Sputtered Low-E Films on Flexible PET Substrates Paid Members Public
Presented by Dr. Stella Maris Van Eek, FHR Anlagenbau GmbH Our task is to supply equipment and sputter-targets for broadly vacuum-coating. This experience enables us to integrate tool and materials in order to develop a robust process for the industrial manufacturing of thin films. As an example we show here
Porous Air Bearing Techniques for Contactless Handling, Flattening and Stabilization of Webs Paid Members Public
Presented by Teunis van Dam, IBS Precision Engineering In roll-to-roll processes for printed electronics, avoiding web contact is critical to reduce damage and contamination. Experiments on newly developed cylindrical air bearings demonstrate that a stiff < 0.1 mm air layer can be realized to support webs, proving the feasibility
Advanced Optical Line Scanners for Web Inspection in Vacuum Processes Paid Members Public
Presented by Nikolaus Tichawa, Tichawa Vision GmbH Optical Line Scanners have been used successfully as in-situ sensors in vacuum processes for a couple of years. The basic advantages of CIS technology are very compact size and the use of the CIS housing itself as a pressure chamber.

Centre - Surface Winding Paid Members Public
Presented by Michael Schröder, Extrusion Coating Machines Winding of sensitive substrates and laminates in converting machines at the end of the process require the correct winding system in respect of the material behavior and surface characteristic. In the winding process web shifting and wrinkles can easily occur if wrong tension
Vacuum Pull Rolls Design and Applications Paid Members Public
Presented by Kristi Schmidt, Webex, Inc. Vacuum rolls are relatively simple devices with very beneficial characteristics. The use of vacuum rolls is growing with increases in line speeds, quality levels, and safety awareness. Traditional applications include moving a web between coater and dryer and facilitating high speed line operation, but
