OverviewThe Crest R2R Laminator Slitter combines protective and functional lamination, heavy-duty shear-cut trimming and precision tension-controlled rewinding in a single continuous workflow. Configurable around web width, material and production process. One pass, one operator, one finished roll. Originally engineered for printed PET on self-adhesive PE foam and thin PVC, configurable for a broader range of printed roll materials and converting requirements.
Key platform features- Roll-to-roll converting integrated with lamination, trimming and rewind
- Heavy-duty pneumatic shear-cut trimming for thick and rigid substrates
- Automated web tension regulation via closed feedback loop (unwind through rewind)
- Adjustable, heatable laminating rollers handling a wide range of substrates and adhesive systems
- High torque unwind for rigid substrates and delicate handling at rewind
- Configurable platform: web width, lamination setup, trimming configuration, backing application and rewind tension
- PLC + HMI control
Three functions. One pass.- 01 / Laminate — Apply protective films and functional layers in one workflow: self-adhesive PE foam, thin PVC backing, protective laminate over UV-cured, latex, solvent and eco-solvent printed media. Adjustable, heatable laminating rollers handle diverse substrates and adhesive systems.
- 02 / Trim — Heavy-duty pneumatic shear-cut trimming. Cleanly cuts the toughest substrates, including thick PVC, without breaking, deforming or cracking material; provides precise, consistent finished width straight off the line.
- 03 / Rewind — Automated web tension regulation via a closed feedback loop from unwind through precision rewind. Wide tension range with high torque on unwind and controlled delicate handling at rewind to protect print and laminate quality.
