BLADERUNNER'S SEMINARS

A full day workshop on shear performance slitting is fundamental to finishing and converting. The more you know about slitting, the greater your ability to enhance your product quality. If you are looking for answers to your shear slitting problems, Tidland Corporation's popular Bladerunners' Seminars are for you. They cover the basics of this important technology in a comprehensive, easy to understand manner. They enable you to improve your slitting process, increase your products' value, and elevate your production efficiencies.

About the Seminar
This comprehensive, all-day workshop covers all aspects of shear slitting, from fundamentals such as blade sharpness,
to complex issues such as machine design and web dynamics in the slitting function.

1) "Pros And Cons" Of Available Slitting Equipment

• Is the machine you are using the best for your job?

2) Blade Sharpness: The Key To Clean, Accurate Slitting

• How do blades dull? How is dust formed?

3) Blade Profile:

• Making Sense of a Confusing Subject
• With so many profiles to choose from, which is best?

4) Run-out And Vibration, Critical Variables in Blade Life

• How destructive is run-out and vibration to blade life?

5) How To Control Cant Angles

• How much angle is needed, and how is it controlled?

6) Blade Overlap Made Easy

• A critical factor in good slitting. How is overlap set?

7) Side Loading:

• Why Less Is Better
• How much do I need?
• How do I control it?

8) Optimizing Slitter System Geometry

• Fine tuning existing equipment or retrofitting?
• Pitfalls to avoid when designing a new machine.
• What are the necessary parameters for good slitting?

9) Driving The Slitter System

• Slitter speed, relative to web speed, cannot be ignored.

10) Eliminating Problems At The Trim Slitters

• Problems at the trim slitters? Here's what's happening, and what you can do about it.
