The Air Turn Bar discharges air from the holes on its surface and raises the base material using the discharge pressure to carry it in a contactless manner.
Special features
・Non-contact, preventing scratches, creases and static electricity
・Capable of stably raising and carrying the material thanks to it being lifted only 1 to 2 mm on average
・Extremely low discharge airspeed of 1 to 5 m/sec, preventing twisting and fluttering
・Capable of continuous transport with extremely low tension
・Unaffected by the transport speed
・No need for bearings thanks to the non-rotating body, causing no mechanical loss
・Capable of working as a drying furnace by discharging hot air (420ºC heat resistance)
・Capable of preventing scratches due to a difference in rotational direction between the base material and guide rolls during a directional change
Use
・Non-contact transport of non-porous base materials
・Heating/cooling
・Alternative to guide rolls
Examples of applicable base materials
Resin films (e.g., PET, PP, TAC), optical films, metal foils, rubber sheets, fabrics, substrates, etc.
