digital meter on my SteadyWeb tension controller is steady when tension
is applied and the web is stopped, but when running web the meter fluctuates
rapidly through a wide range. What's happening? Can I adjust to correct
the problem?
In
manual mode my SteadyWeb 12P can have tension set to 145 pounds. When I
switch to Auto mode and turn the tension knob fully clockwise I can only
get up to 100 pounds. What's wrong?
Why
is the tension meter needle on my SteadyWeb™ 12P unwind controller moving?
How
do I tell if taper tension is needed on my rewind?
