Consequences of Roller Misalignment in Manufacturing Industries Paid Members Public
Presented by Derek Harrod, Fluke Corporation Roller misalignment is a common but often underestimated cause of quality and productivity issues in roll-to-roll and web-handling manufacturing. Even small angular errors between rollers can disrupt the path of the web, creating uneven tension, unwanted lateral movement, and instability throughout
AI-Enhanced Vacuum Quality Monitoring for Productivity Improvement Paid Members Public
Presented by Dermot Monaghan, Gencoa Vacuum processes can suffer from faults such as air leaks or organic contamination. With pressure gauges alone, it can be difficult to constantly monitor for such errors. Residual Gas Analysers (RGA) can facilitate this, giving partial pressure measurements. However, determining if a fault is present
Considerations for Optimal Drying and Curing of Water and Solvent Inks and Coatings Paid Members Public
Presented by John Palazzolo, adphos Digital Printing GmbH Drying and curing are critical yet often misunderstood stages in printing and converting, with “dry” defined differently depending on the perspective of press manufacturers, printers, or finishing operations. This session, Considerations for Optimal Drying and Curing of Water and Solvent Inks and
Customized Films: Mixing and Matching Print and Sealant Webs for Optimal Performance and Cost Paid Members Public
Presented by Steve Griggs, Inteplast Engineered Films As consumers' demand for recyclable flexible packaging grows, packaging converters and packaging engineers are challenged to balance sustainable packaging designs with economics. Inteplast Engineered Films (IEF) has responded by developing a full suite of mix-and-match print and sealant webs, which
Designing a LIB Coating Line with Integrated Gauging Systems Paid Members Public
Presented by Eric Maki, Unassigned The development of a high-performance lithium-ion battery (LIB) coating line demands a holistic approach that integrates precision web handling, optimized coating delivery and drying kinetics, and real-time quality control. This presentation explores key design principles for coating and drying systems tailored to
Development of Core Technologies for High-Precision Roll-to-Roll Continuous Manufacturing Systems Paid Members Public
Presented by Jaeyoung Kim, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials - Dept. of Advanced Battery Manufacturing Systems This study presents the design and implementation of core technologies for a high-precision roll-to-roll (R2R) continuous manufacturing system. The performance of the proposed system is validated through dynamic analysis and experimental
