ABOUT TENSION CONTROL
Tension control is paramount for any web handling operation. Improper tension can lead to many material faults and/or poor roll formation. Material wrinkles, web stretching, roll blocking, crushed cores, and telescoping rolls are just a few of the problems associated with improper tension control.
From manual tension control to automatic control using open or closed loop technology, Machinery Design Solutions has the experience to provide the proper tension control solution for your needs.
For continuous web operations, Machinery Design Solutions offers a line of Dancers and Accumulators to tension and store web materials while finished rolls are cut out of the process or new roll are spliced into the process. Our accumulator solutions include pneumatic, counterweighted, and ball-screw driven machinery and are automatically controlled using a tension control/position feedback system.
