NC: What are the basic issues that cause the problem? GR: Printers and converters know that controlling tension in a web is essential to the quality of the finished product. Web tension problems can arise from several issues with the unwinding roll. These include deceleration, the action of splicing and acceleration of a new roll.
Out-of-round or unbalanced rolls also cause tension disturbances, even during steady state unwinding. Martin Automatic, the leading US manufacturer of unwind/splice and rewind technology for web fed applications has been recognized with a prestigious award for safety at its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Rockford, IL.
