Ukil offers a wide variety of tension devices, from a simple post/disc, to a self adjusting dancer arm. There are also various models that combine different types of tensioners. For the most demanding applications UKIL offers an electromagnetic device with post control. A system which periodically blows air is included with each tensioner in order to keep lint from building up and causing tension variation. Each tensioner is designed to maintain consistent tension throughout the creel, side to side as well as front to back. All tensioners are built with precision craftsmanship in order to meet the most rigorous requirements.
UI-PD-C | Post and disc / Tension ranges: 5-50g / 10-100g / 20-150g |
UI-OP-C | Dual spring loaded discs / Tension ranges: 5-50g /10-100g /20-150g |
UI-OT-CA | Post/disc pre-tensioner with a self dampening dancer / Tension ranges: 5-50g /10-100g /20-150g |
(McCoy) Magnetense | Electromagnetic 0-35g. (fiberglass) |
Yarn guides | 99% Alumina ceramic |
Broken end detection | High voltage drop wire (Electronic motion sensors – optional) |
Static elimination | At front of creel sections (optional) |
Two sets of precision discs along with ceramic posts are using to create tension as the yarn threads through the device. The tension assembly can be rotated to increase or decrease the tension. It can also be threaded-up in a number of different ways which offers a wide range of tension setpoints in a single tension device. Tension ranges: 5-50g, 10-100g, 20-150g.
Combines a post/disc pre-tensioner with a self dampening dancer arm which compensates for differences in package diameters. All eyelets and tension posts are ceramic coated. A balloon breaker is located at the entrance to the device. Tension ranges: 5-50g, 10-100g, 20-150g.
Two precision rotating discs, chrome plated and spring loaded. Discs continuously rotate to automatically clean them while running. Tension ranges: 5-50g, 10-100g, 20-150g. Tension is automatically adjusted from a centralized motor driven system.
This tension device uses two precision chrome plated discs that rotate for cleaning purposes and an electromagnetic field to squeeze the discs together. The control system automatically adjusts each vertical post so the tension of the front packages are exactly the same as the rear packages. A photoelectrical broken end detector is located at each device. Tension range: 0-75gpe
