PROUD BUILDERS OF THE “NON-STANDARD” SLITTING MACHINE We are known in the converting industry for our custom machinery. Even through we have built hundreds of slitterrewinders over the years, we don’t boast about our line of standard slitters because, to us, nothing is truly standard. Fortunately, our Clients seem to like that about us! Most of our slitterrewinder Clients need a special machine for special applications and materials. Often, their materials are also new to them. They come to IMC because their unique requirements are usually not satisfied by standard off-the shelf equipment. Our goal is to match our expertise in slitting, winding and tension control with our Client’s expectations for the right machine. To achieve this, our engineering team works directly with each Client to understand their requirements before the design phase is complete. While we pride ourselves on our custom machine design, we have been building slitters for over 40 years and have many existing designs that may closely match your needs. Please feel free to send us you requirements so we can evaluate your project. We invite you to browse through the following photographs and brief descriptions which illustrate our capabilities.

TRAVERSE WINDERS SPOOLING EQUIPMENT Shaping The Future Of Computerized Spooling Utilizing IMC Smartwinders™ Software Why splice every 10 minutes when you can splice once a day or less? Material spooled on computerized traverse winders can be as diverse as nonwovens, films, tear strips, extruded materials, composites, laminates, foams, PSA and even flexible metals. Traverse wound spools come in various shapes and sizes. Winding patterns include level, taper, reverse taper magnum and index. Slit widths are from .032” to 8”. Lengths can go from 25 feet to 25 miles. A single wound spool can weigh up to 2000 lbs.

250mm Wide Slitter With 4-Tier Rewind Designed for clean room operation, this precision machine slits to 1.5mm and rewinds pancakes, reels, or full width rolls when used in suspect and “map” defects. The unwind has programmable constant tension and a non-contact vacuum to remove particulate from both sides of the web Slit accuracy to less than .0005″ Computerized laser scanning for web inspection and “mapping” for enhanced quality assurance Data collection and recipe storage
