Tension control plays a vital role in composites manufacturing in order to achieve automated processing, continuous processing, reduced scrap, increased product quality, and more, says a new white ...

During manufacturing or converting processes, material is generally pulled off a roll, processed, and rewound — in sections called unwind, intermediate, and rewind zones, respectively. Knowing the ...

Composites technology company Cygnet Texkimp (Cheshire, U.K.) has developed a high-tension fiber winding solution to create lightweight rotating parts with greater dimensional stability at higher ...

Background: Traditionally, mechanical brake and air-supply systems have provided brake control to processors unwinding or holding back a strand or web. But air brakes and their air-supply system don’t ...

The technology, which has evolved through the company’s filament winding capability, has been developed to achieve more power from high-speed rotating machinery by wrapping it in carbon fibre under ...
