MSK-2150-RD Automatic Roll to Roll Device for Compact Rolling Machines up to 150 mm Width, Argon Glove Box Compatible
The MSK-2150-RD is engineered to facilitate continuous roll-to-roll processing of flexible substrate materials with widths up to 150 mm, suitable for compact rolling or calendaring applications. This device is particularly designed to integrate seamlessly with MTI’s MSK-HRP series tabletop calendaring machines, enabling automated film calendaring workflows with precise tension control.
Its construction includes a brushless torque motor that actively reels the substrate while maintaining a constant tension force adjustable from 0 to 20 N via an infinite switch on the front panel. The unreeling side employs a friction-resistant passive mechanism. The motor’s brushless design ensures safe operation within argon glove box environments by eliminating sparking risks.
Key Features
- Supports flexible substrate widths up to 150 mm; customization available up to 200 mm roller width.
- Brushless torque motor provides adjustable tension control from 0 to 20 N for consistent substrate handling.
- Compatible with MTI MSK-HRP series tabletop calendaring machines for automated roll-to-roll calendaring.
- Operates on 208-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz single-phase power with a maximum consumption of 100 W.
- Designed for safe use in argon glove box environments due to spark-free motor design.
- Maximum roll diameter for reeling and unreeling is 200 mm with 3-inch roller outer diameter.
- Film traverse speed depends on calendaring speed, typically less than 1.5 meters per minute.

Typical Applications
This roll to roll device is ideal for automated calendaring and film processing of flexible substrates in research and development or small-scale production environments. It is particularly suited for use within argon glove boxes where spark-free operation is critical. The system supports substrates such as aluminum or copper foils when paired with compatible rolls.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The device requires a 208-240 VAC power supply; a 220V AC power plug is not included and must be ordered separately. Operation at 110V is possible using a 200W transformer. Optional compatible rolls for substrates under 150 mm width, such as aluminum or copper foil, are available separately. Users must avoid operation in hazardous or flammable environments, including Class I locations, to ensure safety.
