The new Spyder Plus S1 tension controller has all the existing features of the Spyder Plus controller, while adding an additional input for roll diameter. This input allows for additional powerful features normally reserved for our highest end controllers.
By referencing the actual measured diameter on this new input, this DIN rail mounted low-cost controller now includes very precise taper tension, hold level change options and inertia compensation options in load cell and dancer modes. In addition, gain compensation in dancer mode allows for a stable dancer from full roll to core, regardless of roll-build ratio.
Like the Spyder Plus, the Spyder Plus S1 is a controller that can be configured as an open loop, closed loop load cell or closed loop dancer modes, providing accurate, reliable control by providing feedback to clutches and brakes, or interfacing directly with drives in unwind, rewind or point-to-point applications.
Built in Modbus TCP communications provide the ability to easily interface and share data with an existing PLC, remote PC, HMI or web browser, allowing for remote set point adjustment to further improve efficiency, especially when multiple controls are used in the same process.

A digital label press designed to free up capacity on high output flexo presses, and bring greater efficiency to fast turnaround work. Built specifically for short run prime labels, Mark Andy Digital One makes digital printing more accessible to narrow-web converters.
Years of successful roll control in the field testify to the excellent performance of the Leaf Shaft. Designed for a wide range of converting applications, these shafts are best for the elimination of thin wall core deformation. The 360º radial expanding grip along the entire leaf face delivers more winding surface and allows for the winding of single or multiple rolls, with or without cores.
With smooth, polished external leaves, these shafts are particularly suited for delicate materials. Leaf Shafts are built tough, with bodies constructed of standard steel, alloy steel or aluminum, and internal tubes made of durable, hard-wearing rubber. Simple modular construction and standardized components mean quick off-the-shelf spares service and easy in-plant maintenance when necessary.
Series 650 Leaf Shaft – designed for light to medium-duty in 2 inch to 6 inch (50.8 mm to 152.4 mm) ID cores, as well as in coreless operations. The versatility of this shaft has made it the most popular and widely used leaf shaft on the market today.
Series 750 Leaf Shaft – designed for heavy-duty in 7 inch to 24 inch (177.8 mm to 609.6 mm) ID cores, as well as in coreless operations. The largest diameter leaf shaft available, this shaft is excellent for tougher jobs such as winding metal and foil strips. It can also be used as a reel spool for Paper reels and large paper machines
Inexpensive and effective, Tidland’s Automatic Lug Chuck is designed specifically to meet the needs of narrow-web converters. This chuck features spring-loaded, torque activated expanding lugs for economical die cut and trim removal in narrow web applications.
Strong and versatile, Tidland Lug Shafts deliver superior performance in the widest range of converting applications. Unmatched for positive holding power, the lug-style design eliminates core damage, prevents roll slip through fast startups and shutdowns, and minimizes vibration at high web speeds. Simple modular construction and standardized components mean quick off-the-shelf spares service and easy in-plant maintenance when necessary.
Series 500 Lug Shaft – Air
The Series 500 Lug Shaft is designed for light- to heavy-duty applications in 50.8 mm (2 inch) to 152.4 mm (6 inch) ID cores; often used in center unwind and rewind applications with either fiber or steel cores. These reliable shafts are constructed of alloy steel, aluminum, or lightweight, composite materials – depending on usage and requirements.
Series 550 Lug Shaft – Mechanical
The Series 550 Lug Shaft is designed for medium- to heavy-duty in 76.2 mm (3 inch) ID cores; often used in center unwind and rewind applications with either fiber or steel cores. The shaft body is constructed of 4150 heat treated steel or lightweight, composite materials. Each shaft is built to order and has as much as 85% fewer moving parts than other mechanical shafts.
