll crossbeam The line load (or load release) is made
by the hydraulic cylinder

Cross shaft with cog wheels for

synchronous movement Gear rack on both sides

Rewind - Core guidance

The core chucks are axially guided and tensioned by an electro motor
-The axial adjustment is 300 mm per side The core chucks are vertically guided by hydraulic cylinders -This means that the chuck is weigh compensated and no vertical forces act on the core edges

Rewind Roll ejector

The ejector beam is pivoted around the
first winder drum. The movment is carried out hydraulically

A machine wide segmented roll is

installed on the ejector beam to perform the web separation and the end gluing

Max loadable core outer diameter is

185 mm

Minimal roll diameter to be ejected is

500mm

Automatic Roll Set Change

Fast and reliable roll set change The innovative roll set change combines web perforation
with the hot melt technology in one process step

The start- and end gluing is applied from the coated

application roll simultaneously as the web is being perforated for the roll set change. The process step is performed at the end of the deceleration phase

This eliminates the separate web separation with a

severing pan at zero speed

Simplified tail threading using Voith Tail Threading
