Overview
The Magpowr Digitrac 115/230VAC is a microprocessor-based digital tension readout and control unit engineered for precise closed-loop tension management in web handling applications. This industrial control system displays and regulates tension levels with high accuracy, making it essential for converting, packaging, and printing operations where consistent web tension is critical to product quality and equipment longevity. Built for reliability and ease of operation, the Digitrac series represents proven tension control technology trusted across multiple industries.
Key Features
- Microprocessor-based control with digital readout for accurate tension monitoring and display
- Closed-loop tension control capability for unwind, rewind, and point-to-point web handling applications
- Touch pad keyboard interface with programmable setups for flexible machine configurations
- Dual voltage input (115/230 VAC) allows worldwide operation and simplified installation
- Manual and automatic operating modes for process flexibility
- Taper tension function for optimized rewind roll quality
- Six independent setup memory profiles for rapid changeovers between jobs
Technical Specifications
The Digitrac meets industrial standards for enclosure protection and electrical safety, with front panel rated IP65 per IEC 529 for splash and dust resistance, and main enclosure rated IP20. The unit operates across standard industrial power frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz with appropriate fusing for circuit protection.
Typical Applications
- Web converting and laminating operations requiring constant tension control
- Rewind systems with taper tension for core and full-roll optimization
- Packaging line unwind and rewind stations
- Printing and coating operations with moving web materials
- Film, paper, and textile processing applications
