Defective labels pose significant challenges for manufacturers, leading to unanticipated production costs and wasted materials. However, with the Stanford Doctor Machine, you can effectively salvage these labels and significantly reduce your operating expenses. The Stanford DM 142 series is designed specifically for the converting industry, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution to various production issues.

Salvage Defective Labels with the Stanford DM 142 Series

The Stanford Doctor Machines are engineered to tackle a range of problems associated with defective labels, including:

• Removal of defective stock
• Repair of splices
• Re-tensioning of loose rolls
• Edge trimming
• Butt roll rewinding

Stanford DM 142 LT

The Stanford DM 142 LT Doctor Machine excels in handling a diverse array of materials that require light tension winding, such as polyethylene, polyester, polypropylene, film laminates, metallized films, and light papers. With a maximum web speed of up to 1,000 fpm (300 mpm), this model efficiently identifies and rectifies defective labels while performing essential tasks such as edge-trimming, web-guiding, and re-tensioning rolls of non-extensible materials including paper, film, foil, and laminates.

Stanford DM 142 HD

For those needing a robust solution, the Stanford DM 142 HD model accommodates a broader range of materials, including papers, self-adhesive label stock, polystyrene, and stable film laminates. This machine provides effective methods for salvaging defective materials while ensuring high operational efficiency.

Enhanced Features for Optimal Performance

Stanford engineers have meticulously designed each Doctor Machine to boost efficiency and usability. Key features include a cantilevered design that eliminates the need for shaft handling, automatic tension control, and advanced web guides for high-quality output. Additional enhancements such as a rider roll for density control and web break detection minimize downtime, ensuring smooth operations.

Both models are programmable, allowing for precise control over stopping lengths. The dancer lock feature provides a soft tension start, and the unwind control station capabilities facilitate seamless operation. The DM 142 HD also offers advanced features like a bowed roll for improved web separation after slitting, an AC vector drive system, and pneumatic trimming to elevate performance even further.
