Goss has launched a range of six unwinder/splicers and rewinders developed specifically to address digital web printing requirements. Available immediately, both the unwinder and the rewinder series are designed and engineered to be entirely modular, providing customers with an easy path to full automation at either end of the press line. Developed at the Goss Contiweb facility in the Netherlands, the new product lines have been designed to equal the Contiweb signature splice performance of 99.7% for digital webs.
Available in two web widths 770 mm (30") and 1100 mm (42"), the CD range of splicer/unwinders and the CR range of rewinders share features that facilitate simple set-up, integration and day-to-day operation. These include floor-level loading and unloading of paper reels; unwinding/rewinding in either direction; as well as motorized reel side-lay adjustment; all of which can be monitored throughout via an HMI screen on the unit.
Each model is shaftless and uses pneumatically expanding core chucks driven by low-noise electric motors, which provides an added element of sustainability since energy generated feeds back into the electrical circuit. All six of the models come with a range of options including additional levels of infeed control, web guidance, remote operation through the central control system, and remote diagnosis via VPN.
Aside from the digital web sector, the adaptable and modular design of the Contiweb Digital Series also expands potential for labels and packaging applications. This is seen with the customized Goss Vpak web offset press configurations, incorporating a range of processes and ancillaries – such as flexo, gravure and digital stations, UV and EB drying – which would benefit from a higher level of tension control throughout the web path.
