VENDOR EDUCATION SESSION

Improve your tension management and enhance your R2R line performance using MapleSim simulation.

Simulation is transforming the way process engineers approach the design and operation of roll-to-roll systems. Using a virtual model of your web line created in MapleSim, you can rapidly explore how new materials, drive roller layouts, and control strategies will affect the tension and performance of your line. Join simulation specialist Chad Schmitke (Maplesoft), to see what’s involved in creating a web line model and the kinds of questions simulation can (and can’t) answer for web converting systems.

UV Curing – A Proven and Deployable Means of Reducing GHGs, Saving Energy, and Meeting Sustainability Targets in Manufacturing

Solutions to a crisis rarely come from breakthrough technology. Instead, deployable solutions are more likely to arise from established technologies that can be quickly expanded, modified, or repurposed. For printers, coaters, and converters, the most expeditious way to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, save energy, and meet sustainability commitments is through UV curing. Attend this talk to learn why UV curing is the solution you need.
