Non-stop Butt Unwinding Paper Splicing

Efficiency Through Automation and Ergonomic Design The 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. 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 manual splice alignment required. The system can handle a broad range of substrates, from…
