TIP WEB-0402 HD 2-Bar Motorized Decurler w/Mounting
Machine Model for Improvement
Folio-size sheeter types SHM 1400, 1450 and 1650Description of Improvement
This upgrade is part of the Technical Improvement Program (TIP); it adds a motorized decurler system that consists of two decurler bars.
The diameters of the two-decurler bars are determined by our engineering department, depending on machine and product details. Decurler bars are available in 12 mm (1/2 in), 20 mm (3/4 in), 30 mm (1-1/8 in), 40 mm (1-1/2 in), 50 mm (2 in) & 75 mm (1-3/4 in) sizes.
The desired decurler can be selected by moving a pin and rotating the assembly using the supplied handle and then reinserting the pin to lock it. The decurler assembly includes an idler roller [diameter is based on material to be decurled] that the pivoting decurler rotates around. In addition, this improvement also includes an additional idler roller mounted upstream of the 2-bar decurler assembly to support the product and assist in decurling.
The 1/3 HP helical worm gear motor is used for decurler assembly movement. A remotely mounted operator station houses the required components for decurler up and down movements. Over travel limit switches are included to shut the motor power off in case the maximum allowed mechanical limits are reached.
This improvement also includes mounting components in order to support the 2-bar decurler assembly.
Benefits
- Motorized system is superior over manual adjustments
- Remote adjustment improves machine operation
- Quick change over for different bar diameters
