Web guiding and tension control are two factors that help converters control waste as well as the web’s “wobble” as it comes off the roll.

Tension Control Improves Stability on Large Rolls

Automated functions on the Cygnus tension control maintain constant tension as roll diameter changes, making it easier for narrow web converters to produce large rolls that are solid from full roll to core. Operators can spend time monitoring the entire converting process instead of changing control parameters as the roll diameter changes. Other features like automatic tuning, weightless load cell calibration, and out of round roll compensation (previously only possible with a dancer control) help ensure consistent roll quality.
