Ultrasound tension controls are an excellent replacement for manually adjusted brakes and clutches.


As your unwind decreases in size adjustments must be made to the brake to decrease its' torque output. Conversely as your rewind builds, adjustments must be made to increase torque. Ultrasound controls are inexpensive, easy to install and easy to use. They are open loop controls that measure distance and thus, measure roll radius as it changes at your unwind or rewind. If your unwinds and rewinds are manually adjusted to compensate for radius changes, ultrasound is an excellent choice, which allows you to more accurately control tension in and out of your process.
