Choose the Control Mode

Choose the control approach that fits your machine

Compare the characteristics of each category, then explore its models. Each photo shows one representative product.

KTC828A tension controller / KTC828A 张力控制器

Automatic tension control

Feedback-driven adjustment

Uses measured tension feedback to adjust output as operating conditions change, helping maintain the set tension during production.

Suitable for applications needing continuous correction. Available feedback, calculated open-loop and taper functions depend on the model.

KTC818A tension controller / KTC818A 张力控制器

Semi-automatic tension control

Calculation-based adjustment

Calculates output from roll diameter, speed signals or material settings, following changes during unwinding and rewinding.

Suitable when the machine can provide the required calculation inputs. Setup and calibration are needed; tension is estimated rather than directly measured.

KTC800A tension controller / KTC800A 张力控制器

Manual tension control

Operator-set output

Lets the operator set the output to a brake or clutch. Current, voltage or power adjustment is available depending on the model.

Suitable for straightforward applications with operator adjustment. Changes in roll diameter or process conditions may require the output to be readjusted.

Confirm three things before choosing a controller

01 / Feedback or calculation

Identify tension sensors, dancer signals, encoders or speed signals already available. Different models accept different input combinations.

02 / Output and actuator

Identify the brake, clutch, inverter or servo drive. Confirm its voltage, current and command input against the controller specification.

03 / Machine operation

Share the unwind or rewind section, target tension range, speed and diameter changes, and whether taper control is needed.
