Modernize legacy unwind and rewind systems with new drive and control upgrade packages engineered for printing, packaging, and converting equipment. These solutions replace outdated motors, controls, and sequencing logic with modern AC/servo drive technology, improved tension handling, and automated roll-change functionality.
Ideal for stabilizing web tension, improving roll handling reliability, reducing waste, and supporting higher production speeds. Upgrades are tailored for common OEM platforms including GEC, Martin Automatic, Butler Automatic, MEGTEC, AMI, PTI, Elite Cameron, Dusenbery, Kampf, and other unwind/rewind manufacturers.
These systems also integrate seamlessly with presses from Goss, MAN Roland, Harris, Timson, W&H, Uteco, Comexi, Bobst, and other converting lines.
Upgrades are designed to fit your existing cabinet lineup and controls architecture, minimizing downtime and installation cost.
