Text Box: Posi-Winder System 
Specifications


The innovative Posi-Winder offers unparalled flexability to meet your current and future needs. The platform can be configured as a Winder or Powered Un-winder and can operate in a Torque or Speed mode of Operation.  The modular design supports rapid and easy integration into any existing web Line and electrical integration is accomplished via a Quick connect Interface Cable. This single platform replaces the need for different winders for specific application types Surface winding vs. Center Winding etc.
 
Our platforms are designed around an ABB AC Drive System that precisely controls an AC Motor, which rotates the center core of the Winder. The system can Operate as a Precise Speed following System, which is trimmed via a Dancer System that can be loaded with precise tension or a load cell system both of which operate in a closed loop mode. The system can also be configured in continuous torque-controlled mode. The AC drive system has resident firmware that automatically, without any additional roll diameter sensors, calculates roll diameter build up and automatically compensates in Torque and Speed mode thus providing consistent Tension or Tensionless Winding and Un-winding. This capability allows us to offer a low cost solution that meets your present and future needs.
