Delta hosts seminars and product demos at open house

Delta Industrial Services unveiled several new process demonstrations and hosted a variety of educational seminars during its recent Technology Showcase which took place on March 31 to April 1, 2010. The two-day open house attracted over 120 visitors from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Asia and the UK.  

Delta, along with participation from partners such as 3M, Hewlett Packard, MGS Machine, LasX, International Financial Services, Innovize, Cognex, DMS and Rotometrics, covered many aspects of web converting, packaging and finishing for digital print. The event began with a welcome from Delta’s owner and president, Dave Schiebout. Wendy Stromberg, the company’s marketing manager and the MC of the event, discussed Delta’s dedication to confidentiality. The keynote speaker of the afternoon was converting industry expert Timothy J. Walker, who discussed the importance of good tension control and uniform nipping. He also reviewed several best practices for measuring and maintaining contact tension control.  

 Delta unveiled the Spectrum II finishing system, while other demonstrations included Edge laser technology, aimed at cutting complex geometries, perforation and laser ablation. A Spectrum finishing system was set up with a RotoMetrics Multi Score flex die to die-cut and score a custom carton which was designed by HP and printed on an HP Indigo press.  

Medical, pharmaceutical and contract converters watched the Delta Mod-Tech web converting system running in-line with the Delta reciprocating heat-seal packager, teamed up with the MGS vertical counter/stacker. The system ran a wound care product, which was then heat-sealed in a foil pouch and stacked for cartoning.
