Monitoring Solvent Usage Via The Web And On PCs
The AW Company has developed a Solvent Usage Monitoring System (SUM).
The Linerless Label Guide Rollers have crepe configured surfaces with a coating over the moulded silicone polymer.
The roller surface finish is claimed to allow use of continuous label strips in automated printers and various packaging systems without liner backing, saving material, whilst allowing more labels per roll and simplifying system design, it is claimed.
As a result, systems print, cut and affix labels faster, whilst eliminating system jams and downtime, added the company.
To achieve the right custom Linerless Label Guide roller design, Hiawatha Rubber engineers, chemists and technicians develop a product recommendation that best meets the required design criteria.
The company said that includes selecting the right silicone blend and roller coating, then developing the correct moulding and bonding process, followed by accurate grinding of the roller to correct dimensional and surface finish for highest level performance.
Hiawatha's in-house grinding department is said to specialise in achieving custom finishes and special crowning for specific feeding characteristics and longer-wearing rollers.
In addition, Hiawatha Rubber said that it offers material formulation chemistry, CAD design tooling, injection transfer moulding, CNC grinding and CNC machining.
Manufacturing the rollers can include value added services, such as bearing assembly, plastic or metal gears, drilling and tapping components, precision journal grinding, plastic-to-rubber bonding, metal-to-rubber bonding and segmented roller assembly.
Hiawatha Rubber is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
In-process quality controls include computerised data collection utilising laser micrometers, CMM (coordinate measuring machines) and statistical process control.
