Advanced Technology Surface (ATS) Winder

The ATS winder is designed for consistent in-line slitting and winding of roll diameters up to 60 inches (1,524mm) on cores as small as 3 inches (75mm). Engineered to limit shaft deflection, this winder reduces critical speed issues before an automatic transfer to new cores, eliminating wrinkles and core start problems. Slit rolls can be surface wound using programmed tension, nip, and torque. Rolls are supported on the winding drum and driven support drum throughout the entire winding cycle providing your process with high quality, inline slit products.

Highlights of the ATS Winder:

• Transfer shoe system with pop-up knife to ensure straight, clean transfer regardless of web speed.
• Excellent core and winding roll support.
• Driven support drum to support the winding roll set in the winding position and to help minimize winding roll deflection.
• Shaft sensing devices to prevent excessive loading by the support drum.
• A support arm for safety and to prevent lateral movement of the winding roll.
• Automatic shaft handling for high productivity.
• A position sensing device to counter balance the arm assembly and prevent excessive loading of the core shaft.
