Key Engineering Advantages

High Speed Fieldbus

Enables rapid synchronization of converting rollers.

High Current Capacity

Specialized resistance capabilities for heating elements.

Extended Lifetime

Engineered to minimize maintenance in high-speed continuous processes.

Converting machinery—used for manufacturing paper products, plastic films, textiles, packaging materials, and hygiene products like diapers—operates at high speeds and under intense, continuous duty cycles. These systems rely on rotary joints to feed electrical heating elements (for lamination or sealing) and transmit real-time data from rotating sensors back to the central PLC.

Industrial Demands in Converting Operations

  • High-Speed Fieldbus Transmission
    High-baud-rate networks like EtherCAT, PROFINET, or CANopen must pass through the rotating joint without packet loss or signal distortion.
  • High Mechanical Speeds
    Operating continuously at high rotational speeds (RPM) while maintaining contact life.
  • Power Capacity
    Driving heavy current loads for thermal sealers or electrostatic chargers.

Customized Through-Bore Slip Ring for Converting Lines

  • High-Speed Fieldbus Integration
    Special internal shielding and impedance matching for error-free 1000 Mbps Ethernet communication.
  • Through-Bore Flexibility
    Large inner diameters (up to 100 mm) to wrap around large drive shafts.
  • High-Current Transmission
    Dedicated high-power circuits (up to 60A/100A) coupled with low-current signal channels.
  • Extended Wear Life
    Multi-fiber brush technology ensuring over 100 million maintenance-free revolutions, reducing expensive factory downtime.
