The crucial role of adjustment and test runs in winding technology


In the processing of web-shaped materials such as films, papers, textiles and metal strips, precise adjustment and well thought-out test runs of the associated machines are essential. In this article, we discuss how the careful adjustment and testing of machine functions not only maximizes the efficiency of production processes, but also ensures product quality.


The adjustment of our winding machines ensures that the material is processed evenly and without too much tension or wrinkling. Essential adjustments include the regulation of the material tension, the precise alignment of the rollers and the calibration of the sensors in order to optimally take into account the properties of each material. Each machine is therefore assembled on site for a factory acceptance test (FAT) and put into operation with the customer's material. The customer is of course invited to the acceptance test in order to rectify any final defects, which then significantly reduces the installation time on the customer's construction site.

Carrying out effective test runs

Test runs after adjustment are essential to ensure that the machine functions correctly within the required parameters. They help to detect problems such as material compression or web deviations at an early stage and to correct them through further adjustments.

Optimization through interaction between adjustment and test run

The interaction between adjustment and test run is ultimately decisive for process optimization. The initial adjustment is followed by a test run, which provides feedback for fine adjustments. This iterative process promotes continuous improvement of machine settings and contributes to the standardization of processes, which improves product quality and production efficiency.

Sustainable quality through preventive maintenance

Regularly checking the adjustment and maintenance of the machines is crucial in order to ensure optimum operating conditions in the long term and avoid potential production downtime.
