Discussion on Ribbon Slitting Technology Affecting Ribbon Quality

Barcode ribbons require professional technical support from the research and development of raw material formula, application to coating, final cutting, and even assembly and printing. Today we will talk about the technical essentials in the Ribbon cutting process and its impact on the finished ribbon.

Each roll of high-quality carbon ribbon with good compatibility and clear printing effect is the result of excellence in the cutting process. In addition to advanced slitting equipment, a carbon ribbon slitting manufacturer with high-quality carbon ribbon slitting ability also needs a clean and dust-free slitting workshop environment and a group of high-quality slitting technical personnel.

1. Imported slitting equipment is the technical guarantee for high-quality carbon ribbon slitting.
The width is measured in millimeters, and the carbon ribbon with a length of hundreds or even thousands of meters cannot be quickly and accurately cut into small rolls without an advanced carbon ribbon slitting machine. The production speed of the previous generation carbon ribbon slitting machine is 30% slower than that, and the width ± tolerance of the slitting ribbon cannot be precisely controlled. The improved and more advanced slitting equipment can not only perfectly meet the needs of fast slitting, but also strictly control the quality of ribbon slitting. Among them, the tension of the carbon ribbon slitting machine and the flatness of the carbon ribbon during rewinding are the key points of production control.

1. Tension control of ribbon cutting
The tension control of the carbon ribbon cutting affects the tightness of the carbon ribbon rewinding. When the tension is too high, the PET base film of the carbon ribbon will be stretched and damaged, which will cause physical changes in the ink layer attached to the base film, and the carbon ribbon will easily be produced. The quality problem of falling toner affects the printing effect, and even produces serious quality problems that the falling toner pollutes the product.

If the tension is not enough when the ribbon is cut, the ribbon is prone to wrinkle, resulting in poor printing such as white lines and indentations during printing. Ribbon rewinding tension that is too loose can also lead to quality problems such as tube core offset and ribbon slipping during transportation or installation of the finished ribbon.

Each newly purchased carbon ribbon slitting machine needs a lot of debugging work after installation, and finds the most suitable tension range during the debugging process. The data of this tension range is the key data for technicians to carry out equipment maintenance in the later stage.

2. Flatness control during ribbon rewinding
Everyone knows that the base of the carbon ribbon is a PET film. During the printing process, because the barcode printer will also adjust the tension, there will be a large tensile force between the supply shaft and the recovery shaft. At this time, the carbon ribbon will be stressed. It should be uniform so that it is not easy to break. Therefore, when the carbon ribbon is rewound, the carbon ribbon must be completely flat and kept parallel to the die, so that the edge of the carbon ribbon will be evenly stressed during the printing process, and it is not easy to break. If the stress point is on the edge of the ribbon, the ribbon is easy to break. The uneven rewinding of the ribbon will also cause wrinkles during the printing process, white lines, indentations and other poor printing.

2. Clean and dust-free cutting environment
A roll of high-quality carbon ribbon requires not only excellent production equipment, but also a clean production environment. The carbon ribbon is easy to absorb dust in the air during the production process, and the carbon ribbon polluted by dust is prone to produce white spots when printing. The slitting workshop of the carbon ribbon needs to be equipped with a dust-free floor, and at the same time maintain a suitable temperature and humidity to reduce the impact of dust. production impact.

3. Professional personnel quality
Professional carbon ribbon cutting technicians not only need to be skilled in operating equipment, but also have a serious and responsible attitude. Excellent products come from the unremitting pursuit of excellence.
