New Era to Bring Coating & Laminating Line to ICE USA

New Era Converting Machinery will be exhibiting a purpose built coating line capable of running at 500 fpm under constant, closed loop tension control. The machine can handle 50” diameter input bundles at 60” wide, laminating two materials prior to windup. Featured is a specialty coating station of modular design to allow the customer to change coating technologies in the future as their business grows.

Simplicity in Design Since 1958

Mechanical Specialties patented the first self-locking core chuck. The chucks are self-locking in either direction and self-adjusting to the web tension pull. We also make specialty and custom chucks.

Mechanical Specialties core cutter machines produce uniform, accurate cuts with clean, dust free edges. The unique design eliminates the constant replacement and resharpening of cutting knives.

We also offer custom manufacturing.

Davis-Standard’s Five-Roll Silicone Coater at ICE USA

Davis-Standard’s converting technology and support services will be promoted at this year’s ICE USA, booth #411. Experts will be on hand to discuss current technology, including the company’s five-roll silicone coater. The coater is capable of applying 100 percent silicone at rates up to 2400 fpm (732 mpm). This coater is constructed of stainless steel for ease of cleanup and includes a mist removal system.

Polytec’s LSV Laser Surface Velocimeter – The Non-Contact Encoder

Improved Yield, Quality and Throughput starts with precise measurements. Accuracy and reliability make the LSV the perfect solution where precise, real-time length and speed measurements are critical. Measure the length of incoming and outgoing reels with confidence. Improve quality with direct measurement of web stretch/elongation. Reduce maintenance and downtime with speed matching in splicing operations. Achieve these goals with an excellent ROI by replacing less accurate or unreliable contact technologies with Polytec’s LSV – the non-contact encoder!

Solutions Start with SAM

SAM is a world leader in the manufacture of converting and web fed printing machinery. SAM’s Solution Coating Lab is designed for customer product development trials and solution coating research. The lab offers 35 coating methods for various coating fluids and unique product conditions. Trials include high speed automatic unwinding and winding to 1,000 mpm, thin film micro-gravure coating, solvent based coatings of high tech materials, slot die coatings, and evaluations of flotation and roll support drying techniques.

The Only Rotary Die Cutting Machine using CCD Registration System!

Sysco Machinery’s Rotary Die Cutting Systems are the only machines on the market to use CCD Camera in conjunction with motion control system to achieve the tightest tolerances at the highest speeds on the market. Come learn how you can skip every other tags or labels and change the pitch all via software!

Thanks to this technology you can have dies that have a smaller pitch than the part or you can use multiple dies for one long part instead of using one large radius die. These are just some of the new possibilities that we can offer!
