Tension and Web Tension Control Systems
GMG TECHNIC · TECHNICAL SERVICE · OVERHAUL · AUTOMATION
At GMG Technic we provide technical service, overhaul and automation solutions for the tension control systems used in printing, packaging, label, lamination, slitter rewinder, film, paper, foil and converting lines. A tension control system keeps roll-based material running at the correct tension throughout the production line. Low, high or unstable tension leads to wrinkling, edge drift, register and winding problems. At GMG we address the load cell, tension sensor, brake, clutch, drive, servo and PLC-HMI control as a complete whole.

Correct Tension = Stable Production
A tension control system carries roll material along the production line at a defined tension. The correct tension value is determined and held constant according to the material’s width, thickness, type, speed, roll diameter and process structure.
At GMG Technic, when tension problems arise we look not only at the sensor or control device, but at the load cell, tension sensor, brake, drive, servo and control software as a complete whole.
