Slitting & Rewinding Technical Guides

Practical, field-tested guides for slitting, rewinding and converting lines: how to size, select and maintain air shafts, differential shafts, magnetic powder brakes and clutches, tension controllers and web guiding systems. Written by XW Machinery application engineers for plant engineers and purchasing teams.

Hoe onderhoudt u een differentiaalas

Differential shaft maintenance keeps multi-roll rewinders producing uniform rolls. Daily checks, cleaning steps, and wear-part swaps prevent uneven tension.
