During the operation of the slitting machine, tension is one of the very important technical indicators. This parameter is involved when the equipment is unwinding.

In order to better control the size of the tension in the slitting machine, the tension controller has also become one of the indispensable parts of the slitting machine. The tension controller calculates the winding diameter and load torque by detecting the linear speed of the winding, thereby setting the size of the tension.

Because the tension control of the slitting machine can output a standard analog signal of zero to ten volts, it corresponds to the rated torque of the asynchronous motor. Therefore, it can be connected to the frequency converter through this analog signal, and the torque setting can be selected. In this way, the tension can be kept constant during the operation of the equipment.

In the tension control mode, no matter whether it is a DC motor, AC motor or servo motor, the speed must be limited. Otherwise, when the torque generated by the motor overcomes the load torque and runs, it will produce rotational acceleration, and the speed will continue to increase to the highest speed.

As an important indicator to ensure the quality of product processing, only a stable tension system can control the mutual tension between the slitting machine's unwinding, traction, cutting, and rewinding, so that the cutting process can be processed in a stable state.

Priority considerations when choosing a slitting machine

No matter which type of equipment it is aimed at, it is hoped that the actual operating performance of the product will be better when it is selected, and of course the same is true for the slitting machine. After all, only with a more convenient operation can you save time during the operation and improve work efficiency. Also important is the safety performance of the slitting machine. Users often pay special attention to these two aspects.

But in fact, the choice of slitting machine should consider not only these two points, but also the brand of the product, which is the basic guarantee for the quality and performance of the equipment. Since the main purpose of the slitting machine is to cut metal materials, the cutting speed and cutting quality can best reflect its performance, which can’t be ignored when considering it.

Finally, it is inevitable to think of the price of the slitting machine, which is also one of the factors that affect the user's choice. But in fact, we should not pay too much attention to this point, after all, the performance of the equipment is the most critical. If you can find a cost-effective product, it is of course the best. If it is not so ideal, it is better to give priority to the use effect.
