We sat down and discussed Web Guiding & Tension Control with Mark Breen from Dover Flexo Electronics, Jerry Leonards from Erhardt+Leimer, Inc., and Shomari Head from Fife Guiding(Maxcess).
The Dover Flexo Electronics SteadyWeb6 Tension Controller combines a full-featured, automatic, closed-loop tension control unit with an intuitive user interface for the web process industries.
AZCO Corp. has designed and manufactured a VIP-100 pouch dispenser for an application which required cutting and dispensing sachets or pouches into containers at a rate of 250 to 295 per minute.
Flexible Packaging recently caught up Mark Breen, marketing manager at Dover Flexo Electronics (DFE), to chat about new innovations in tension control, when (and why) to upgrade equipment and more.
Typically, the catalyst that leads a converting production team to upgrade their tension-management or web-guiding equipment, or even to install new components for the first time, will be quality problems that are obvious in the finished roll or material.
Maxcess will showcase industry-leading technology at Labelexpo from September 25-27. The three-day event will feature the latest product offerings from Fife, Tidland, MAGPOWR, Webex, Valley Roller, Menges Roller and Componex.
Maxcess’ MAGPOWR division has released three new tension amplifiers with advanced networking capabilities: the DLCA NET, DLCA NET-Slim and DLCA NET-IP65.
We recently caught up with Tim Roddy, Erhardt + Leimer’s technical sales manager, who discussed the most problematic of the three tension zones, the value proposition of tension control equipment and future industry trends.
Accurate tension measurement and control can go a long way toward reducing the negative effects of process deviations on printed and converted materials in a continuous web process, particularly in cases where flexible, extensible substrates are being run.
