Foam Tape
Slitting
High-yield, low-scrap tape slitting
of roll goods on 3" cores. With tolerances as low as +/- .015" and slit width capabilities to .093", PLI offers a complete range of slitting capabilities.
PLI offers "slit
to width" capabilities for customers seeking custom width rolls of pressure sensitive
adhesive tapes. We can convert your adhesive tape into rolls
that meet your customized requirements.
PLI has can slit rolls to custom width.
Material may be razor cut, crush cut, or baloney slit. In
the baloney slitting process, the blade may or may not be
rotating, depending on the material to be cut. Also, the
blade may require a water-cooling substance during the slitting
process to reduce heat.
- Razor cut slitting is a process
that uses single blades. Material is pulled through the
stationary blades, making precise cuts.
- Crush cut or score slitting
is a process whereby circular knives are pressed against
a steel cylinder or mandrel with material being pulled
through, between the knives and the mandrel. Score cutting
is more appropriate for materials of uneven thickness while
razor slitting is best suited for films and thinner materials
with consistent thickness.
The logs of tape may vary in length,
so you are able to design the most appropriate length and
width for your application needs. Rolls of tape may be slit
to as narrow as 1/8" inch width, up to 60" width. Tolerances are typically 1/32" but may vary depending on the material being slit.
