Product Overview
The Dancer Unit is a precision tension control mechanism used in wire, cable to ensure smooth, uninterrupted material flow. It compensates for speed variations between the pay-off and take-up or downstream machines by dynamically adjusting loop length and regulating line tension. Compact and easy to integrate, the Dancer is critical for achieving high-quality extrusion, rewinding and coiling results.
Key Features
- Real-Time Tension Control
Maintains consistent material tension during start-up, speed changes, or stops. - Smooth Material Flow
Prevents jerks, loops, and snags in delicate wires, cables. - Customizable Configurations
Available with pneumatic tensioning systems. - Easy Integration
Can be installed between pay-off and coiling/rewinding units with minimal setup. - Improves Output Quality
Essential for achieving perfect winding, extrusion uniformity, or print registration. - Low Maintenance
Rugged mechanical structure with minimal moving parts and long service life.
Optional Add-Ons
- Load cell for precise tension feedback
- Sensor integration for PLC-controlled systems
- HMI-based control display for advanced monitoring
Applications
Used in cable extrusion lines, coiling systems, rewinding setups, processes.
