Automatically Compensating Anvil Drive Conversion
Pictures as installed on a WARD 66X113 RDC
This conversion uses a constricting clutch to clamp the anvil drum gear to the journal end.
The clamping pressure is adjustable via an air regulator assembly.
This conversion allows the anvil gear to "slip on the journal when the dieboard cutting knives engage in the anvil blankets so that the anvil drum is driven at EXACTLY the same speed as the dieboard dictates REGARDLESS of the blanket wear or knife penetration.
ADVANTAGES:
- MORE CONSISTENT DIECUTTING
- REDUCED ANVIL BLANKET WEAR
- INCREASED CUTTING DIE LIFE
- FEWER WEAR ITEMS
