The slitter is engineered to meet the rigors of high-volume production while delivering accurate web widths from an array of rolls. The core design includes servo-driven unwind & rewind modules; a highly accurate slitter knife assembly; and a modern control system that holds multiple job recipes. Operators can change slit widths, margins and spacing from an easy-to-use graphical display; and the tension profiles are automatically adjusted for different fabric thicknesses and types of finishes.
The slitter accommodates a variety of blade configurations including rotary, razor, or shear; and can handle different slit geometries including equal lane and staggered lane slits. The built-in web guiding system, edge sensor, and dancer roller assembly is designed to maintain proper tension and alignment, enabling fast start-ups and minimizing slippage. In compliance with international labour organization safe working conditions guidelines, the slitter also has emergency stop buttons, interlocks and covers. The slitter can feed directly to a dyeing, printing or finishing line; as well as be synchronized with the line's speed control system; and transfer data back to the plant MES system.
