| | .jpg) | WebHandler™ 3 Digital Tension Controller
The compact WebHandler™ 3 Tension Controller combines automated closed-loop process tension control with an easy-to-use keypad interface. The WebHandler™ 3 maintains a pre-selected tension set point on a web machine or press by measuring web tension from a tension transducer, then sending a compensating signal to a tensioning device such as a pneumatic brake, clutch or a DC drive. This closed-loop capability improves process consistency and productivity.
Features include touch-pad setup and calibration, job setup storage and recall, and LCD scroll-through of an array of simple-to-activate functions including push-button rezero. The controller features soft start and bumpless auto/manual switching. It also automatically compensates for speed changes, roll diameter changes and other factors to maintain desired tension. Ten different measurement units are available for expressing a tension reading on the digital display. | |

| | .jpg) | TENSIONMANAGER™ Modular Tension Controller
DFE is proud to introduce the TensionManager™ modular tension controller, a flexible, digital control system, designed to be easily configured for use on web presses and web process machinery. It's a multi-component system that can be purchased in dozens of different arrangements to give machine builders a flexible tension control solution at a low base price.
TensionManager's base is an efficient, single-board control module. Additional compact, DIN-rail modules extend the Control Module's functionality and are connected as add-ons if required. The control package was designed specifically to reduce cost and optimize existing space for machinery builders and OEMs.
TensionManager™ is the perfect alternative to full-featured, integrated tension controllers that come in a single enclosure with a built-in operator interface. With the TensionManager's 'add-on-as-needed' approach, functionality and space-savings are optimized while cost is kept to a minimum.
The TensionManager™ may be setup and operated through a variety of available user interfaces including DFE's PCLink™ software running on a PC or laptop. The controller requires a minimum of tuning and operator adjustment. | |
