Compact
yet powerful, the Cygnus® is a dramatically different tension control with advanced
features that are easy to use.
Operators can easily navigate through advanced tension control
functions and codes using on-screen prompts displayed in full
text, making the setup process faster. Web tension is maintained
or adjusted using multifunction "smart keys", similar to those
used in ATM's, and a large backlit display for easy viewing.
The standard DIN panel mount Cygnus saves valuable panel space
with it's 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.
"The Cygnus tension control system has decreased our waste from 15% to just over 3.5%. Considering most of our jobs are short runs this is nice savings."
Tom Rouze - Printing Director / Astor Chocolates
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.
