06/12/2022 – New era for maintaining constant tension in stranding processes

Control of wire tension

The monitoring or control of wire tension is of vital importance for manufacturers, and is especially true when it comes to offering the consistently high product quality demanded by their customers. The aim is to always be able to offer the best products at competitive prices, and this requires wire processing machinery operating at peak performance.
