Today's high-performance printing presses are engineered for speed, productivity and automation. Yet with manual reel changes, production still has to stop whenever a reel runs out.

These interruptions reduce productive press time, disrupt workflow and require operator intervention. As press speeds and production volumes increase, the impact becomes more significant.

Non-stop auto-splicing addresses this limitation by allowing reel changes without stopping the press.

What does this mean for your production line?

More productive press time: Eliminate production stops caused by manual reel changes.
More consistent production: Reduce interruptions and maintain a continuous production process.
Less operator intervention: Automate reel changes and reduce the need for manual handling.
Better use of press capacity: Increase output potential without increasing press speed or scheduled operating hours.

Contiweb's non-stop auto-splicing technology uses a zero-speed splicing process and an integrated web accumulator to keep the press supplied with paper during reel changes.

While the press continues running, the outgoing web is joined to the new reel. The accumulator provides the paper needed during the splice, allowing production to continue without interruption.

The splice then travels through the production line. Its detection and handling depend on the press platform and the specific line configuration.

At its facility in Dresden, Germany, SAXOPRINT operates two high-performance production lines equipped with Contiweb non-stop auto-splicing technology.

Its Canon ProStream digital inkjet line uses a Contiweb CD-N Non-Stop Unwinder and CR-N Non-Stop Rewinder. Its Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 sheetfed offset press, equipped with a CutStar reel sheeter, uses a Contiweb CB-N Non-Stop Unwinder.

These installations demonstrate how non-stop auto-splicing can be integrated into different press technologies and production configurations.

Every production line has its own technical requirements. From press interfaces and web tension control to splice handling and available space, successful integration starts with the right configuration.

With decades of engineering experience and thousands of installations worldwide, Contiweb has the expertise to help you make the right technical choices.
