Custom Solutions

Requirements

Copper and aluminum foil needed to be slit to size. The copper was .0005” thick and the aluminum foil was .001” thick. A 3” inside dimension roll weighed 35 lbs.

Requirements

This application included unwinding and feeding a 4.5 mil x 1 ½” wide plastic roll of tape. The material operated at speeds of 1700 inches per minute.

Material:  Absorbent pad and oxygen absorber

Requirements:

This application required cutting and placing absorbent pads into trays on a moving line, and then cutting and dispensing  desiccant into the same trays.

Material:  Multi-layered product

Requirements: 

This application required slitting a multi-layered product to the following specifications:

• 3” long
• 18” wide
• 2” or 4” slits

Material:  Plastic film in roll form

Requirements: 

This application required unwinding, slitting and cutting to length plastic film from a roll.

Our customer needed a custom slitting unit five (5) independently-controlled knives, all operated via separate switches. This unit included an output shaft and is motorized lower anvil. Unit will include switches to make each blade independent from the other.

Material:  Hook & loop and elastic in roll form

 Requirements:

 This application required one system to unwind and cut two different types of materials at different lengths.

Material:  Gauze

• Cut lengths:  3” and 5”
• Material width:  9”
• Roll ID:  3”
• Roll OD:  16”

Requirements: 

This application required unwinding gauze from a roll, and then pleating, heat sealing, and cutting it to length.

Material:  5” wide poly tubing

Requirements: 

This application required unwinding a roll of poly tubing, feeding it into a heat sealing station, and cutting the material to length.

Material:  16mm and 28mm fibrous strap material

Requirements

Unwind, feed, and cut a roll of material to 750mm, and after it was cut create stacks of 20 to 30 pieces into an indexing conveyor.  After the stack was made, the index conveyor would index into a new position and build a new stack.

Material:  ½” wide adhesive with 1” wide release liner.  A 1.5” release liner is added to the top of the material.

Requirements: 

This application required unwinding and joining two rolls of material and then cutting it to a determined length.

Material:  PTFE sheets

Requirements: 

This application required cutting hand fed PTFE sheets to length.

Material:  Polyester lamination film

• Cut length: 2” to 3”
• Material width: Maximum 70mm
• Material thickness:  .003”
• Roll ID: 3”
• Roll OD: 8”
• Roll weight: 6 pounds max

Requirements:

This application required unwinding a roll of polyester lamination film and cutting to length; eliminating static through the process.

Material: .010” x 6.25" wide thick clear plastic with a sputtered gold coating on one side which could not be in contact.

Requirements

Feed and cut to a precision length with a tolerance of +/-.015 inches.

Material:  Absorbent padding 

Requirements:

This application required cutting multiple layers of material.

Material:  Clear plastic in roll form

• Thickness:           0.010” [0.25mm]
• Width:                  6.25” [158.8mm]
• Cut Length:        11” [279.4mm]
• Tolerance:           +/- 0.015” [0.38mm]

Requirements: 

This application required punching and cutting to length a high static material.

Material:  3/8” x 3" wide pad, with sealed air between each pad. 

Requirements

Accurately feed the pads and cut an 8” piece to a registered position in between the sealed areas.  The pads needed to come out in a position to be handed to a secondary process.  Cycle requirements were 80 cuts per minute.

Material:  Material with a thickness of 0.160”

Requirements:  

This application required unwinding and feeding release liners to be affixed to the top and bottom of an extruded material.  The material needed to be cut to a determined length and then dropped onto a conveyor.

Material: 12 gram cotton.

Requirements

Feed material into machine through 10 adjustable lanes. Cut 4" lengths of the material at a speed of 100cpm.
