There can be waste of material during make-ready. There can be
running waste because of floating registration. There can be hundreds of feet of
wasted material used up with starts and stops to regain registration after
stoppage or web splices. These problems are all attributable to web tension. The
old saying is that if you take care of the pennies the dollars take care of
themselves. Taking care of web tension issues saves material and money on every
run, sometimes several times a run. Taking care of web tension issues with the
Servo 3000 turns those regained pennies into dollars in your pocket with the
revolutionary Servo 3000.
Another example is the flexibility, as well as reliability, that
use of the Servo 3000 allows. Because the Servo 3000 uses digital material
settings repeatability is simple. Because of the light tension settings of the
Servo 3000 an older standard label press can run thin, filmic materials,
increasing its usability and flexibility.
How Does the Servo 3000 Do This?
The Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register system uses a
proprietary algorithm to precisely meter materials into the press, taking into
account the elastic properties of the web. The Servo 3000 maintains web tension
by forcing the web to do exactly when the press does in its timing and speed as
well as acceleration and deceleration. This is where basic tension systems fail.
They are not dynamic enough to precisely match real running conditions of the
press.
Adding the advanced Servo 3000 to an old press filters web
properties and breaks a single press revolution into millions of parts. The
Servo 3000 meters the web, following individual parts with digital accuracy.
Adding the Servo 3000 to an older press can make the press perform like new and
even better. With the revolutionary Servo 3000 Digital Infeed +
Re-register system the web never loses sight of what the press is doing,
during each and every tiny fraction of a press revolution.
