Designed for use with the Lawson Mustang, Apache and Seneca flat-bed
presses, the Companion automates movement of the substrate from the
press while preventing material damage and press stopping substrate
jams. The Lawson Companion Take-Off has a patented release system that
virtually eliminates "paper-hang" so you save time, labor and money
while dramatically increasing production.
GRIPPER RELEASE SYSTEM
Simply put, all other systems open the grippers, "hoping" the weight of
the substrate overcomes inertia fast enough to prevent paper hang. The
patented Lawson Companion gripper system, mechanically forces and
directs the substrate down towards the conveyor. The lower gripper is
moved out of the way, as the upper gripper pushes the stock downward
which prevents the problems commonly associated with stock release. The
Lawson Companion Take-Off smoothly and directly ejects the stock from
the gripper, depositing the stock on the receiving conveyor--with
minimal paper-hang.
Lawson's unique timing belt drive system provides the smoothest,
most quiet and reliable system available. At last there is a take-off
that has no chain, needs no maintenance and eliminates chain drag/sag
noise.
