TIP F 1740 Replacement of the “Desch” Clutch to a Servo Motor

Over time, after years of intensive daily, around the clock production, the “Desch” clutch wears out or will breakdown in case of a defect. This technology contains a lot of mechanical parts which require a high maintenance effort.

This upgrade from the Technical Improvement Program (TIP) replaces the obsolete “Desch” clutch with a servo drive in the overlapping section.

The servo motor will be mounted directly on the shaft extension of the driving roll in the overlapping section. It is maintenance-free and increases the reliability of the sheeter as there are less mechanical parts used. This results in a more constant paper infeed to the stacker (layboy).
