Today, FMS is the company of choice for manufacturers and users of web processing equipment worldwide. Success across a wide range of industries, processes and materials

No matter where production, processing or the finished product is run, two factors are critical to the quality of the finished product: constant tension and consistent lateral position of the web. The FMS closed-loop control system for web force and web guidance continuously maintains all relevant parameters to ensure precise compliance with reference values. At the same time, these values ​​can be used for comprehensive records for quality assurance purposes Tension control: Maintain constant tension of FMS products Winding/unwinding, slitting, coating, printing and many other production processes require constant material tension. Along with current drive solutions, sensor technology, bus systems and amplifier tension control have become the latest technologies in converting wire, metal, paper and wire manufacturing and processing. Currently, tension measuring load cells are part of the standard equipment on web production lines. Web Guidance: Maintaining a Constant Position with FMS Products Many processes require precisely positioned material webs. The FMS paper guide detects the position of the material through the paper guide sensor, calculates the deviation from the reference position, and uses the bogie actuator to keep the material at the desired position. FMS's extensive range of web tension control and web guidance products offers many possible modular combinations covering virtually every application.
