SteadyWeb 5 Digital Tension Controller

  • The easiest-to-use automatic tension controller anywhere
  • Large color graphic display
  • Intuitive navigation and menu system
  • Isolated outputs and circuit protection
  • Choice of output modes for specific tension zones
  • Soft-start, diameter compensation,  and many more features 

 "Setting up the SteadyWeb 5 was simple. I am very impressed with the setup of the menus and how easy it is to navigate through each stage of the setup.
I'm now ready to tune the PID loop and the fact that I can adjust each segment while watching the graph is brilliant!
I can tell this was designed by people who have been out in the field doing  startups.
I've been designing and commissioning tension control systems since 1985 and this is how I would design a tension controller."
