Winding

Training on the fundamentals of web processing can be as fun as attending the Kentucky Derby! This year, attendees came to Louisville this year to sharpen their knowledge on web alignment, slitting, winding/unwinding and of course tension control. Each day offered an in-depth look at the principles of one aspect of web handling.

Select the individual courses to improve your specific operational needs or attend all sessions! Industry experts from Fife, MAGPOWR, Tidland, and more will teach you how to make the most of what you've got, or help you to determine what improvements you actually need.

Sean Craig shows ways to improve ergonomics in the converting environment and demonstrates the application of winding theory to improve the profitability and quality of a wound roll.

Some of our favorite articles on web-handling, from one of the most respected educators in the industry -David R. Roisum, Ph.D..

Topics include:

What is the best nip control?
How do I know if my tension control is working well?
Why doesn’t my machine start and stop gracefully?

The College of Winding is committed to providing quality educational materials on the fundamental principles of winding quality rolls and the tools available to support that end.

These days, to stay competitive you have to run multiple variations of material at increasingly shorter runs to turn a profit. To maintain consistent, high-quality output, there are adjustments that need to be made on the unwind through tension, alignment, slitting setup and possibly even the rewind.
