Web Control Products for Hygiene Products Industry

Arise has over two decades of expertise in web control, covering the entire hygiene products processing chain — from raw material unwinding to finished product packaging, including diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products. Our solutions are widely used for nonwovens, films, release papers and other materials, ensuring stable web handling and precision at high speeds with seamless line integration.

Hygiene lines combine multiple layers — topsheet, core, backsheet, etc. — through lamination and cutting, requiring precise alignment at high speeds. Wandering, tension fluctuation, or surface defects in any layer can cause product skew, dimensional issues, or scrap. Arise’s guiding, tension, and inspection systems reduce waste, stabilize quality, and lower labor costs, helping manufacturers maintain efficiency and product quality in continuous high-speed production.

Raw Material Unwinding
Multi-layer Lamination & Core Formation

Self-adhesive label production typically involves the precise handling and processing of multiple web materials, including facestock, release liners, and adhesive layers, each of which plays an important role in the final label performance and quality. Throughout the unwinding process, various factors such as changes in roll diameter, differences in material thickness and elasticity, fluctuations in production speed, and variations in environmental conditions can significantly affect web tension stability and material alignment. These changes may result in uneven tension distribution, web wrinkles, lateral movement, or positioning deviations, which can negatively impact printing accuracy, die-cutting precision, and overall production efficiency.

To address these challenges, Arise provides advanced tension control and web guiding solutions designed to ensure stable material handling throughout the label manufacturing process. By continuously monitoring and adjusting web tension, Arise’s systems help maintain a consistent web path, improve running stability, and reduce material waste caused by misalignment or process interruptions.

Die-cutting is a critical stage in label manufacturing, as it determines the final shape, dimensional accuracy, and overall performance of finished labels. During this process, precise cutting alignment is required to ensure that label edges, shapes, and patterns meet design specifications while maintaining consistent quality across large production volumes. Any deviation in die-cutting accuracy can affect label appearance, application performance, and production efficiency, especially for complex label designs or high-speed converting operations.

Arise’s real-time web guiding and advanced tension control systems help ensure stable material alignment and consistent web positioning throughout the die-cutting process. By continuously monitoring and adjusting web movement, these solutions minimize lateral deviation, improve cutting registration accuracy, and support efficient waste removal.

Applications of Web Control Products in Hygiene Products Industry

Web Guide System

Single-sensor edge guiding, dual-sensor center guiding, and follow guiding — ensuring precise alignment of all material layers.

Tension Control System

Independent closed-loop tension control at each unwinding unit, preventing stretching and wrinkling from tension mismatch.

Print Inspection System

100% online inspection identifying stains, foreign matter, insects, hair, wrinkles, dimensional deviations and other defects, with linked reject handling.

Thickness Measurement System

Non-contact online thickness measurement, monitoring material thickness uniformity in real time.

FAQs

A: Arise offers three guiding modes for different stations: single-sensor edge guiding for unwinding stations to ensure stable material path; dual-sensor center guiding for lamination stations to ensure center alignment of multiple layers; and follow guiding for stations requiring synchronized dual-layer combining, such as pull-up diaper waistband lamination. Guide systems at each station work independently and collaboratively, ensuring precise positioning of every layer during lamination.

A: Yes. Arise’s Print Inspection System features high-resolution industrial cameras and high-speed image processing algorithms, completing image capture and analysis in milliseconds, with inspection speed matching mainstream hygiene product line speeds. The system achieves 100% online inspection at high speeds without affecting production efficiency.

A: Arise’s Print Inspection System can identify stains, oil stains, insects, hair, foreign fibers, glue residue, wrinkles, folded corners, cotton leakage, uneven materials, dimensional deviations and other defects. The system uses deep learning algorithms trained on extensive datasets of normal and defective samples, reliably identifying various subtle defects against complex backgrounds.

A: Yes. Arise’s system features recipe management — guiding parameters and inspection parameters for different materials can be pre-stored. When changing materials, operators recall the corresponding recipe with one click, and the system automatically switches parameters. The Print Inspection System supports multiple lighting options to meet the inspection needs of different materials.

A: Traditional hygiene product lines require 12 inspectors per inspection station, with miss rates rising significantly after prolonged work. Arise’s Print Inspection System covers the entire line with 24/7 uninterrupted inspection. Industry data shows quality inspection labor costs can be significantly reduced after implementation, while eliminating human errors from fatigue.
