Cutting Through the Problem: A Smart Slitting Solution for the Wipes Industry

In the nonwoven and wipes industry, precise slitting is vital to ensure consistent product quality and reduce waste. However, manual knife and counter knife setups are prone to errors due to mechanical tolerances, blade wear, and operator variability—especially during blade changes or recipe shifts. These issues often lead to cutting failures, scrap, and downtime. Responding to feedback from customers, a new automated slitting system has been developed that detects and corrects the offset between each blade pair in real time. Unlike conventional systems, it adjusts each tool set individually and retains optimal settings after maintenance, reducing operator intervention and setup time. The system’s advantages include improved roll quality, longer blade life, and more stable production. With proven performance in live environments, it offers a practical, retrofit-ready solution to the slitting challenges unique to the wipes sector.
