Flexible Solutions for your Engineering Needs

Paper and Film Handling

We have developed a library of sophisticated software tools to help engineers design and optimize paper and film handling systems. These simulations have been applied to many products and processes, including photocopiers, fax machines, image setters, and paper and film manufacturing equipment. We offer consulting on the following subjects related to Media Handling:

Single Sheet Mechanics

  • Modeling of single sheets moving through a paper path.
  • Prediction of jam, stall, and roll-over conditions.

Winding Mechanics

  • The mechanics of wound roll production.
  • Prediction of core pressures, inter-layer pressures and inter-layer tensions.
  • Prediction of winding defects and optimization of winding tension profiles.

Nip Mechanics

  • Modeling of the contact region betwen rollers.
  • Prediction of sheet transport speed.

Prediction of pressures, deflections, and nip width
