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.
Mark I Roll Saver Adapters
These adapters are available in three sizes and may be used in combination with the Mark I Roll Saver to restore 101.6 mm (4 inch), 127 mm (5 inch), 152.4 mm (6 inch) and 171.5 mm (6 3/4 inch) crushed cores.
Mark I Roll Saver Sledge Weight
The Sledge Weight is a useful tool for driving the Mark I Roll Saver into difficult cores. It’s better, simpler, and safer than any type of sledgehammer 9 kg (20 lb) weight.
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.
The Ultra-Lightweight GX Air Shaft is made with lightweight, high-strength aluminum and an innovative 2-piece expanding element. It delivers unmatched performance in many unwind and rewind applications. Operators’ backs will be saved as this shaft is one of the leading ergonomic solutions for converting applications and has helped many converters reduce or eliminate workers’ compensation claims due to overexertion and heavy lifting.
GX shafts are available to suit a large variety of core sizes and are part of Tidland’s complete line of ergonomic solutions for converters, which includes the ever-popular Force5 Air Chuck and Ultrashaft Carbon Fiber Air Shaft.
Series 800 shafts feature innovative two-piece expanding elements, which deliver an impressive combination of balance and torque. These advanced shafts also feature self retraction, durable poly bladder, and a fail-safe multi-circuit air system, with check valves to ensure that a loss of air in one element will not affect the expansion and performance of the other elements.
The Series 800 Strip Shaft is designed for medium- to heavy-duty in 76.2 mm (3 inch) to 508 mm (20 inch) ID cores. This shaft’s full-length strip design delivers excellent torque characteristics, making it ideal for general duty unwind and rewind applications.
