Unwind and tension sensing
The brake, load cell and signal amplifier establish stable inlet tension.
Interactive Roll-to-Roll System
See every control stage working as one production line
Follow the material from unwind to rewind, then select a control layer or product point to see how KRD components work together.
Closed-loop tension control
The controller compares feedback with the target and adjusts brake or clutch torque.
Web-guiding correction
The edge sensor and controller command the linear actuator to steer the guide frame.
Stable rewind
The rewind load cell, tension controller and clutch close the final tension loop for consistent winding.
Selected product family

Solution FAQ
Start the equipment discussion with the right inputs
What details should I prepare before asking for a solution?
Prepare the material, web width, line speed, process stage, control objective, existing equipment and installation constraints. These details help frame the relevant system direction.
What is the difference between web guiding and tension control?
Web guiding corrects lateral material position. Tension control manages the pulling force in the material path. Many roll-to-roll lines use both functions because they affect different aspects of process stability.
Does KRD support international projects?
KRD supports customers worldwide, with priority service coverage across Southeast Asia, North America and Europe. Include the machine location, target market and preferred communication time zone when starting a project discussion.
