Constant Tension Payoffs

Custom designed solutions for all your tensioning needs

As a reel of material pays off, its diameter decreases. With a typical payoff brake this means the tension will gradually rise. To avoid this, an operator is required to manually adjust the brake periodically to avoid stretching or breaking the material. Our new PowerPro tension control system fully automates the payoff process in one of two ways. 1) By measuring the spool diameter thousands of times every second, the PowerPro can continuously adjust the electric hysteresis brake to ensure perfectly constant tension at all times. An ultrasonic measuring probe is used to measure the spool...
