Control Series Electronic Knifeholders
Control Series Electronic Knifeholders are built to maximize operator safety, productivity, and roll quality. Each electronic model is equipped with an intuitive, easy-to-use, color touchscreen, and the ability to auto-calibrate the side force and blade overlap ensures increased slit accuracy and consistency to reduce excess scrap.
Control Series Electronic Knifeholders by Tidland
Maximize operator safety, productivity and roll quality with Tidland’s newest innovation in slitting. Featuring an LED-backlit touchscreen interface, enhanced durability and available wireless operation, the Control Series offers a dramatic improvement in knifeholder technology.
Available in three models, I,II & III, all allow setup in seconds without operator intervention, resulting in increased consistency, less blade wear and reduced downtime between runs. All models are configured with a default 0.035” and include a motorized overlap and side force control with 5 pounds of force (2lbs for Series I). They also have a touch-activated display screen that allows operators to calibrate, engage, and disengage the knifeholder. The installed Tidland 360° Blade Guard Cartridge ensures the blade is fully guarded when the knifeholder is disengaged, and if electrical power fails, the blade will stop and remain in the overlap, side force position.
The Control Plus model adds closed-loop side force control and real-time monitoring via the onboard touchscreen or PC interface so that settings can be confirmed and consistently maintained.
Class I, II & III Control Series Electronic Knifeholders
Despite the difference in size and specific capabilities, the Class II and Class III Control Series Electronic Knifeholders are ideal for converting applications and share similar key features:
- Utilizes a 360° blade guard cartridge
- Minimized operator intervention required for safer slitting operation
- Reduced scrap and increased blade life contributing to lower operating costs
- Self-calibration to reduce the potential for operator error
- Consistent, high-quality slits
- LED-backlit touchscreen for easy programming and monitoring
- Available wireless operation from any WiFi-enabled device (optional)
- Control Plus includes closed-loop side force control and real-time monitoring via onboard touchscreen or optional PC interface
Tidland Control Series Knifeholders Touchscreen
The touch-activated display screen included on the Tidland Control Series Knifeholders allows operators to calibrate, engage, and disengage the knifeholder. Security levels are password protected, allowing the user access to the side force and overlap adjustment capabilities, blade life details, fault history, and other settings. All it takes is a simple tap of the finger on the display to use.
For users needing more advanced control and diagnostics, Maxcess can provide an optional industrial touchscreen PC equipped with proper software for these levels of knifeholder control.
