Extended Color Gamut with Gravure Paid Members Public
Presented by Chris Marshall, Bobst North America, inc. Brand owners and consumers perceive color variations as a lack of product quality, heavily affecting brand identity and customer loyalty. Brand’s colors should be consistent irrespective of the printing process and the substrate. Furthermore, color matching of PMS Pantone colors is
Development of Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Continuous Manufacturing System for Digital Patterning Lithography Process Paid Members Public
Presented by Jaeyoung Kim, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) This paper introduces the development of a maskless roll-to-roll (R2R) digital exposure process for continuous manufacturing systems. Applying digital exposure technology to the R2R system facilitates high-quality and large-scale production and proposes solutions to various emerging challenges. Notably, a
Creating Digital Models of a Converting Machine Paid Members Public
Presented by Tom Finkbeiner, Siemens Siemens has a table top winding demo using a 100' measuring tap as the web. This consists of (2) winding / unwinding axes, a dancer with spring force for web tension, and a line speed encoder. We are planning to make mechanical and electrical models
Coating Control – intelligent networked edge alignment for renewable energy Paid Members Public
Presented by Mauro Consalvi, BST North America The coating process is one of the most important and most sensitive production processes in the fuel cell and battery industry. In this process step, the quality, and the production efficiency in the manufacture of a fuel cell or a battery are decided
Closed-Form Solutions to Steady-State Temperature Distribution in Moving Webs Paid Members Public
Presented by Aditya Yalamanchili, Texas A&M University Heat transfer between the moving web and the heating/cooling sources and/or ambient is common in many Roll-to-Roll (R2R) manufacturing processes, including printing, coating, embossing, lamination, etc. The thermal strain in the moving web has a significant bearing on the
Can You Trust (Web Handling) Equations? Paid Members Public
Presented by David R Roisum, Ph.D., Finishing Technology, Inc. Equations have been used for more than two millennia by mathematicians and scientists alike. Newton’s Laws have been used to predict everything from cannonball trajectories to the orbital mechanics needed to put a man on the moon. Yet, as

The role of new system-level simulation in solving difficult web-handling design problems Paid Members Public
Due to increased demand for consistent quality and faster turnaround times when ordering new web-handling systems, machine designers are turning to simulation to stay ahead of the competition. Simulation models that include dynamical aspects have the advantage over manual calculations...
