Novation's SlitterWare control box replaces
a number of manually controlled slitter operations and adjustments
with automatic control.
SlitterWare uses rewind diameter to automatically
affect the tension and/or overspeed of the winder. The diameter
can either be calculated by length of material run and a gauge input,
or measured with an optional ultrasonic sensor.
E/P transducers replace the manually controlled
regulators for yoke pressure when differential winding, clutch pressure
when locked-core winding and for pack roll pressure. Analog outputs
from the system control the lead drive and the rewind drive speeds.
Programmable profiles are included allowing control of: starting
setpoints, taper start diameter, taper end diameter, and ending
setpoints.
SlitterWare also includes a length counter feature
allowing the slitter to run at higher speeds, decelerate, and stop
just prior to the programmed roll length. Recipe functionality is
included for all controlled setpoints allowing more repeatable winding.
SlitterWare is easily upgradeable to the full RollCode
defect flagging/tracking system.
