The SE-38 First*Edge Sensor is an all-digital web sensor specifically designed or materials with varying opacities. Such voids, common with spun bond and loosely woven materials, are often difficult to detect with typical Infrared sensors, and nearly impossible to detect with air or ultrasound.
With its unique 180º foldback prism, the SE-38 is capable of detecting the first edge of a web and then ignoring any and all subsequent variations. It has a standard sensing gap of 50.8 mm (2 inches) and a control range of 43.2 mm (1.7 inches) delivering precise, versatile control for single-edge or center guiding 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.
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.
This narrow web shaft’s three-leaf design minimizes thin wall core deformation and improves roll quality. For rewinds, special centering ribs in-between expanding leaves position cores closer to the center of rotation, resulting in better-quality finished rolls.
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.
