CUSTOMER CHALLENGE Create a way to maintain proper paper roll belt tension to ensure the production quality of very fine paper products, and design a steering system to ensure the paper is always centered on the roll in a very high-speed production process. SOLUTION A turnkey system incorporating a Servo Driven 5-ton Actuator assembly with an embedded load cell for belt tensioning and a Servo Driven 5-ton Actuator assembly steering package were used to center the paper product on the paper machine rollers. In addition four 1/2-ton jacks all mechanically linked and driven by a hand-wheel were supplied for leveling the system. The key to successful implementation was the ability to provide rapid adjustments in both tensioning and steering to achieve high quality paper. DUFF-NORTON ADV
