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.
While it wasn't the case 30 years ago, most flexible packaging printers and converters today know that by retro-fitting their web-fed machinery with direct tension-sensing and control equipment they can control their overall process better while preventing poor quality in finished roll material.
Maxcess’ MAGPOWR division has announced the launch of three new product offerings: the CSR Cantilevered Tension Sensing Roller, the ISR Integrated Sensing Roller and a larger Thin Load Cell.
