FEATURED STORY

There are many winding machines that do not use closed-loop tension control in the winding process. Hopefully these open-loop torque control winding systems take care to consider torque losses, such as rolling resistance or inertial losses during acceleration and deceleration. Web handling expert Tim Walker explains how they work and why it's important to have an optional web path from slitting to winding that includes tension measurement.

 

The Society of Vacuum Coaters (SVC) TechCon is a forum for the interchange of information between those engaged in the use and development of vacuum coatings for large- and small-scale applications.

The EasyWeb Torque Controller is an open-loop control device for maintaining a set tension during web winding or unwinding operations. Unlike DFE's tension controllers that take an input signal from tension transducers (load cells), web tension with the EasyWeb™ is maintained by controlling motor or brake torque based on the calculated variation of roll diameter as a roll is wound or unwound. An inertia compensation parameter is provided to obtain greater control of web tension during changes in line speed.
