Davis-Standard to be Systems Integrator for Novel EDI Flat Die
Die uses motorized lip-adjustment, said to be three to five times faster than heated-bolt adjustments.
Davis-Standard has announced it will be the systems integrator of the Nordson EDI Prodigi die system, said to be a more responsive automatic profile control (APC) die for cast film, sheet and extrusion coating. The die, which was tested and proven at Davis-Standard’s lab in Fulton, N.Y., is three to five times faster than previous heated die bolt type systems. The new APC uses a direct motorized bolt adjustment for instant die-lip adjustment vs. slower responding heaters used in current thermal bolt models.

“The Prodigi die, when integrated with Davis-Standard’s control system, is able to achieve APC control specification in a few minutes compared to more than 10 minutes when using a heated die bolt, depending on the situation. We look forward to demonstrating these results to the industry and integrating the Prodigi™ die into our machinery portfolio,” notes Rick Keller, Davis-Standard’s v.p. market development for Converting Systems. “Being the process control system integrator of Nordson in this endeavor as well as other vendors for major developments enables us to deliver value-added technology to our customers.”
