Slitter/Scorer Alignment System

The Fife Slitter/Scorer alignment system is compact and easy to install. The system assures accurate chasing of the slitter/scorer knives to the board at lines speeds up to 1,000 fpm. The result? Reduced side trim waste, reduced order-change waste, consistent finished quality and greater productivity.

Installed on the slitter/scorer, the D-MAX Series Web Guide Controller works as a closed-loop system detecting edge and center guide information from the DAC-004 Diode Array camera sensor and directing the guide structure to make the correct alignment adjustments prior to the slitter/scorer function.

Key Features:

• No large, bulky cabinets
• Eliminates need for mechanical or electronic position feedback circuitry
• High chasing accuracy by reference to web edge or printed line with closed-loop electrohydraulic proportional control
• Unaffected by width variations
• No need for operator involvement during order changes due to wide-angle lenses that eliminate need for adjustments – continuously controlled production from order to order.
• Virtually maintenance-free DAC-004 camera sensor protected against dust and condensation and unaffected by ambient light.

• Fife D-MAX series web guiding system
