Application Examples
Dancer Control
The dancer control system consists of a power supply, dancer control, pivot point sensor, and controlling element, i.e., tension brake or clutch, AC/DC drive-motor or step/servo drive-motor. Dancers provide the web tension while the control and controlling element stabilize dancer operation for unwind, intermediate zone or rewind tension.

Analog Control
The analog system consists of a control module, power supply, and a controlling element, i.e., tension brake or clutch, AC/DC drive-motor, step/servo drive-motor. The analog controller provides output proportional to the input signal for use in unwind, intermediate zone or rewind tensioning.

Electronic Control
Electronic control systems are very similar to analog control systems with the exception of using an electronic sensing element such as an ultrasonic or photoelectric sensor. The sensor monitors diameter change in either the unwind or rewind rolls, and provides a corresponding change in output.

Unwind/Rewind Combination
AC Motor Unwind or rewind operation is accomplished with a DC motor and drive with a dancer. The dancer tensions the web and provides a driver signal to the DC drive. An input tach sends a primary speed signal and the dancer trims the system to maintain proper tension in either unwind or rewind mode.
MTB II
Dual brake unwind incorporates modular tension brakes and an analog control system. The brakes retard the unwind roll, creating tension in the web. An external, customer-provided signal adjusts the output current to the brakes to maintain the proper tension. The dual channel controller controls each brake independently TCS-168 or simultaneously.
