Drupa Preview


ASHE AT DRUPA 2024 – HALL 11 STAND A50


2024 sees the return of the international print exhibition, drupa, the world’s leading trade fair for printing technologies.


held since 2016 due to COVID, ASHE Converting Equipment will display many machines from their machinery range to give visitors at their booth an experience of live machine running.


T will be:


SAPPHIRE S3 DUPLEX SLITTER REWINDER – NEW LAUNCH!


The intelligent slitting machine is launched. The s3 has been developed by ASHE to be a fully automated duplex or duplex turret with minimal operator involvement.


The machine will have a new unwind loading system for the master rolls which will automatically position the unwind into the correct position when at the correct height. This can be confi gured with our auto knife positioning and auto rewind core positioning which means minimal operator input as the machine virtually sets itself.


Another feature of the new s3 is a linear layon concept. A benefi t of a linear layon is automation. Each layon roller is on its own independent carriage which move linearly away from the rewind shaft. With this technology, we can easily integrate an automatic cross cutting mechanism and add a tape applicator which automatically closes the fi nished rolls and tape the


DIAMOND DUPLEX TURRET SLITTER REWINDER


A 1650mm wide (65”) duplex turret slitter rewinder from our Diamond series will be on display. The Diamond machine has been designed to have a small footprint for space requirements and for ease of installation. It also features a duplex turret rewind to 600mm (24”) diameter where the rewinding shafts remain fully supported through the turret cycle. The machine features an integrated shaftless unwind stand with electric roll lift, edge guider, razor and shear slitting systems and has a maximum speed of 500m/min. An automatic fi nished roll push off system is integrated onto the machine which can push the fi nished rolls off onto a variety of unloading stands.


SOLITAIRE MID WEB SLITTER REWINDER The Solitaire series of slitter rewinder is produced for mid web applications. The Solitaire series has been developed by ASHE over a number of years


A new machine will also be launched at the fair, as the company expand their product portfolio to give their customers the highest levels of technology and automation available. The slitting and rewinding machinery on show


he exhibition is being held from May 28th through the June 7th at the Messe, Dusseldorf, Germany.


As the exhibition has not been


incoming web onto the new cores. All types of unloading can be confi gured on the s3, with a new faster automatic roll push off system. A new scissor lift roll pusher system has also been integrated into the machine to allow easy removal of fi nished rolls, for those converters who are looking for full width rewinding facilities on a slitter rewinder.


A new control cubicle has also been engineering onto the S3 which is more ergonomically designed for the operator, along with heightened safety features to easily highlight the necessary safety modes the machine is in.


for UV fl exo printers who wish to print fl exible packaging applications, and also those who print fl exible packaging on digital format presses.


OPAL OLT OFFLINE TURRET REWINDER FOR SELF ADHESIVE LABELS


For the printers of self-adhesive labels, maximum fi nishing effi ciency can be achieved with our Opal glueless turret rewinders. The machine features a patented cut and transfer system which can apply material onto new cores at speed without the need for glue or tape and full servo control. Another key feature of the Opal OLT is that there are no mechanical tooling changes required when changing core sizes. This is a feature which drastically reduces machine downtime.


OPAL ISR 100% INPSECTION SLITTER REWINDER


The modular design of the Opal ISR allows us to off er the machine in a number of confi gurations and allows our users to inspect 100% of the print through a camera-based inspection system. The machine can be confi gured with diff erent web path patterns to ensure that any fault detected by the camera system. The machine is suited for all pressure sensitive substrates along with fi lmic labels and fl exible packaging.


MOONSTONE The need for data is becoming more important and ASHE have developed software for their machines which will allow their users to log requested data such as slit widths, roll tensions, speeds, pressures and faults.
