Description
Typical Uses: The JTS-4 is a high volume, fully automatic turret winder used to convert a variety of surface sensitive products. The machine is ideal for converters who seek full automation, but who have concerns about web surface scratching or require minimum wound-in tension. By utilizing four shafts instead of just two, the machine’s cycle time is optimized, allowing for very high volume production. Shaft one is used for roll starting and winding, shaft two is used for finished roll sealing, shaft three is used for finished roll removal and shaft four is used for core loading. Like the JTS-2, the machine’s sophisticated tension control system provides superior lane control, allowing for multiple slit production. Typical rewind shafts range in size from 2.0” (50mm) to 3” (76mm) in diameter, with custom diameters available. This machine converts window tint films, coated photo papers, pressure sensitive cast vinyls, coated canvas and much more.
Operator Responsibilities per Cycle: The machine is fully automatic, allowing the operator to assist with roll packaging.
Automation: Cores are staged in a core hopper and transferred to an autoloader station where they are loaded onto rewind shafts. The machine automatically cuts the tails, wraps the tails around the cores, tucks the tails, winds the roll to the desired length, seals the tails of the finished rolls and strips the shaft of finished rolls.
