(Press Release) -
The Montalvo Corporation, international specialist in industrial web control systems, has posted a presentation on its website to explain to customers how to upgrade Mark Andy 2200 presses for better productivity and reduced down time.
The emphasis is on controlling tension on extensible materials from the full roll mode down to the core using the 2200 presses.

President Ed Montalvo says the web site shows the steps for brake replacement with the Montalvo C-Series dual disc brakes in situations where significant unwind friction and torque are occurring in the original brake installation.
Montalvo adds, "The old pulleys alone weigh more than a new CD-134 brake assembly and this new upgrade does not use belts or pulleys. It comes ready to mount on the 1.375" airshafts."
Web tension in this upgrade is controlled by a Montalvo load cell-based S-3100 digital tension controller which replaces the existing dancer control system on the Mark Andy 2200. And a Montalvo TNT tension sensing roll replaces the existing idler roll.
Benefits to Mark Andy users include:
