The C610B versatile duplex-cantilevered slitter's innovative rewind technology uses roll-lock differential air shafts and servo-actuated lay-on rollers to deliver the ability to rewind even the most difficult light-gauge films and complex laminates. It can be operated in a “minimum gap mode” for adhesives or cold seals, and there is a dedicated narrow-width option for narrow-web rewind applications.

The Gold Series knifeholder can make slits as small as 2 in. into weights up to 800 gsm at speeds up to 5,000 fpm. It features a calibrated depth knob for precise blade-anvil overlap and tool-free cant angle adjustment. These characteristics reduce dust, increase blade life, ensure maximum spatial nip-point stability and increase the quality of the cut.

The VSR inspection rewinder features a wide-open concept to easily see the unwind and rewind rolls while inspecting. The proximity of the slitter cartridge to the rewind and the use of separator rings ensure effective winding of narrow slit webs, co. says. The addition of capacitive sensors and a razor slitter make the machine ideal for inspecting clear-on-clear labels.
