About Delta ModTech
40 Years of Quality Engineering and Service
From our founding in 1978 as a service provider for servo systems and motion control in the machine tool industry, to today’s technology of full production Delta ModTech converting and packaging lines, Delta ModTech has successfully pursued excellence in the design, implementation, and service of motion-controlled converting and packaging systems.
Our Mission
Thriving on Challenge
We’ve been taking on the tough jobs from day one. We started in web converting with the challenge to build a better web converter than the line shafted machines of the time. Our founder, Dave Schiebout, knew that computer control and servo drives would provide more flexibility, speed and tighter tolerances than any line shafted machine… but it had never been done. “It would never work.”
Instead of listening to naysayers, we prevailed with the first Delta converter. Through software development we found the heart of each converter, the control system. Coupled with solid mechanics, a new bar had been set. Digital control is the future and it’s a platform we’ve been building off ever since.
Reduce Risk
When you face new challenges each day, you can’t waste time starting from scratch each time. We knew we needed to have the basics down to take on new challenges so we used our engineering expertise to develop a platform of converting modules that are flexible, proven and robust.
Each new project follows the same process: pick out the high risk and difficult to manufacture areas, review requirements, add our proven modules and present a solution with confidence. Quick turnaround, punctual communication and shorter lead times gets your product to market fast.
If your product or materials are still in the development phase, our in-house R&D facility gives us the ability to prove we can do it. Through our Proof of Principle Process, we can take your materials in-house and develop a manufacturing solution that will meet production requirements. This can be a detrimental part of the process and can help with our customers to develop material.
Service, Service, Service
Service has always been our top priority. Whether it be changes in process, hardware, software or troubleshooting, we have built a culture around serving our customers. We know that every minute of downtime cost money, so we do whatever it takes to get them up and running. When you call us, you will talk to a live, experienced service representative who has intimate knowledge of your machine. Our software allows us to connect to your machine through the internet to perform software upgrades and troubleshooting without the cost associated with expensive service visits.
Our greatest asset, our team.
To ensure that we meet our customer’s challenging needs, we strive to employ the most creative and innovative individuals. Delta ModTech’s hiring and management practices empower individuals, who are open to change and growth; we are always interested in ways to improve. Delta ModTech is well versed in the latest technology; our engineers are driven to maintain and expand their engineering knowledge through hands-on experience as well as continuing education and product training.
Our History
40 Years of Delta ModTech
- Founded in 1978 by President David Schiebout, Delta ModTech began as a retrofitter of small mills and lathes in the machine tool industry, installing computer controls on manually-operated machinery.
- 1983 - To capitalize on the increase in productivity offered through computer automation and the use of servo motors, Delta ModTech expanded in 1983 into the automation controls and converting industry.
- 1986 - Delta ModTech became a full fledged systems integrator, committed to solving motion control automation problems. We expanded our staff and facilities in order to provide state of the art hardware, software, electronic and mechanical systems.
- 1989 - In the late 80's Delta ModTech focused on developing and perfecting the our ModTech line of process modules. These modules allow our systems the flexibility needed for a variety of web converting, automation and packaging applications.
- 1990 - In the early 1990's Delta ModTech introduced the Delta Crusader. We saw the need for a standard 10" web converting machine driven entirely by servo motors - the vision was to be a flexible system for R&D departments, but the machine was so robust and flexible it was used in many manufacturing facilities world wide.
- Masters in Motion for over 30 years.
- 1993 - Delta ModTech rolled out our rotary heat seal module and a new line of modular in-line web packaging systems for 12" and 18" web widths.
- 2001 - Delta ModTech released an updated Delta Crusader Converter. The new release included the use of Windows NT or 2000 operation system. In addition, each independently driven axis of the converter boasted new motor and drive packages which eliminated gear reduction, improved low-end tension control, and provided tighter registration control.
- 2004 - The Delta ModTech Reciprocating Heat Seal Module was introduced in 2004. This new addition to the Delta ModTech module "tool box" offers customers a more accurate seal and permits a variety of patterns.
- 2005 - Delta ModTech continues to grow and expands our network with new service and sales office in Europe.
- 2006 - Delta ModTech offers even more flexibility in 2006 with the addition of the Spectrum Finishing System. The Spectrum is a flexible press that may be used off-line as a finishing line for digitally printed web or inline with an integrated Digital Printer.
- 2008 - Delta unveils the Delta Edge Laser Technology, a high powered laser die cutting module that can be added to any machine in Delta Mod-Tech family. The laser module provides flexibility of automated station changes and can even be stationed out of the way to provide use of all stations on the converter.
- Converting and Pouching line with Integrated Case Packer
- 2012 - Delta ModTech unveiled their 18-24" Delta Crusader® Plus converting system. This high capacity converting solutions offers a full modular platform for the finishing of wider webs and larger parts.
- Registration Controlled by the MOD-TRACK™ Vision System
