Splicer Defects - Condition 2

Condition - 2 { Paper web slack on one side } It seems like you're experiencing paper web slack on one side. Let me provide you with some possible causes and remedies for this issue.

One of the primary causes of paper web slack on one side could be the roll stand and paper roll. It's essential to check the roll stand for proper level and alignment to the splicer. Any misalignment could cause uneven tension distribution, resulting in slack on one side.

Another possible reason could be uneven winding of the roll paper or telescoping. It's critical to check for correct paper preparation and ensure the roll is wound evenly to avoid web slack. Adjusting for uneven tension across the prepared web can also help alleviate this issue.

When preparing an out-of-round roll, a tight edge may be seen, even if the splicer preparation has been done correctly. In such cases, pulling up the loose edge by approximately 1/8 inch (6 mm) and holding it in place can help prepare paper for splicing and avoid web slack on one side.

I hope these causes and remedies help you address the issue of paper web slack on one side. Don't hesitate to take the necessary steps to ensure the proper preparation and alignment of paper to avoid any further slack issues.
