Insights by our experts
New roll-to-roll printing technologies.
Exploiting air bearings in roll-to-roll. Non-contact, almost zero friction, and no static build-up benefits production processes.
Contactless shape manipulation of thin substrates.
How can you shape substrates to your wishes without even touching them. Read how the magic is done.
Contactless handling, flattening and stabilization of webs.
In roll-to-roll processes for printed electronics, avoiding web contact is critical to reduce damage and contamination. Air bearings deliver contactless, precision control for printing, drying and inspection processes.
