Montalvo Corp. (Gorham, Maine, U.S.) is introducing the generational leap in its family of web tension controllers. Building upon the successes of its Z4, S4 and U4 series of controllers, and backed by 75 years in the industry, the company highlights the new Zeus Multi-Zone Web Tension Controller. Configurable for up to eight tension control zones, the Zeus touchscreen puts all of this control in one place. The new controller can handle a majority of process needs, whether they need to include open loop with tension indication, closed loop with load cells, closed loop with dancer, unwind zones, rewind zones or NIP (process) zones in any combination.

Real-time visual feedback provides precise insights into machine operation. Standard features include soft start/anti-coast, web break detection, splice control, progressive fain, set it and forget it technology, recipe storage, Ethernet connectivity and inertia compensation. Montalvo exclusives — open loop torque-sensing and indication and range expansion — are also included.

Rounding out these Montalvo innovations, the company is also introducing the GR series of core chucks. These chucks are entirely customizable and engineered to system needs. With various sizes and grip specifications available, they are built to order and backed by Montalvo Blue Assurance.
