Precise web tension control is essential to achieving optimal converting performance across industries, including composites, wire and cable, textiles, packaging, labeling and finishing. Stable material flow, product quality and consistency, and machine efficiency depend on how well web tension is measured and regulated. Otherwise, issues like product deformation, web breaks and print misregistration can arise. …

As a steel processor committed to delivering high-quality products, you know there’s no substitute for well-grounded and maintained metal rolls. Unfortunately, not every manufacturer is ideally suited to perform roll-grinding in-house. Tight budgets and fast turnaround requirements are just two of the many factors associated with roll grinding that can test the limits of many …

As you evaluate right angle gearboxes for your industrial design, you can’t afford to take chances with just any gearbox. Whether you’re using right angle gearboxes to regulate motion, speed or direction in heavy machinery, or to support high-speed processes, imprecise motion, machine failure and costly downtime are unacceptable. Taken together, you will have to …

Carbon fiber materials are transforming the space industry thanks to their weight savings, but they can be particularly challenging to apply to gigantic spacecraft structures such as those that make up reusable rockets. To compound the challenges, most builders of automated fiber placement (AFP) machines cannot fabricate a machine that is both capable of laydown …

As we close out the year and set our sights on 2026, we would like to take a moment to look back at our many highlights of 2025. New Product Highlight: WAT+ Force Transducer Family Expands WAT+ family load cells combine performance, design flexibility and exceptional value in a space-saving unit that can accommodate a …

When it’s time to validate the performance of an electric motor, there’s no substitute for rigorously assessing how it will perform in real-world conditions. Dynamometer (dyno) testing is a particularly effective approach for ensuring optimal electric motor performance, reliability and efficiency, with many top-performing dyno test systems relying on electromagnetic powder brakes (EMPs) to simulate …

When you need to simulate torque resistance in test bench applications, various brakes and clutches can do the job. For many projects, however, such as space-limited automotive test benches, it is particularly critical to select a brake that achieves precise control at a reasonable cost without also incurring wear and tear. Often overlooked, electromagnetic powder …

We’re making our final preparations for FABTECH 2025, the sheet metal industry’s premier event taking place September 8 to 11 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. We look forward to meeting with you in Hall A, Booth A6320 to show you our innovative metal strip processing products and discuss your production needs and how we …
