Tension Controllers are designed to maintain constant
tension throughout a vast range of applications and
process speeds. The system includes a mini belt wrap
capstan, a tension transducer, an AC Drive, AC Motor,
and a self-tuning closed-loop Digital PID control system.

The Controller provides user access to set the desired
tension and displays the actual running tension of the
wire. The tension transducer measures the actual
running tension of the wire or cable while the controller
adjusts the AC motor in order to achieve desire
tensions.

The progressive multi-stage dampening system
reduces tension spikes without inducing secondary
oscillations to the wire exiting the capstan wheel. These
features all contribute to the elimination of the tension
variation due to whipping fluctuations common to dual
flyer payoffs.
