Static Control Improves the WX/5Si Insertion Press and Removal Press
SANFORD, N.C. — Static Control Components (SCC)
re-cently released up-dated versions of the WX/5Si mag roller insertion press
and mag roller removal press. Static Control improved these presses to make it
even easier to insert and remove mag roller sleeves. Both of these presses are
also fully qualified for the HP 8100.
Static Control engineers improved the WX/5Si mag roller
insertion press by lengthening the press lever to provide better leverage. This
new spring-loaded lever eliminates the need to recalibrate the press.
“More importantly,” said Michael Cox, Static
Control product manager, “the spring-loaded lever reduces, if not
eliminates, damage to the roller because it does not apply excess
pressure.”
Remanufacturers can assemble remanufactured or factory-new
mag roller sleeves in a simple one-handed operation. This precision
installation greatly diminishes the risk of out-of-round defects that can cause
print problems. Constructed
of heavy-duty aluminum, the WX/5Si mag roller insertion
press is designed
for non-stop performance in demanding recharging operations.
The improved WX/5Si mag roller removal press now has a
rubber liner to facilitate the gripping action and reduce the possibility of
over-clamping, which can damage the mag roller sleeve. The outer rim of the
press is also protected with felt to help eliminate denting or scratching when
inserting the roller into the clamp. Easy to operate and calibrated for
precision, the WX/5Si removal press will save remanufacturers time and money in
mag roller processing operations.
