Product catalog summary
Overview
The MEGTEC ETI Infeed is designed for precise, responsive, and reliable web tension control in shafted operations. It utilizes a compensating dancer to detect changes in web tension and employs a magnetic drive for active tension control through torque rather than velocity.

Key Features
  • Compensating Dancer: A pneumatically driven, low-inertia dancer quickly compensates for tension fluctuations, ensuring smooth operation even with out-of-round rolls.
  • Torque Control: The system uses torque control instead of drive speed, providing a faster and more precise tension control.
  • Magnetic Clutch and Drive: This feature ensures even power transmission and rapid response, allowing precise electronic control of nip roll torque.
  • Web Alignment: Compatible with most web aligners, which can be integrated or freestanding.

Standard Features
  • Adjustable output tension
  • Drive nip rolls
  • Solid-state controls
  • Magnetic drives
  • Pneumatic tension dancer
  • Low-inertia dancer system

Available Options
  • Remote tension adjustment
  • Remote digital tension output display

Specifications
  • Maximum Speed: 1,500 fpm (7.5 m/s)
  • Web Widths: 27–50 inches (685–1,270 mm)
  • Web Tension Stability: ±1.2 lbs (±0.54 daN)
  • Minimum Tension: 11 lbs (5 daN)
  • Maximum Tension: 250 lbs (110 daN)

ETI  Shafted infeed-1

Precise, Responsive, Reliable Web Tension Control for Shafted Operations he MEGTEC ETI Infeed uses a compensating dancer to detect web tension changes. The dancer activates an instant response from the systems magnetic drive. Unlike other systems, the MEGTEC ETI Infeed controls tension by torque rather than by velocity. The result is active rather than reactive tension control. The MEGTEC ETI Shafted Infeed delivers smooth, fast, reliable web tension control over a wide range of operating conditions. Unlike other systems, the ETI provides active tension control through magnetic drive at the nip rolls. This allows the ETI to provide accurate control over a wide range of tensions. All models feature advanced electronic controls for instant response and extended service life. The bottom line is process knowledge >
