TRA (Tracking Rolls Additional)



Tracking Rolls Additional (TRA) – Precision Support for Corona Treater Systems

The Tracking Rolls Additional (TRA) by ElectroTech Industries is an advanced component designed to optimize the performance of any corona treater machine. Engineered for precision web alignment and smooth material handling, TRA units play a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of corona treatment systems used across the printing and packaging industries.

As an essential part of modern surface treatment equipment, TRA ensures consistent film tracking, reduced material wastage, and improved treatment uniformity—making it ideal for plastic surface treatment machines and high-speed production lines.


Why Tracking Rolls Additional (TRA) is Important

In industrial corona treater systems, accurate web alignment is crucial for uniform surface treatment. Misalignment can lead to uneven corona discharge, poor adhesion, and production losses.

The TRA system supports:

  1. Stable web positioning during inline corona treatment
  2. Improved treatment consistency across the film width
  3. Reduced edge damage and material wastage
  4. Enhanced efficiency in film surface treatment machines

TRACKING ROLLER ASSEMBLY

  • The web can be fed over the TRA in A ‘U’ shaped path, reversing its direction of travel, or through the TRA in a ‘Z’ configuration, maintaining the same direction of travel
  • It is insensitive to attitude and can even be mounted upside down.
  • Solidly supported on all four corners by nylaguide bearings, it is not subject to deflections caused by cantilever stresses.
  • Radial bearings are sealed, and linear bearings are self – cleaning and self – lubrication.
  • Standard adapter bases consists of a stationary floor mounted frame or plate, a four unit, standard nylaguide bearing and support system, and a moving frame of plate.
  • A heavy duty servo cylinder is nested between the frames and the nylaguide bearings.
  • The servo cylinder moves the upper adapter base plate back and forth in response to hydraulic signals from the power unit.

THE PRINCIPLE

  • The TRA is designed so that is swings in an arc laterally, pivoting about an imaginary pivot point located exactly in the plane of the entering web path.
  • The servo cylinder swings the other end of the frame, moving the outgoing web laterally back into the desired web path.
  • It can be installed successfully on lines handling fragile materials such as parchment paper, thin metal foil, or saturated paper even.

Advantages of Using TRA in Corona Treatment Systems

  1. Ensures uniform surface treatment across the web
  2. Improves adhesion quality for inks and coatings
  3. Enhances overall print and lamination performance
  4. Reduces downtime and material rejection
  5. Increases productivity in flexible packaging industry applications
