CONVERTING/PRINTING INDUSTRY

Are your gearboxes failing because of high temperatures? “High temperatures are a concern for any gearbox running at least 60% of the time at speeds over 3,000 RPM.” – Machine Design

Applications and Solutions in the Converting/Printing/Web Industry

Printing and converting machines need to be able to run at fast continuous speeds. However, many gearboxes are not able to handle these faster speeds, causing the gearbox to overheat and fail. STOBER gearboxes are capable of handling high continuous speeds without overheating. All gears are heat treated for tooth hardening, preventing cracks that could otherwise appear due to excessive heat. Our bellows coupling compensates for thermal growth and avoids misalignment of the motor shaft and coupling.

Our engineering expertise is ideal for calibration on converting applications. These applications require high continuous linear speeds in high ambient environments. STOBER has several products that focus on print registration at high speeds. Options include: ATEX explosion proof for alcohol based inks and large hollow bores to allow water and air to pass through the motor for chill, impress rolls.

When it comes to the converting/printing/web industry, STOBER is the optimal solution for the most precise applications.

COMMON CHALLENGES AND PROBLEMS
1. 
Fast, continuous speeds
2. 
Excessive heat causing premature failure
3.
