Web Controls

Nexen offers web control systems for open-loop/diameter compensating and closed-loop/load-cell (sensor) based tension control. Working with pneumatic brakes/clutches, these systems monitor web tension and adjust brake/clutch torque output to maintain appropriate web tension. The load cell system produces an accuracy of 1-2%; the open-loop system is about 8-10% accurate.

Web sensors that communicate with Nexen controls for accurate web processing are also available. Sensors for splice/break detection, tension metering, line following, web guiding, and positioning, providing everything needed to monitor web operations and maintain accurate positioning.
