Rolle-zu-Rolle-Walzmaschine R2R

automatisiertmit RollenschneiderIndustrie

Short description
The Crest R2R Laminator Slitter combines protective and functional lamination, heavy-duty shear-cut trimming and precision tension-controlled rewinding in a single continuous workflow. One pass, one operator, one finished roll. Originally engineered for printed PET on self-adhesive PE foam and thin PVC. Configurable around a broader range of printed roll materials and converting requirements.

Three functions — one pass

• Laminate — Apply protective films and functional layers in one workflow. Adjustable, heatable laminating rollers handle a wide range of substrates and adhesive systems including self-adhesive PE foam, thin PVC backing and protective laminates over UV-cured, latex, solvent and eco-solvent printed media.
• Trim — Heavy-duty pneumatic shear-cut trimming that cleanly cuts thick PVC and other tough substrates without cracking or deforming, delivering precise, consistent finished widths.
• Rewind — Automated web tension regulation via a closed feedback loop from unwind through to precision rewind. High torque on the unwind for rigid substrates and delicate, controlled handling at rewind to protect print and laminate quality.

Where is it used?

• Print finishing & sticker production — converting printed PVC and PET onto self-adhesive PE foam or thin PVC, sticker and decal converting, vehicle wrap production, industrial label finishing.
• Wide format & decorative roll media — wallcoverings, canvas, banners and floor graphics; functional foam backing for decorative wallpapers; protective lamination for canvas, banners and floor graphics.
• Custom configurations — specialty printed roll materials, technical substrates and converting setups beyond standard configurations; configured around material, web width and production process.

Best suited for

• Manufacturers of printed wallcoverings and decorative wallpapers
• Producers of canvas, banner and floor graphic roll media
• Wide format print finishers converting roll-printed output
• Specialty roll material converters with custom requirements
• Production lines where downstream converting steps are fragmented
• Operations where print quality on the rewound roll is critical
• Manufacturers integrating functional backing as part of finishing

Suitable materials and inks

• Printed wallcoverings, decorative wallpapers
• Canvas prints, banner media, floor graphics
• Printed PVC and PET, self-adhesive vinyl
• Foam backing layers and specialty printed media
• UV-cured, latex, solvent and eco-solvent printed substrates

Additional product details
The platform is configurable: web width, lamination setup, trimming configuration, backing application and rewind tension are adapted to your material and production process. Integrated PLC + HMI control. The R2R platform reduces handling, eliminates alignment errors between stations and delivers finished rolls with consistent edge quality and roll structure.

Frequently asked points

• The machine integrates lamination, heavy-duty shear-cut trimming and precision tension-controlled rewinding into a single continuous workflow and is configurable for a wide range of printed roll materials.
• Automated web tension regulation uses a closed feedback loop to detect and adjust tension across unwind, lamination, trimming and rewind stages.
• The heavy-duty construction and high-torque capability prevent cracking or deformation of thick rigid substrates while also enabling precise handling of delicate media.
