Rotary Slitter
The rotary slitting/scorer unit is a self contained bolt on assembly. Equipped as standard with three cutter holder assemblies. The minimum distance between cuts is 18mm (3/4"), edge trimming is possible to a maximum of 5mm (3/16") dependent on the material.
Cutting pressure and depth of cut are independently adjustable. The cutting wheel is brought to bear on the anvil roller at a tangent, giving very precise and sensitive adjustment. Wheels are disposable and easily replaced. A variety of different wheels are available for perforating, creasing etc.
AC Powered Rotary Slitter
The rotary slitting unit is a self contained bolt on assembly. Equipped as standard with four pairs of slitting wheels, these are adjustable across the web for slitting and edge trimming. The bottom cutters are powered by an A.C. electric motor/gearbox located within the assembly. The scissors action gives clean precise cuts on paper and most synthetic materials. The minimum distance between cuts is 19mm, edge trimming is possible to a maximum of 4mm; dependent on the material.
Newfoil Infeed Laminator Unit
Comprising of a special unwind arm assembly,fitted with two unwind stations. The uppermost unwind assembly features a mandrel with friction clutch for holding and feeding the top face material. The lower unwind station, which is normally used to hold the double-sided self-adhesive material is similar to the top unwind, but for the addition of an electric motor and gearbox, which is utilised when feeding conventional self-adhesive products.
Numbering Head Chase
The numbering boxes supplied are all steel units fitted with hardened steel wheels, which are chrome finished for hot foil use. Six wheels are fitted and normally down counting, standard character size is 4mm (18pt), other sizes in the range of 2mm to 6mm high are available. Operation is by remote plunger connected to the numbering unit by a drive shaft.
All numbering units allow the simultaneous use of 16 gauge etched dies and a matrix of M3 tapped holes to allow easy attachments, the hole centers are the same pitch as the standard gauge plates.
Variable Data Unwind Unit
The addition of a high quality, high speed thermal printer enables variable data and graphics function e.g. barcode printing. The thermal printer is mounted on a special unwind unit which includes the web handling and interface connections to the Newfoil machine.
The main drive of the Newfoil machine is modified to enable control from the unwind, this enable the two printing machines to run at optimum speed. The thermal printer is used in conjunction with a Personal Computer and can be used as a stand alone printer.
Hologram Re-registration
The hologram attachment can be fitted as standard or retro fitted to the very successful Newfoil label printing and die-cutting equipment, which has been specially developed over a number of years to meet the need for a high performance hot foil stamping machine, capable of over-printing in register pre-printed webs with specific holographic images.
Holograms are increasingly used to improve product identification and security, their inclusion into the design of self-adhesive labels is now widespread, with numerous applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, electronic, automotive and security printing industries.
