See how a printing training center reduces waste by checking registration at each print station without slowing the press, and how a PET film supplier protects their reputation for quality.

The FireGuard2 Intinsically Safe tension signal amplifier measures process tension while providing peace of mind to converters, printers, coaters and laminators whose machines and operators may be exposed to flammable solvent vapor. The FireGuard2 is an Intrinsically Safe, UL listed electronic device for measuring process tension from a Class I Division I or 2* manufacturing area. FireGuard2 connects to tension transducers and a tension display installed in the hazardous area. By limiting energy delivered into the area below the level required for spark ignition, FireGuard2 significantly reduces the risk of fire and explosion when used with Dover’s UL approved tension transducers.

A demonstration from the QuadTech Engineering Test Lab: The Color Measurement System for packaging and converting printers uses our innovative SpectralCam to accurately measure the spectral response and calculate L*a*b*, ΔE, Density and ΔDensity... all at full press speeds. Our optional high-resolution dot viewing gives your operators unprecedented ability to view dot reproduction and diagnose problems quickly. To see how we've taken a completely new approach to an old problem, be sure to also watch the video "Quad Tech Tour Demo - Stabilizing Film." http://www.quadtechworld.com

For more information: https://goo.gl/yMZMhp A demonstration of the smooth operation and sensitivity of the Mach III 58PI SensiFlex tension control clutch. SensiFlex® clutches and brakes are designed for one purpose -- tension control. They are not standard clutches and brakes that have been repurposed as slip clutches by substituting a low coefficient friction pad. SensiFlex® clutches and brakes engage at low pressures and are capable of a broad range of torque output. They supply the processing flexibility demanded from today's label printing and narrow web converting machinery without sticking, pulsing or cogging.

The EasyWeb Torque Controller is an open-loop control device for maintaining a set tension during web winding or unwinding operations for converters and package printers. Unlike DFE's tension controllers that take an input signal from tension transducers (load cells), web tension with the EasyWeb™ is maintained by controlling motor or brake torque based on the calculated variation of roll diameter as a roll is wound or unwound. An inertia compensation parameter is provided to obtain greater control of web tension during changes in line speed. The EasyWeb™ Torque Controller can accept input signals from a direct diameter sensor or can calculate diameter using line and roll speed signals. It's a lower cost alternative to DFE's transducer-based tension controllers.

Get up and running faster with one of the easiest brakes to install in the industry. See for yourself just how easy it is to install Montalvo's V Brake. Performance & Productivity combined.

Mark Breen , Marketing Manager for Dover Flexo Electronics, demonstrates the company's new Easy Web open loop torque controller during CPP EXPO and explains when it's the right time to purchase a torque controller rather than a tension transducer or load cell.

A demonstration from the QuadTech Engineering Test Lab: Measuring color inline on film has always presented problems with stabilizing the substrate, preventing corrugation, and providing a constant backing medium. QuadTech has taken a completely new approach to an old problem. Our patent-pending web stabilizer expands your ability to achieve accurate color faster on a variety of substrates. http://www.quadtechworld.com

A walk-through of how to calibrate your Montalvo US4 Ultrasonic Sensor

The POWER of BETTER, episode 1 Meet Laura Casale, staff engineer in program management at QuadTech. But she's also a mom who's very particular about the food she buys. Gluten-free, all the way. She understands the importance of packaging, and how the information impacts her buying decisions. The customers she works with are packaging printers, and their customers (CPG brands) are very particular about color accuracy, and the overall quality of their printed packaging. Because if it doesn't look good, it doesn't move off the shelf. http://www.quadtechworld.com

Take a detailed look at how Range Expansion helps eliminate waste while increasing the capabilities of your machine to run a wider range of materials and tensions. This video walks you through the concepts of range expansion as well as provides a demonstration on how it works.

Bryon Williams, Marketing for Montalvo Corp., describes to PFFC's Yolanda Simonsis the company's new i4 Tension Indicator with push-button zeroing and calibration that connects with the new, highly sensitive RF Load Cell for very thin and delicate applications, and the X Series Load Cell for pulleys or cantilevered rolls allowing customization.

Various Sercos III and EtherNet/IP devices can coexist within one network environment using a common Ethernet infrastructure on a single cable. Peter Lutz, managing director of Sercos International e.V. explains, how that works and how machine builders and users can benefit from this new conceptual approach.
