Open-Loop Tension Control
An Open-Loop Payoff unit is a cost effective solution for feeding wire or other fine filaments into a smooth running process that is not sensitive to a gradual increase in tension as the payoff spool is used up. Open-Loop systems can be 100% non-electronic using magnetic brakes or they can be equipped with electronic brakes allowing for remote adjustment of the tension level. Benchtop and floor standing versions are available. They can also be coupled with a take-up unit to provide a complete respooling system.
Features
Typical features and specifications include:
- Benchtop or Floor Standing Designs
- Passive Tension Control (not motorized)
- Tension control from a few grams or ounces up to several kilograms or pounds
- Configured for a wide range of spool sizes and weights and specific materials
