Sheet Winding Device (Feeder Section) Prevention of Sheet Damage and Sagging by Automatic Adjustment Of Tension

Issue: Preventing Sagging and Damage to the Sheet (Feeding Section)

Winding process for sheet manufacturing equipment using an induction motor.
A motor is used only for the winding section.

Application: Winding of packaging sheets, tapes, films, and paper rolls

Challenge:

  • The increase in winding diameter causes changes in the load and winding speed, which resulted in sagging and damage to the sheet
  • Wanting to install a tension controller and torque detector, but unable to do so due the high costs

Solution: Torque Motors Serve as a brake for feeding and unwinding

The torque motors, which are able to use motor power as a brake, can be installed on the sheet feeding and unwinding sides to maintain proper tension while winding.

Specific Application Examples

 

Torque Motors Can be Used as Brakes

Torque motors can also generate a braking force when rotated in the opposite direction to the motor rotation direction by an external force, etc. If installed on the feeding or unwinding side, the brake characteristics can be used as tension.

Since the torque is always generated in the opposite direction, this prevents the sheet from sagging even when stopped.

 

No Need to Adjust Torque During Winding

Torque motors feature sloping characteristics, with low torque at high speed and high torque at low speed. They move quickly at the beginning of winding when the load is light, and can produce a good amount of torque at low speed near the end of the winding process when the load is larger.

 

Achieves Low-Cost System Configuration

More cost-effective than using tension controllers and torque detectors.

 

Easy Torque Setting with Dedicated Power Controller

One of the components, the power controller, is used in torque setting. 3 setting methods can be selected: Internal Torque Potentiometer, External Torque Potentiometer, and DC Voltage Control.
