Radebeul based Papierverarbeitung Peters GmbH has retrofitted a Martin Automatic MBX unwind/splicer to its Omet VaryFlex 670 press to improve efficiency and reduce waste on its paper cup printing line.

NC: What are the basic issues that cause the problem? GR: Printers and converters know that controlling tension in a web is essential to the quality of the finished product. Web tension problems can arise from several issues with the unwinding roll. These include deceleration, the action of splicing and acceleration of a new roll. Out-of-round or unbalanced rolls also cause tension disturbances, even during steady state unwinding.

The MBS is now available with a laser assist package to help the operator position the second-side tape with greater accuracy.
