Unwind/Rewind Controller calculates diameters.

Press Release Summary:




Model CX 1102, 2-Axis Unwind/Dancer/Wind Controller calculates diameters automatically for constant line speed and uses moving Dancer Trim signal to trim either axle. Product uses Axle drive motors and encoders and includes built-in automated dancer load/unload sequences. Other features include multi-line display, built-in PLC, and signal isolation. Knowing calculated roll diameters and roll total content allows triggers and alarms for roll change-outs.



Original Press Release:



Unwind /Rewind Controller Calculates Diameters. Model CX 1102 2-Axis Unwind / Dancer / Wind Controller



Beneficial for the converting, label, narrow web, paper, fiber and wire industries. Features were designed in response to the growing field of APowered Unwinds@. Fragile webs, non-wovens, fibers, and thin films are converting to powered unwinds since the web can=t handle the high tensions needed to accelerate high inertia rolls in older drag brake schemes.

Eliminating the surface encoders and awkward lay-on rolls greatly simplifies the designs. Knowing calculated roll diameters and roll total content allows convenient triggers and alarms for roll change-outs.
