Tension Control

Training on the fundamentals of web processing can be as fun as attending the Kentucky Derby! This year, attendees came to Louisville this year to sharpen their knowledge on web alignment, slitting, winding/unwinding and of course tension control. Each day offered an in-depth look at the principles of one aspect of web handling.

Select the individual courses to improve your specific operational needs or attend all sessions! Industry experts from Fife, MAGPOWR, Tidland, and more will teach you how to make the most of what you've got, or help you to determine what improvements you actually need.

The purpose of the school is to provide a thorough understanding of web torque and tension control methods, and MAGPOWR products. The school is an intense 3-day seminar beginning Wednesday, October 6th and ending Friday, October 8th. It includes classroom presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and application activities.

These days, to stay competitive you have to run multiple variations of material at increasingly shorter runs to turn a profit. To maintain consistent, high-quality output, there are adjustments that need to be made on the unwind through tension, alignment, slitting setup and possibly even the rewind.

In this e-Seminar, Darrell Whiteside of MAGPOWR provides an easy-to-understand overview of the tension process and gets into some of the latest technologies on how to implement proper tension on a process line. He also dives into the question on taper tension as his company receives this as the most commonly asked question for their support staff.
