Find out how and why tension must be controlled throughout the machine.
Find out how and why machines need to be aligned.
Find out why rollers must be true.
Find out how to avoid web breaks and damage.
Learn about options for slitting, edge guiding, calendering, winding and many other converting processes Course Concepts:.
Runnability: Preventing web breaks.
Web Handling: Physical laws governing web behavior.
Tension: Setpoints, draw, dancer and load cell control.
Guiding: Passive, unwind, rewind, steering and displacement.
Materials: Effects on handling and converting.
Environment: Moisture and temperature effects on webs and rolls.
Rollers: The foundation of web processes.
Spreading: For widening, slit separation and preventing wrinkles.
Wrinkling: Diagnosing and preventing wrinkles.
Nips: Calendering, laminating, winding, etc.
Slitting: Razor laser, log saw, score, shear, waterjet.
Winding: How to wind a good roll About the Instructor: Dr David Roisum, founder and president of Finishing Technologies is a renowned authority in the area of web handling and converting.
He has authored three books and over 100 papers and articles, including his monthly Web Works column in Converting Magazine.
At Beloit Corporation he was a machine designer and then research manager for winders.
At the Web Handling Research Center he served as an advisor and helped set up their pilot lab.
At Kimberly-Clark he served as an internal converting consultant to all business units.
Finally, as an independent consultant he has helped troubleshoot a variety of problems in the paper, film, foil, nonwoven and textile industries.
He has been honored several times with TAPPI's Finest Faculty award based on positive feedback from TAPPI short course attendees.
