Description

The ABB PFEA112 is a two-channel web tension controller designed for use in various web handling applications to maintain consistent tension across the width of the material being processed. It’s part of ABB’s wider range of web tension control solutions. It is an enhanced version of the PFEA111, offering additional features and capabilities.

Key Features and Functionalities:

  • Accurate Two-Channel Tension Control: Independently controls the tension on two separate webs or different zones of a single web, ensuring precise and balanced tension distribution.
  • Wide Tension Range: Handles a wide range of tension requirements, catering to diverse web handling applications.
  • Quick Response: Provides fast and responsive tension control, adapting to sudden changes in material properties or production speed.
  • Variety of Sensors: Works with various types of tension sensors, including load cells, dancer position sensors, and s-type sensors.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Offers an intuitive interface for easy setup, operation, and monitoring of tension control parameters for each channel.

Applications:

  • Printing: Maintaining consistent tension in printing processes for high-quality printing results on both sides of the web.
  • Packaging: Ensuring proper tension during packaging operations to prevent wrinkles, tears, or misalignments on multiple layers of packaging material.
  • Textile Industry: Controlling tension in textile manufacturing processes like weaving, knitting, and dyeing, particularly for double-width fabrics or processes with multiple tension zones.
  • Converting Industries: Regulating tension in converting processes like laminating, coating, and slitting for precise alignment and material handling.
  • Metal Processing: Maintaining tension in metal strip processing applications like coiling, stamping, and finishing, especially for wide or multi-layer metal strips.
