Did You Make an Education-Related New Year’s Resolution?

TAPPI Academy recently added two new winding eLearning courses to its offerings that are targeted toward the technical personnel responsible for most any type of web machines. The courses are available for Individual and Company Licensing. For more information about obtaining a Company License to support multiple employees, contact training@tappi.org.

The courses, Web Handling and Converting and Web Winding: Machines, Mechanics and Measurements, utilize comprehensive videos and figure based visuals. They are presented by subject matter expert Dr. David Roisum of Finishing Technologies, a well-known authority in web handling and converting. An accomplished author, professional speaker and instructor, Roisum is noted for his skill in translating highly technical information into a common sense, practical reference.

By completing Web Handling and Converting, students will:

• Learn to eliminate wrinkles, baggy webs and apply effective spreading.
• Learn to eliminate winding defects and troubleshoot a variety of web, web handling and converting issues.
• Be able to design and maintain web machinery, control systems for tension, nip, guiding and design processes for more reliable manufacturing.
• Understand why the web world does what it does

The second course, Web Winding: Machines, Mechanics and Measurements, builds on the foundation established in the first course. The learning outcomes include:

• Eliminate winding defects
• Know whether your defect is manufacturing or winding related or both
• Select and use the proper type of winder and settings for your product
• Design and maintain winding machinery
• Design and maintain winder control systems for tension, nip and torque
• Design and manufacture webs for more reliable winding
• Troubleshoot a variety of web, winding and operational issues

Each course is less than nine hours long, broken into modules that range from 14 minutes to an hour long, so you can learn at your pace, on your schedule.
