ROCKFORD IL—The new Martin Automatic MBSC splicer combined with an STR rewind provides roll automation for label presses with webs up to 13” for around $100,000.

Running at speeds up to 500 FPM the new MBSC / STR combo is a practical and affordable upgrade that significantly boosts productivity and reduces materials waste for more profitable operations. Ideal for retrofit and new installations, the MBSC / STR combo can be shipped within six weeks of order.

Gavin Rittmeyer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said, “The new MBSC / STR , as a combo package, costs around $100,000, and that puts roll automation within reach of most narrow web label printers. The MBSC is not a cheaper version of our high-performance MBS splicer. The MBSC and the MBS share the same operator and time savings convenience features; however, the MBSC has been specifically designed for narrower web-widths up to 13 inches (330mm) and smaller roll diameters up to 31.5 inches (800mm). That means the MBSC / STR combo is a great fit for the majority of label presses in use today! It’s affordable, it’s practical and it’s a smart upgrade that quickly delivers greater production from your current or new equipment. If you thought roll automation simply wasn’t practical for your operation because of the cost—then it’s time for another look. You’re going to like what you see. The Martin MBSC / STR combo is an industry game changer.”

Based upon the MBS splicer, the MBSC has the same patented rolling-shear splice unit, lift-and-load roll loading from the aisle, automatic roll sidelay for splice alignment and inertia-compensated festoon. Also like the MBS, the MBSC will splice automatically on manual push-button initiation; on operator-adjustable, automatic roll diameter calculation; or by tail-grabber initiation as the web separates from the core for minimum waste/maximum material usage.
