GLUE WHEELS & SCRAPERS

The glue wheels rotate in a bath of molten glue, and transfer the adhesive onto the cores; the scrapers remove the excess adhesive from the sides of the wheels, preventing over-application and stringing.

GLUE WHEEL SETTING FIXTURE

The glue wheel setting fixture is used to pre-set the position of the glue wheels, prior to the assembly being placed into the machine. The unit is fitted with an electrically heated element that melts any glue residue on the glue wheels and shaft, allowing the wheels to be moved into the correct position whilst removed from the machine.

NORDSON HOT MELT GLUING SYSTEM

As an alternative to glue wheels, a programmable Nordson Hot Melt Gluing System can be specified. This system allows the operator to set the core gluing in seconds. Note only available on STR and STRS machines.

KNIFE SETTING FIXTURE

The vernier measuring scale ensures quick and accurate positioning of the scissor slitting knives onto the knife shafts, prior to the shaft being fitted into the machine.

CORE SETTING FIXTURE

This tooling is required to ensure a smooth and accurate transition of the cores from the lifting mechanism to the positioning nest. To ensure correct positioning nest. To ensure correct positioning, the individual nests are made to fit the specific core size.

WRAP AROUND TOOLING FOR GLUELESS REWINDING

When rewinding without glue, it is essential that the web is correctly wrapped around the core (or mandrel if rewinding coreless) at the start of the winding operation. To enable this, special tooling is used to create a precise path around the core.

VACUUM HEADS

The vacuum heads are use to pick up closure labels as they are dispensed out of the printer, and transports them to the finished roll, where they are accurately positioned to seal the end of each roll.

COLLECTION CHUTE

The collection chute is ideal when rewinding small diameter rolls, because the finished products can be ejected off the mandrel and onto the chute, where they can be quickly and easily removed by the operator.

TAKE OFF CONVEYOR

The take off conveyor is designed for quick transfer of finished rolls from the rewind mandrel to the packaging line without the intervention of the operator.

FRONT & BACK CORE SUPPORT

This device carries both front and back stops which can be adjusted by a hand wheel, enabling the cores to be accurately positioned to suit the web. The front stop is spring loaded, and is pushed aside as the cores are being loaded onto the mandrel. The device is standard on the STR, STRS & SGTR models, and can be specified as an option on the ECTR.

MANDREL CONSTANT END SUPPORT

To enable rewinding to be carried out on small diameter cores, this device supports the end of the mandrel as it moves from the cut position through to rewind position. It must be specified on any STR, STRS, or SGTR with a web width of 330mm and over if it is to run from 12mm up to 24mm mandrels. It must also be specified on the 510mm machine when running any mandrel under 50mm diameter.

END OF ROLL LINE MARKER

This pneumatically controlled line marker can be easily fitted onto the press or onto a Vectra stand alone slitting unit. Programmed to be actuated as the end of the roll approaches, it leaves a clearly defined indicator, which can be on either the face or backing of the web.
