Maxcess showcased its wide portfolio of state-of-the-art automated products and solutions for faster and smarter web handling solutions. Visitors had the opportunity to discover the latest technologies and innovations in web guiding, tension control, vision inspection, performance rolls, slitting, winding, die cutting, and more.
Product highlights included:
Guiding Systems: High-precision web guiding systems provide a reliable solution for maintaining precise web alignment for optimal converting results. The new Fife SmartDrive Actuator and GuideLine Digital Sensor were demonstrated at the booth.
Tension Control: Advanced MAGPOWR and Tidland tension control solutions allow machine and press operators to effectively monitor and control web tension to ensure consistent material handling and print quality.
Vision Inspection Systems: The Maxcess VisionMax Vision System offers 100% Print and Surface Inspection to optimise productivity, minimise return risks and reduce
Slitting Solutions: The new Tidland SmartSlit, RD AutoScore and Control Series Class 1 Electric Knifeholders will be featured to optimize automated slitting performance.
Performance and Precision Rolls: From Componex WINertia Idler Rolls to WEBEX Performance Rolls to thousands of roll covering formulas, our rolls help presses and converting lines run better, faster, and smarter.
Post drupa Maxcess has released a new RotoMetrics flexible die portfolio that combines the manufacturing and operational processes of RotoMetrics, Electro Optic and MLC Brazil to offer the right technology for every application, including short runs, long runs, semi-rotary, digital and thin film liners.
The new portfolio consists of the re-engineered improved value and performance SmartFlex series for paper and film, the increased versatility and longevity of the Prime Series for a wider variety of paper and film applications, plus the improved accuracy and longevity of Dura Series for complex film and abrasive applications.
The three specialised series of flexible dies provide specialty solutions for thin films and best-in-class die-cutting technology with the tightest tolerances and industry-leading blade-cutting precision. Rotometrics exclusive manufacturing processes ensure consistent blade levelness, while vertically integrated, automated manufacturing guarantees unmatched quality and reliability.
RotoMetrics also offers Specialty Dies like GoldLine Special for thin film liner applications and MicroBlade for small and intricate spacing applications. All dies are engineered to work with any press or converting line.
“We spent a significant amount of time asking our customers the biggest converting challenges they were trying to solve,” noted Kiki Chosid, regional vice president of sales at Maxcess. “And, our customers told us they needed flexible dies specifically engineered for today’s materials, including thinner liners, abrasive materials and inks and the growing use of small blade spaces and intricate patterns, as well as for the sheet-fed rotary die cutting markets.
“We automated and enhanced our manufacturing processes to better manufacture flexible dies to improve blade consistency to ensure reliability and eliminate potential die strike issues. We streamlined our durability and chroming processes to improve flexible die longevity converting abrasive materials and inks.”
According to the company, enhanced automation minimises deviations in total plate height and blade flat resulting in up to 30% improvement in manufacturing consistency for better die performance against the anvil.
