Collapsible Core Promises Long Service Life, Flexibility
DME's S-Collapsible cores can be configured as small as 6 mm or as large as 400 mm.
DME says its S-Collapsible core’s multiple segment configuration allows the system to be as small as 6 mm or as large as 400 mm. Besides rounds, different geometries, including ovals and squares can be incorporated into the S-Cores. Multiple cores can be integrated into one set of retaining plates to reduce spacing in between the units. Each core incorporates protective stops to prevent the folding segments from touching each other even if it has over traveled. DME will be exhibiting at (Sept. 21-23; Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Ill.)

DME’s S-Collapsible cores come in multiple configuration formats.
