Overview of ribbon slitting machine
Ribbon slitting machine is a kind of equipment specially designed to accurately slitify wide ribbons (thermal transfer ribbons) according to specific width requirements. As a key equipment in the label printing and packaging industry, it plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring the efficiency and quality of ribbons.
Core features:
1. High-precision slitting system
• Driven by servo motor, the slitting accuracy can reach ±0.1mm
• Digital tension control system to ensure stable slitting process
• Laser diameter measuring device monitors the ribbon width in real time
2. Versatile adaptability
• Handles a wide range of ribbon types such as wax-based, hybrid-based, and resin-based
• Adapt to the slitting needs of different core diameters (1 inch, 0.5 inch, etc.).
• It can be configured with a variety of tool systems to meet different slitting requirements
3. Intelligent control system
• PLC+touch screen control, digital parameter setting
• Automatic web correction system to prevent ribbon misalignment
• Production data statistics and storage function
Detailed explanation of how it works
1. Unwinding system: The raw material coil is fixed by the inflatable shaft, and the unwinding tension is controlled by the magnetic powder brake
2. Guiding system: Multiple sets of guide rollers ensure the smooth operation of the ribbon
3. Slitting system: round knife or razor cutting, accurate slitting according to the set width
4. Winding system: independent motor drives each winding shaft to ensure neat winding
5. Detection system: real-time monitoring of slitting quality, automatic alarm when defects are found
