Operators can easily program tension setups and changes with the compact, intuitive tension control unit from MAGPOWR

Fenton, MO. MAGPOWR , a leader in web tension and torque control, introduced Cygnus, a dramatically different tension control at CMM 2003, April 14-17 in Chicago.

Operators use on-screen prompts, displayed in full text, to easily navigate through MAGPOWRís many tension control functions and codes to simplify the setup process. Web tension is maintained or adjusted using multifunction Smartkeys, and a large backlit display for easy viewing.

With shorter turnarounds and more specialty runs, printers and converters are faced with the challenge of accomplishing more in less time than ever. While we have experienced great success with our tension control products, we have also identified a need to make set-up and operation much more user-friendly. Cygnus represents a significant leap in tension control technology ñ weíve designed a product with advanced features that is simple to use and understand. There really is nothing like in the marketplace today.Says Darrell Whiteside, Product Manager for MAGPOWR.

Cygnus saves valuable panel space with standard DIN panel mount and compact packaging. At less than four inches in depth, Cygnus door mount applications leave plenty of space to mount components on the panel immediately underneath. For retrofit applications there is an IP65 enclosed version allowing for convenient mounting to the machine frame or wall.

More accurate web control is achieved with the advanced features that customerís have come to expect from MAGPOWR products. Converters and printers can dramatically reduce setup time and improve consistency with powerful features like Automatic Tuning and Out of Round Roll Compensation (previously only possible with a dancer control). Complex tension settings can be input quickly with full text prompts as opposed to more complicated input procedures of the past. The operator is quickly guided through the setup process and fine tune adjustments, without extensive training or the need of constantly referencing a separate manual.
