Maxson Web Conditioning System
Deliver Flat, Press-Ready Sheets Every Time
Proper web conditioning is the foundation for consistent, high-quality output. The MAXSON Web Conditioning System combines advanced decurling and precise web steering technology to handle a wide range of substrates — from lightweight papers to heavy board grades — while minimizing material waste and maximizing productivity.
Benefits to Your Operation
- Consistently flat, square sheets that feed smoothly into downstream presses and finishing equipment.
- Capability to run a broad substrate range with precise, bidirectional curl correction.
- Reduced curl-related waste and stoppages, increasing uptime.
- Controlled decurling action eliminates sheet surface damage and checking.
- Accurate web steering reduces trim loss and maximizes material yield.
Key Features
Penetrating Breaker Roll Decurl Design
- Large-diameter king rolls: Minimize reintroduction of curl prior to sheeter infeed.
- Differential-diameter breaker rolls: Mounted on a deflection-free crossmember, dual easy-to-adjust breaker rolls provide precise decurling from lightweight papers to heavy board grades.
- Bidirectional adjustment: Corrects both “coated side in” and “coated side out” curl conditions.
- Automatic null return: Integrates with web splicers to maintain consistent performance during splices.
Web Steering Unit
- Closed-loop edge control: Maintains precise web alignment into the slitter section.
- Enables true center slitting: Minimizes side trim and improves material yield.
Operator Controls
- Dual control access: Decurling adjustments at both the cutter infeed and the operator console touchscreen.
- Outfeed-mounted web steering controls: Allow immediate, ergonomic adjustments
Optional Enhancements
- Heavy-duty decurling capacity (up to 0.060″ thickness)
- Multiple-web capability
- Dancer roll system for stable web tension
- Integrated splice detection to minimize disruptions
- Cut-to-mark sensor for precise sheet length registration
