Specialty Systems

You need a partner who understands the nuances of complex web material handling systems—not someone dabbles and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in all thing’s web converting. From complex low-tension webs to precision guiding of multiple webs together, and never forgetting the fundamentals of good web design, we live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Custom closed loop tension control systems
2. The effects of inertia and how to manage it
3. How to keep even tension in step and repeat indexing systems
4. The use of delicate glass and diaphragm cylinders in low tension dancer setups
5. Strong machine design skills with the electrical, mechanical and controls disciplines under one roof

Common pitfalls of complex web converting systems that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not understanding the devil is in the details
2. Encountering bottlenecks that prevent you from making rate
3. Choosing the wrong material handling options

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve seen our share of specialty web converting machine problems, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make custom web converting machines successful.

Our converting solutions start with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in a custom converting solution. You want a bespoke converting solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom web converting machine can get built and you can get that win.
