This provides them an economical solution for processing materials from both 3`` and 6`` cores. Shoulder Stops Optional core stop shoulders are available on all models at no additional cost. The chuck can be pre-positioned on the core bar. By butting the core to the shoulder stop, the core and process material is always in the same exact position when winding or unwinding begins. Support Idler Also available for all models are Hydralign`s core support idlers, which we recommend for those operations where the torque requirements do not require the use of two gripping chucks. This cost saving core support idler assures that the outside diameter of the core bar and the inside diameter of the core itself, remain relatively constant and parallel. Hydralign`s tapered urethane chucks are available for use with 2`` and 3`` I.D. cores. They provide another economical method for gripping paper cores. COR-Safe Safety Chucks Hydralign COR-SAFE safety chucks, designed and manufactured in the USA, are built with years of experience and research in new ideas aimed at the improvement of safety chuck capability. COR-SAFE chucks provide superior roll support and torque transmission for your web processing line. CNC manufactured interchangeable parts minimize downtime resulting in long-term production cost savings. Hardened replaceable jaw sockets allow for core shaft interchangeability and easy replacement. A unique finger guard is standard on all models, eliminating pinch point problems. Hydralign COR-SAFE Safety Chucks are available for immediate shipment in light and medium duty models, both foot and flange mount. Static Consumer Material: Wound inner core and lame fingers or needles are made from 100% electrolytic copper. Construction: Solidly spun creating a strong cable with a maximum number of lame fingers to attract stray static and carry it to ground. Installation: Locate Hydralign`s static consumer close to the area creating the static condition. fasten the copper mounting brackets so that the strand or strands of static consumer span the contaminated region. One of the copper mounting brackets must be fastened to and electrical earth ``ground``. The ground receives the static from the static consumer and dissipates it. If the machine frame is grounded, you can mount onto the frame itself. Otherwise, a ground must be provided. Steel, brass, or copper water pipes provide an excellent ground as well. A steel stake driven into a concrete floor is often used as a ground.
