The X9 integrates a range of technologies to automate the following functions:
- Unwind tension control
- Guider eye positioning
- Shear knife positioning
- Rewind tension control
- Core positioning
Universal have used this technology to develop its hot melt coaters and hot melt laminators. Precise control of tension and other machine conditions is vital when hot melt coating or hot melt laminating. All the technologies required to build a class leading slitting machine are incorporated into the hot melt adhesive coating systems.
Many of the technologies are also available as upgrades for existing machines. These include:
- Computacore laser core alignment
- ConverterGuide Digital 4 Web Guiding
- Computaslit automatic knife positioning
- Closed Loop Tension Control
- Shaftless Unwind
- Differential Rewind
