What is web tension?
Due to its impact on the end product’s consistency and quality, web tension is an important consideration in many manufacturing processes. The web may break if the tension is too great, resulting in lost production time and material. But, if the web tension is too low, the web may droop, wrinkle or fold, which may result in flaws in the fabric.
A continuous web of material, such as paper, cloth or plastic, may be subjected to a certain amount of stress or tension throughout the manufacturing or processing process. This is referred to as web tension. Several parts of the machine, such as rollers, brakes or clamps, apply force on the web to maintain the proper tension level while controlling the tension of the web.
Manufacturers employ a variety of tools and methods, including web tension sensors, a web tension control system, and feedback systems, to monitor and adjust web tension in order to maintain consistent product quality and production effectiveness. With the use of these systems, the desired tension level is kept constant, resulting in high-quality, consistent output.
What are the benefits of a web tension control system?
In order to preserve the material’s intended qualities and desired attributes (such as form, appearance, etc.), a web tension control system is the technique of maintaining a predetermined or fixed amount of stress or strain between two points. This operation frequently occurs in distinct web tension control zones called unwind/payout, process (nip), and rewind/take up, each with its own requirements for web tension measurement and management.
Hence, web tension controllers and measuring amplifiers are making sure that your material travels from point A to point B uniformly, consistently and without suffering any degradation in material quality. According to this simple definition, most apps are currently capable of processing material from point A to point B, but maybe in a very manual or slower manner.
To guarantee consistent and high-quality outputs, automating the process, establishing a continuous process and increasing productivity will all significantly rely on proper tension control.
How Do Methods For Controlling Web-Tension Work?
Several Methods for controlling Web Tension
There are several methods for controlling web tension.
Overall, the choice of method for controlling web tension will depend on the specific application and the requirements of the product being produced.
Manual Tension Control
This involves adjusting the tension of the web manually using mechanical devices such as brakes or clutches. The operator can increase or decrease the tension by adjusting the pressure on the brake or clutch.
Closed-Loop Tension Control
This method uses sensors to measure the tension of the web and automatically adjusts the tension using a feedback control system. The system continuously monitors the tension and adjusts the tensioning device, such as a brake or motor, to maintain constant tension.
Load Cell Tension Control
This method uses load cells, which are sensors that measure the force applied to the web by the tensioning device. The load cell sends a signal to a controller, which adjusts the tensioning device to maintain constant tension.
