Constant Tension Infeed

• Martin’s Constant Tension Infeed/Outfeed system offers a patented inertia-compensation design for precise and consistent tension control, ensuring smooth operation and high-quality output.

• The system is equipped with a dancer and an integrated web guide to maintain optimal web alignment throughout the process.

• It can be configured as either AC motor-driven or lineshaft-driven, providing flexibility to accommodate various production setups and material handling requirements.

Inertia-Compensated Dancer

• Martin’s Inertia-Compensated Dancer absorbs tension upsets and prevents them from reaching the process.

• Web tension is adjusted and accurately maintained despite disturbances on the drive or brake side, changes in web characteristics, and various line speed settings.

• This unit, which can be free-standing or integrated, requires minimum space and is easily installed on new or existing lines. As with all Martin products, the Inertia-Compensated Dancer can be application-engineered to fit each process.

Storage Festoon

• Martin’s storage festoon, or accumulator, delivers precise tension control to the process while ensuring adequate web storage during the splice cycle, minimizing disruptions and maintaining productivity.

• Utilizing Martin’s patented inertia-compensated tension control system, it effectively isolates tension upsets from the process, preventing fluctuations that could affect product quality.

• This advanced design allows for superior web tension control, making it ideal for high-speed and precision-driven applications.

MDR Rollers

• MDR (magnetically driven roller) technology is a new approach to handling webs at lower tension levels and higher operating speeds.

• This patent-pending roller system applies a magnetic link between web transport rollers and drive system, substantially reducing or eliminating the negative impacts on a web resulting from roller inertia, bearing friction, speed change, and entrained (boundary layer) air. The result is a system that operates at significantly higher speed and lower web tension.

• MDR technology can be applied to web transport systems as well as Martin’s line of high-performance unwind systems.

Airnertia™

• Martin’s Airnertia™ technology features web transport rollers designed with a reduced moment of inertia, enabling smoother and more efficient web handling.

• This patented technology allows for a higher rate of change in web speed without requiring an increased web tension set point, helping to optimize performance and reduce material stress.

• Suitable for all process equipment utilizing idler rollers for web transport, Airnertia™ enhances control and stability in high-speed applications.
