The application
What the equipment is for.
The roll-converting study develops material feed, guide rollers, slitting positions and rewinding into one mechanical layout. Its enclosure and roll arrangements show an alternative configuration within QDM’s cutting and winding work. Material behaviour and the finished roll format determine the required web path, tooling and tension-control scope.

- Slitting and rewinding development
- Custom roll-converting equipment

Use these notes to define the application before choosing the final equipment configuration.
Working principle
A roll converting system moves a continuous material through an agreed operation and into a collected roll or other output. Unwind, guiding and rewind are separate mechanical functions. Slitting systems illustrate how a wide web can be divided and rewound, but the QDM converting concept should be scoped from the actual material and required treatment.
Configuration decisions
State web width, thickness, flexibility and surface sensitivity. The incoming roll and final roll dimensions affect supports and handling. Tension must suit the material throughout the process; a configuration for a stiff strip may not work for a stretchable film or textile. Identify whether slitting, coating, inspection or another operation is required before selecting modules.
Planning the first build
Development should begin with a material-path drawing and representative web samples. Review guiding, contact marks, tension adjustment and the final roll condition at the intended operating points. Agree a method for loading rolls and accessing the working zone. QDM can coordinate a custom frame and modules around the specified conversion task, with speed and output verified for that configuration.
Project-specific technical parameters
Values to define before the build.
The table identifies the reference arrangement and the values to agree for your application.
| Parameter | Configuration / value | Confirm before manufacture |
|---|---|---|
| Web material | Client-specific roll-fed material | Provide sample and properties |
| Web width and thickness | Defined in mm | Review support and process zone |
| Incoming roll | Diameter, core and mass as specified | Confirm mounting and loading |
| Conversion task | Application-specific operation | Define module sequence |
| Tension | Defined in N or agreed control basis | Review stretch and surface sensitivity |
| Final roll or output | Configured to the requirement | Agree collection geometry |
| Operating speed | Defined in m/min | Verify with material and operation |
