Conference Week

Training on the fundamentals of web processing can be as fun as attending the Kentucky Derby! This year, attendees came to Louisville this year to sharpen their knowledge on web alignment, slitting, winding/unwinding and of course tension control. Each day offered an in-depth look at the principles of one aspect of web handling.

Select the individual courses to improve your specific operational needs or attend all sessions! Industry experts from Fife, MAGPOWR, Tidland, and more will teach you how to make the most of what you've got, or help you to determine what improvements you actually need.

Sean Craig shows ways to improve ergonomics in the converting environment and demonstrates the application of winding theory to improve the profitability and quality of a wound roll.

Peter Wood starts the day off with an engaging demonstration of fracture mechanics. Attendees then put the theory to practice, taking a break from the books to interact with a hands-on slitting demonstration.

Darrell Whiteside of MAGPOWR walks attendees through various aspects of Tension Control during the first day of Conference Week 2010 at Graphic Packaging in Louisville, Kentucky.
