Rotary Slitting:
The rotary slitter consists of a web feed system, a rotary cutter
module and individual take-up reels. The objective is to slit a wide
web into a number of smaller web widths where each smaller web is taken
up on one of the take up reels. The take up reels can then be
transferred to a lamination machine or other process station for
further value added operations.
Web Feed: This station consists of a web
feed with
a width up to 300 mm. The web tension is controlled by a clutch on the
reel spindle. The slitting station acts as the drive capstan to pull
the web from the feed reel.
Slitting: This station consists of a set of
rotary
cutter blades with precision spacers located on two motor driven
synchronized spindles. The maximum web width for slitting is 300 mm.
The minimum slit width is 5 mm. Precision spacers are used to control
the blade spacing. It is possible to vary the blade spacing on the
rotary cutter spindles to run smaller web widths at different positions
on the rotary cutter.
