Small, yet accurate, the SE-15 Visible Light Sensor is perfect for web applications where exact guiding is required and space is limited. With a control range of 10.2 mm (0.4 inch), this compact, lightweight sensor is best suited for edge guiding opaque, transparent, or reflective materials in most unwind and rewind applications.
This medium-gap reflex sensor utilizes a reflector mounted on the opposite side of the web and a co-axis optical visible red light for transmitted and received light beams. The effective gap between reflector and sensor can range from 25 mm (1 inch) up to 1 meter (39 inches). The sensor light signal is processed to filter out ambient and reflected light to provide reliable and accurate performance.
Feather Light. Intense Grip. Incredibly Durable. Tidland’s Force5 air chuck offers the lightweight alternative to aluminum chucks at the lowest cost in the market. The Force5 can also take abuse in the toughest environments. The specially engineered polymer expanding element is not only designed for high durability in extreme conditions, but retains its shape over time for ease of insertion and removal. The Force5 are the lightest weight air chucks available and have the greatest gripping force with improved gripping during e-stop & high-torque applications. Paired with Tidland’s Ultrashaft carbon fiber air shafts or mandrels, you can safely change rolls from 76 mm (3 inch) to 152 mm (6 inch) ID cores.
Tidland’s Raptor Series Air Powered Lug Chucks are easy to use and maintain and help eliminate the core damage usually associated with shaftless applications. The Air Powered Lug Chuck is ideal for high-speed printing, laminating, sheeting applications on unwind flying or zero speed splicers and other shaftless unwind/rewind applications. Unlike other chucks, Tidland’s Raptor Series Air Powered Chucks offer on-machine maintenance and toolless adapter changes from 76.2 mm (3 inch) to 305 mm (12 inch) cores in less than 5 seconds.
With Tidland’s Equalizer Model D3 Differential Air Shaft, operators can run a variety of different roll widths with adjustable pressure all along the length at the same time. The Equalizer D3 is guaranteed to provide core positioning with adjustable air pressure without spacers or core stop setup. It’s designed for duplex center or surface winders for multiple roll tension equalization. When not covered by the core, tension elements mechanically lock in place to secure core position through the entire run. The D3 requires no tools for core stops, no core stop positioning. Use these air shafts and say “No” to tools, spacers, core shifts and waiting for core position setup.
Tidland’s Narrow Web Shafts were created specifically to meet the needs of narrow-web converters. These economical shafts are designed to fit any press — with cantilevered, drop-in, flange, and bar mounting styles available.
