| Advanced Composite Slitting & Smartwinder-2000 Traverse Winding System |
|||
| Independent Machine Co. of Fairfield, NJ has developed its latest system for slitting and traverse winding a "B" stage prepreg. A unique feature inserts a polyethylene liner at each winding position to protect the product as it is spooled. The new 12" wide system features (24) Smartwinder-2000 modular cubes which operate inline with the unwind slitter section. |

| The slitter includes a cantilevered unwind with programmable constant tension, auto edge guide, adjustable "peel" off roll, entry & exit "S" wrap pull rolls and the exclusive IMC interchangeable slitting assemblies for shear, score and razor slittting. A free standing liner rewind will take up the liner as the unwind pays out the material.
Each cantilevered Smartwinder-2000 position operates completely independent of all other positions and has a computerized, fully adjustable, servo driven assembly that will vary pitch, traverse stroke length and end dwell and is capable of a wide range of winding patterns. Precise adjustable rewind tension is speed controlled by an independent closed loop follower drive system through the exclusive IMC Dancer/Tension controller assembly with a 50:1 tension range and diameter measurement. The operator Touchscreen has recipe storage capability for setting all machine function adjustments. Smartwinder-2000 takes the work out of converting with its easy to use recipe storage, information downloading and precise tension control. Each module increases production by virtually eliminating operator error and set-up downtime to produce perfect spools of exceptional length. |
