TMSL Shear-Cut Heatseal Splicer

Automatic splicing of both spooled and flat wound rolls, designed for narrow nonwoven, film, laminate and foam webs.

• The TMSL is designed to run level wound style rolls or narrow cookie style rolls. The TMSL 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 roll over roll.
• Rolls are supported on pneumatic spindles, spindle inflation is automatic. The point guarded spindle drive assemblies utilize timing belts between spindle and drive system.
• The TMSL 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 TMSL is designed to use Martin’s standard unwind control package.
• Profitable operation of a converting process requires flexibility and optimization. The TMSL Automatic Splicer satisfies these requirements. Let Martin’s web handling experience assist you in selecting the ideal equipment for your application.
