800mm wide Slitting & 8 Position Computerized Smartwinder-XL System

May 7, 2010 - PRLog -- 800mm wide  SLITTING & 8 POSITION COMPUTERIZED SMARTWINDER-XL SYSTEM Moves the traversing spool under the stationary input of the slit strand

Independent Machine Co. of Fairfield, NJ has developed an advanced converting system for  slitting and traverse winding tension sensitive nonwoven materials  wound into 32” wide x 48”OD spools of extremely long length. The Smartwinder - XL spooling modules move the spool under the fixed input of  the slit to enable wide width material to easily move from slitting to the spool without lateral movement.

The driven unwind accommodates 2 meter diameter supply rolls and includes a ramped “kitchen” area where an additional waiting roll is staged. Upon expiration of the running roll, the next roll and shaft are rolled into place and the shaft is pneumatically secured in the running positions. The programmable impulse heat seal with hold down clamps  enables the supply rolls  to be butt spliced.

The main speed reference slitting station includes entry  nd exit “S” wrap pull rolls with an interchangeable shear section between them.  A fixed position spreader roll located prior to slitting eliminates wrinkles.

Each of the (4) 2-Position cantilevered Smartwinder-XL traverse winding positions has a microprocessor-based traverse assembly that provides programmable winding patterns   for  pitch, stroke length, end dwell and winding pattern by laterally moving the spool  through Smartwinders software.

Precise programmable rewind tension at each position accurate to within 7 grams is  controlled by a closed loop follower drive system through the exclusive IMC Dancer/Tension Controller with a 25:1 tension range.  The operator Touchscreen has recipe storage capability for all winding operating parameters and machine Panelview Touchscreen.
