CR300 / CR500 Cradle Feed Spreading System (CRA-635-655) Eastmans top-of-the-line CR spreaders feature a programmable microprocessor controller and a cradle-feed design that provides superior tension control, fast and easy roll loading and automatic threading. Digital push buttons makes the CR spreaders easy to program. The multi-program computer control allows storage of up to 30 programmed spreads. To set the spread length, the operator simply drives the machine to the start and end points of the spread, pushes a button, at each end, and then enters the number of plys required on the keypad. Loading and threading is just as easy. The cradle tilts back, the exhausted rolls core is removed and the next roll dumped in. The operator presses a button, the machine threads itself. The CR spreaders can be configured to spread face-to-face, face-up one way, and face-to-face cutting at both ends. The spreaders can spread virtually any material from Lycra® and stretchy materials to canvas and denim. The tension control adjusts automatically to eliminate stretching of materials.
