The history, present situation, and future trends in ensuring constant and consistent wire tension in stranders

$15.00

This paper demonstrates possibilities for making the best use of sliprings or radio transmission to enable communication between rotating parts and master unit in a stranding operation. It highlights potential quality improvements as well as ways to identify and isolate problems or quality zones in wire. It also addresses what productivity increases can be achieved with open- or closed-loop tension control systems depending on machine age and condition as well as processed material.
