Catalog excerpts

Simple & Compact Design he Infeed / Outfeed is a freestanding automatic web tension unit, based on an ABB control system with feedback of the web tension (closed loop). The in/outfeed roller is driven by an AC-motor and covered with a special high friction surface. The tension is controlled by a loadcell roller towards the printing unit. External speed is recommended for optimal tension at high speed.The unit is designed to be able to handle entering/exiting web angles in various directions. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The unit is prepared for single or double web-up tape. It is also internally wired, piped and connection to a terminal strip/pneumatic supply can easily be done by the customer. The bottom line is process knowledge >
