Description
ABB PFEA112-20 Tension Controller
The PFEA112 – 20 is not just an ordinary control module; it serves as the nerve center for maintaining optimal tension levels in industrial processes. Whether it’s in the textile industry, where the smooth flow of yarn during spinning and weaving is crucial, or in the packaging sector, ensuring that the packaging material is wound or unwound with the right amount of tension, this module plays a pivotal role. In paper manufacturing, it helps in controlling the tension of the paper pulp as it transforms into rolls of paper, preventing any creases or tears. It also finds extensive use in cable and wire production, where maintaining consistent tension is essential for the integrity of the final product.
