Low Tension Web Accumulators
Low Tension Dual Carriage Web Accumulators
Achieve optimal tension control with our dual carriage low tension web accumulators at U.S. Webcon. Our accumulators are designed to fit your company’s requirements with a wide range of features and customizable options.
Low Tension Web Festoon Accumulator Using Motor Driven Position Control and Load Cell Control for Tension Feedback
Exceptional Tension Control
Our low tension dual carriage web accumulators operate using a set of motor-driven carriages mounted in a vertically operated framework. These carriages are mechanically coupled together, ensuring effective counterbalancing. The carriages maintain optimal tension throughout the process by following the line speed and utilizing load cells or a dancer.
Streamlined Operation and Customization
We prioritize user-friendly equipment, and our low tension dual carriage web accumulators are no exception. Customizable options allow you to tailor the accumulator to your unique needs, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
Enhance your production process with our advanced low tension dual carriage web accumulators. Contact us today to discuss your requirements and explore the perfect solution for your business. Transform your tension control with U.S. Webcon.
What is Web Accumulation?
Web festoon accumulation refers to the temporary storage of a continuous material (such as paper, film, foil, fabric, or metal) in a processing line to allow for uninterrupted operation of upstream and downstream equipment. It is commonly used in web processing industries to manage speed variations, facilitate roll changes, and maintain tension control.
What types of Web Festoon Accumulators are there?
- Vertical Accumulators – Use a series of rollers that move up and down to store material.
- Horizontal Accumulators – Store material in a horizontal path, often using a festoon system.
- Double or Tripple Pass Accumulator – temporarily stores material by passing it through multiple times, using less floor space by sing a festoon system.
- Low Tension Vertical Accumulators – Used where low tension web accumulation is required. Generally, uses a motor driven set up with dual carriages.
What is a low tension Web Festoon Accumulator?
A Low Tension Web Festoon Accumulator is a motor driven dual carriage unit. The two carriages are mechanically tied together so that lower carriages weight hangs on and counter balances the weight of the upper carriage so that its weight zeroed out. The actuation is driven by a motor and uses load cells or a dancer to control tension within the unit. This reduces the inertia of the system.
