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.
D490 Differential Shafts hold rolls straight and true. Interchangeable cartridges allow you to determine how the shaft engages the core to best suit the material and core you’re running. Choose from a heavy gauge wire spring design (D490S) for fiber cores, or a 2-row, 12-ball, torque activated design (D490B) for fiber or PVC cores.
The result is improved finished roll quality, reduced scrap and fast, easy setups for even the most sensitive materials. Because D490 Differential Shafts are manufactured in North America, Europe and China, they are easily sourced and supported worldwide. All components conform to Tidland’s high quality standards and are interchangeable regardless of where the shaft is installed.
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.
Tidland’s Air Brakes deliver reliable continuous tension control for a wide variety of applications. These single rotor, high output brakes feature a unique convection design for dissipating heat resulting in superior performance and prolonged pad life with models capable of handling a maximum torque range of 1,430 lb-in to 23,700 lb-in.
These Air Brakes are durable construction for your most demanding braking needs and can be custom configured for your exact tension and braking needs, whether that be delicate tissue, heavy-weight liner board, textile, film or foils.
