Whether the web tension control is stable will directly affect the quality of the product. If the tension is insufficient, the coil materials will drift during operation, and the finished paper will be wrinkled after slitting and rewinding. Web tension controller refers to the instrument which can permanently control the tension of the coil materials when conveyed on the machine. This controller must be effective for any speed of the machine, including machine acceleration, deceleration and uniform speed, even in the case of an emergency stop. It should also be able to ensure that the slit is not damaged.
Why Choose Web Tension Controller?
In many industries, winding control problems are often encountered. For example, in the production process of coil materials, the unwinding and winding tension of the coil materials is very important to the quality of the product. For this reason, constant tension control is required. That is to make the product receive good tension during the winding process and keep it unchanged from beginning to end. The stability of the tension control is directly related to the quality of the slitting product. If the tension is too large, it will cause the tensile deformation of the processed material, if the tension is too small, the stress between the layers of the coiled material will be deformed, resulting in uneven winding and affecting the processing quality.
How Does The Web Tension Controller Work?
The tension controller is a kind of equipment that can permanently control the tension of the material belt when it is transported on the equipment. Using this equipment can well maintain the operating speed of the machine, and can not affect production in an emergency. So, how does this device work?
The web tension controller mainly works through the coil. Coil magnetostatic powder clutch and magnetic powder brake are automatic devices that can control the input current and change the output. When the coil is not energized, the input shaft rotates, the magnetic powder is pressed on the inner wall of the clamp ring under the action of centrifugal force, and the output shaft does not contact the input shaft. At this time, it is in an idle state. When the coil is energized, the magnetic powder generates a magnetic link under the action of the magnetic lines of force, so that the output shaft and the input shaft become rigid bodies and rotate, and slippage occurs when overloaded. So as to achieve the purpose of transmitting torque.
Methods Of The Web Tension Control
1. Manual Control
Constantly adjust the torque of the clutch or brake during rewinding, discharging or the process to obtain the required tension, which requires the user to check the tension of the coil materials at any time and adjust the output torque at any time. If pneumatic is used for brakes or clutches, the manual tension controller can directly select precision pressure regulators, which can save a certain amount of equipment costs, but it is only suitable for some low-speed compound machines, extruders, textile machinery and other occasions where tension control requirements are not high.
2. Semi-automatic Method
The method adopts the ultrasonic principle to automatically detect the coil diameter for adjusting the tension of the coils. The tension controller is essentially a semi-closed loop system. It can not only automatically measure the coil and control the torque output, but also has the functions of buffer start, anti-loosening and inertia compensation. The implementation cost of this scheme is low, so the method is widely used in mid-range machinery.
3. Fully automatic Method
This method is to measure the tension of the coil by a web tension sensor, and then the controller automatically adjusts the clutch or brake to control the tension of the coils. This method is a fully closed-loop tension control. In principle, this solution can reflect the change of tension in real-time, so the control accuracy is the highest. Therefore, some high-end finishing mills, high-speed slitting machines and other metallurgical applications adopt fully automatic tension controller.
