Solomark 6400

The system provides precise tension control of the web before entering to the first printing station and isolates the printing unit from tension disturbance of the unwinding zone. Dancing roller on pivoting lever mounting loaded by a counterweight (Unique mechanism for tension feedback) having motorized movement by means of slo-syn motor. The dancing roller position controls the speed of the in-feed motor./p>

Solomark 6400

All the printing units, Unwinder, Rewinder, in-feed, and out- feed are individually driven by servo motors-drives and controlled and supervised by the high performance motion controller having its own intelligent software.

Advance automation ensuring process repeatability and required productivity.
'Ethernet / IP based communication system' used to maintain tight synchronization between all the drives by providing fast reliable and jitter-free communication.

Solomark 6400

Master operator control console consists of IPC touch screen operator interface, located at rewind side and remote operator control panel at unwind side, as well as each and every printing units facilitates ease in operation.

Solomark 6400

Each print unit mainly consists of pneumatic controls for doctor blade group, impression rubber sleeve and electrical controls for manual length and side-lay register settings, temperature controller for drying chamber, hooter and emergency stop etc.

Solomark 6400

The sleeve system, consists of an air mandrel with a rubber covered fibreglass sleeve.
