Introduction to test equipment

Equipment has general web conveyor mechanism that enables selection and running of "dancer control" or "pick-up control" for each unit.

Control characteristics of "dancer control" and "pick-up control" can be reproduced and are used for training material and product development.

An unwinder with biaxial turret and traveling cutter type splicer was added in November 2015 creating a machine configuration that is closer to the customer's environment and providing a machine that enables improvement and verification of tension control.

Addition of units with distinctive features is planned, aiming to further improve our technical capabilities.
