TIP_MWU_1007_Optical Splice Initiation System

Machine Model for Improvement

All splicers with fixed position roll stand

Description of Improvement

This upgrade is part of the Technical Improvement Program (TIP); Optical splice hardware for Tailgrabber™ application. The tailgrabber is a combination of photo sensors, mercury switches and software that monitors the paper near the core.

When the corefinder is enabled and the photo sensor sees the paper pull off the core, a splice is initiated by the software. The maximum optical splicing speed is 600 fpm.

Benefits

  • Reduced risk of web break if paper tears near core
  • Automatically initiates splice without operator intervention
  • Minimizes waste left on roll
