These small, versatile sensors are best suited for guiding most types of clear and opaque webs. The SP-5 has a built-in 0.05” (1.27 mm) dead band for guiding webs that have uneven or ragged edges. The SP-11 and SP 12 are used to accurately guide all varieties of smooth edged webs. All are intrinsically safe, and can be used in hazardous areas where combustible gases are present.
Designed for use with Fife’s pneumohydraulic power units and control systems, the sensor bodies are constructed of black reinforced nylon, and the air supply and signal recovery inserts are made of natural nylon. The sensors are resistant to most solvents such as esters, ketones, alcohols, and hydrocarbons, as well as alkali and salt solutions. They are susceptible to phenols, formic acid, strong mineral agents, and strong oxidizing agents.
The Tidland Cyclone™ Series high speed centering shafts increase throughput by eliminating roll loping and enabling web handling operations to run smoothly at higher speeds. The external
element, two-stage pneumatic design holds the core concentric to the body, reducing machine vibration and wear.
The Cyclone Series is available in diameters ranging from 3 inch to over 20 inch.
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.
The Performance Series P5E features advanced servo controlled print station and die cutting platform design. The P5E is engineered for the converter looking to achieve productivity, extremely quick changeover and high quality levels at an appealing value.
Building on the unique print station design common to all Performance Series presses, the P5 is focused on productivity and efficiency. Its modular servo platform can be configured to support a variety of pressure sensitive and film applications.
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.
