Details & specifications

Roll-to-Roll Gen8

The Roll-to-Roll Gen8 is a finishing system for continuous roll processing. It runs high-volume work: transactional printing, direct mail, print-on-demand, and packaging. On-the-fly roll changes keep the line running through roll transitions in demanding environments.

Key features

Nonstop operation: the RS8 Roll Splicer and TR8 Turret Rewinder handle roll transitions without stopping, which raises productivity by up to 30% vs. manual changes.

High-speed performance: processes up to 830 fpm.

Application support: handles 27 lb text to 110 lb cover (40-300 gsm) for direct mail, transactional, and packaging work.

Modular design: configurable layouts integrate with existing finishing systems.

Web inspection: the optional WI8 detects defects for quality control.

Heavy-duty build: accepts rolls up to 22.5" diameter and 1,980 lbs.

Web cleaning options: PEM/iPEM cleaners keep the web clean and reduce waste.

Time remaining indicator: a standard display that improves roll-change management.

Fast roll lift: combined roll lift time of 80 seconds, about 28% faster than standard.
