DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINEOne ATN 0-speed splicing festoon type both
direction unwind unit operating without speed reductionThe unit is of
the automatic type, capable of accepting reels of a maximum outside
diameter of 1800 mm. Unwinding is made under constant tension. The
print can be on either side of the unwinding reel.It is composed of
the following:Two reels are centred by means of pneumatic expanding
chucks for cardboard cores with inside diameter of 300 mm. Both
stations are controlled in order to deliver a constant unwind tension
on infeed unit fills the festoon with a 4Q DC drive slaved to a
constant tension in the festoon.The festoon is fitted out with a
number of idle rollers allowing web splicing up to 200m/min. The web
festoon is filled up when the machine is running and unloads itself
during the 0-speed splicing. After the 0-speed splicing, the reel
acceleration is controlled by a 4Q DC drive which ensures the filling
up of the festoon and maintains the filled up festoon during running
at a stable position and at a constant tension. The speed
synchronisation is obtained from the main machine by a 0-10 V
analogical signal. The splicing device is mounted on a robust fixed
frame. Two independent sliding rules allow the easy-on-both-side
pasting preparation.The two tapes are applied simultaneously on both
sides in order to make a good and very precise butt splicing. The
automatic splicing cycle with oblique cut is released by push buttons,
or automatically, as follows: 1. Quick stop A5744613
of the finishing reel. 2. Locking the web entering the
festoon. 3. Locking on the finishing and the new webs
by suction boxes. 4. Oblique cut by symmetrical
guillotine knives. 5. Evacuation of the tips.
6. Simultaneous application of the two tapes by means of
oscillating arms. 7. Unlocking of the web by releasing
the nip rollers and the suction. 8. Acceleration of the
reel to fill up the festoon. 9. Tension control at the
production speed thanks to a loaded air piston and the 4Q DC drive.One
web cleaning unit with anti-static barsThis unit eliminates dust or
foreign particles on the web.It is composed of the following:
- One vacuum head made of aluminium, - Two
electrodes for ionisation ensuring elimination of static charges,
- One set of static brushes, - One dust
recuperation bag positioned on the machine drive side. The antistatic
bars are composed of an ionisation blade enclosed in a tube with
Teflon protection. They are connected to a high voltage generator
situated above the travelling web. They eliminate static, thus
improving print adherence.One automatic lateral web guide
mechanismThis unit includes the following: - One power
unit - Two head detectors - A set of
parallel rollers over which the web passes
