Non-stop Butt Unwinding Paper Splicing

Efficiency Through Automation and Ergonomic Design The rewinding unwinding and splicing FL650–FL2550 series revolutionizes web handling with its combination of advanced automation and operator-friendly features. With its zero-speed butt splice method using head-to-head tape bonding, the system avoids common issues such as crushing paper or tape buildup—particularly in resin-based flexographic processes . Its festoon buffer absorbs web slack so the downstream line continues running during splice events, preserving web tension and alignment via servo-driven dancers and edge-control modules for the printing machine and the laminating machine. From an operator’s standpoint, ergonomics and convenience are foundational. Roll loading is simplified through pneumatic or cantilever arms rather than cranes; splicing setup only takes a couple of minutes with visual laser alignment support; and the entire detection and splicing sequence is executed automatically via sensors and PLC control—no manu…
