Splice Assist SealMade in Japan

The Splice Assist Seal prevents unwinding of the next web in a dual-shaft turret splicing machine of a roll-to-roll coating system. Attaching the seal to the leading edge of a web prevents unwinding and ensures reliable splicing.

Anti-unwinding measures are required.

The Splice Assist Seal prevents unwinding.

Features of the Splice Assist Seal

• 1. Reliable prevention of unwinding

  Attaching the seal to the leading edge of a web reliably prevents unwinding and splicing failures.

• 2. Significant improvement in work efficiency

  Previously, general-purpose adhesive tapes were used to implement complicated anti-unwinding measures. The seal enables any user to easily implement the measures only by attaching the seal, making it possible to reduce the work time and standardize the work.

• 3. A dependable design with minimal contamination

  The design minimizes the risk of detachment or adhesion to the guide roll, eliminating concerns about contaminating products as foreign matter.

Uses

To prevent unwinding of the next web during splicing in a dual-shaft turret splicing machine of a roll-to-roll coating system

Usage by a user

Almost eliminating failures in high-speed splicing by standardizing the anti-unwinding measures We received a request from a customer to enable web changeovers with minimal speed reduction to maintain productivity during gravure coating. Previously, the customer cut commercially available adhesive tapes and attached them to the leading edge of a web to prevent unwinding. However, this method was not standardized and was subject to personal differences depending on experience. Unwinding of a web occurred in some cases, posing the risk of splicing failures. We proposed using the Splice Assist Seal and received positive feedback that the product reduced differences in work performed by respective workers and eliminated splicing failures.

User feedback

	Company A We perform high-speed splicing to improve productivity, resulting in occasional unwinding and splicing failures. When we tried the Splice Assist Seal to prevent unwinding, the splicing success rate improved. Thus, we officially adopted it for processing of mass-produced products.
	Company B In our previous anti-unwinding measure, the tape attachment method varied depending on the worker. The Splice Assist Seal can be simply attached, making it possible to standardize the preparation work.
	Company C When we checked the Splice Assist Seal after splicing, no foreign matter was generated, and no scattering of fragments or the seal was observed. There was no contamination. We are satisfied with the performance!
