CMSL Shear-Cut Lap Splicer

Automatic roll changing for nonwovens, tissues and films. Continuous production and enhanced web handling for light webs.

• The CMSL Shear-Cut Automatic Splicer is designed to run cookie style rolls. The CMSL is a freestanding machine integrating all the mechanical and control systems. The design includes a steel skid which allows for quick, simple “drop in” installation.
• The machine spindles can be configured in two styles, staggered or side by side. Rolls are supported by pneumatic spindles, spindle inflation is automatic. The point guarded spindle drive assemblies utilize timing belts between spindle and drive system.
• The CMSL utilizes the MSL splice unit, a cantilevered unit housing a knife and anvil cut-off system compatible with most web materials. The MSL makes a zero speed splice, the most reliable method of joining webs, especially if webs are soft or rolls are irregular in shape. The standard MSL is completely self-contained, requiring no interlocks or additional guarding. Only compressed air and two valves are required to operate the unit.
• The splicer uses an accumulator, or festoon, to provide web to the process during the zero-speed splice sequence. The festoon features Martin’s patented inertia-compensated tension control system, providing superior control of web tension and isolating tension upsets from the process. Web tension is adjustable and accurately maintained via Martin’s pneumatic control system. The festoon incorporates a guard package that includes an interlocked access door for thread-up and maintenance.
• All controls necessary for operation are included and mounted within unwind framework. The CMSL is designed to use Martin’s standard unwind control package.
• Profitable operation of a converting process requires flexibility and optimization. The CMSL Automatic Splicer satisfies these requirements. Let Martin’s web handling experience assist you in selecting the ideal equipment for your application.
