Customer processes

Thin materials, in reel form and otherwise, behave in unusual ways when subjected to customer processes. Our customers come to us because we know the impact their processes have on the unique material and we design customize equipment to precisely control the material throughout the system.

We understand what happens to the materials:

  • Impact in X-Y-Z axis within the material
  • Moisture variation and absorption
  • Mechanical property changes in strength, elongation, elasticity, tension, cast-off, curling, surface variation, and other areas

We understand customer processes and the resulting impact on the materials:

  • Wet/chemical
  • Thermal exposure: Convection, infrared, UV, friction, ultrasonic
  • Pressure
  • Vacuum
  • Bonding
  • Compression
  • Tension
  • Curing
  • Forming
  • Rolling
