Product catalog summary
Introduction
The MEGTEC DLC 5000 Match Speed Splicer is a high-performance paper handling system designed for ultra-high volume commercial printing. It supports splicing speeds up to 3550 fpm (18 m/s) and accommodates roll weights up to 11000 lbs (5000 kg), making it suitable for large format printing.
Key Features and Benefits
  • Compact design for 60” (1524 mm) roll diameters, reducing operating costs through lower paper waste and splice tape consumption.
  • High automation level, allowing for potentially reduced manpower and efficient material handling.
  • Performance benefits include reduced paper waste, high press availability, and virtual elimination of splicer-caused web breaks.
  • Flexibility to handle small roll diameters and damaged rolls, with low web-up tension to minimize web breaks.
Standard Equipment and Features
  • Match speed splicer with split arms for loading two full rolls.
  • Core acceleration and braking by 4 quadrant AC motors, controlled by PLC.
  • Automatic roll alignment and motorized web-up system for fast make-ready.
  • CE compliant with options for remote control and integrated infeed systems.
Operating Specifications
  • Maximum roll weight: 11000 lbs (5000 daN).
  • Maximum running and splicing speed: 3550 fpm (18 m/s).
  • Standard tension range: 18-90 lbs (8-40 daN).
  • Paper weight range: 18-100 lbs (26-150 gsm).
Design and Engineering
  • Utilizes Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology for improved equipment and manufacturing processes.
  • Robust construction to handle increased roll weight and torque requirements.
  • Turret frame concept for compact design while maintaining previous model dimensions.
Tension Control and Roll Loading
  • AC motors with 4 quadrant vector drives for consistent tension control.
  • Linear pneumatic dancer roller assembly for accurate web tension monitoring.
  • Direct roll loading from the floor with automatic chucks for 3” and 6” cores.
Control System and Pasting
  • PLC controlled splicing cycle, tension, and operations with operator screen for status and diagnostics.
  • Simple splice pattern preparation with photo cell detection and simultaneous cut and paste under tension.
Additional Features
  • Automatic roll alignment to prevent web breaks.
  • Integrated infeed and web guide for precise web control.
  • Touch screen control for easy operation and information access.
