Operators can easily program tension setups and changes with the industry's most compact, intuitive tension control unit.

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

Operators can now use on-screen prompts displayed in full text to easily navigate through MAGPOWR's many tension control functions and codes, making the setup process more intuitive. Web tension is maintained or adjusted using multifunction Smartkeys, similar to those used in ATM's,
and a large backlit display for easy viewing.

ìWith 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 the process of set-up and operation much more user-friendly. Cygnus represents a significant leap in tension control technology we've 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.

The standard DIN panel mount Cygnus saves valuable panel space with its 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.
