Taper tension (optional)
(NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION)
Taper Tension is the reduction of tension as the diameter increases on a rewind. Taper Tension is desired on
rewinds to prevent crushed cores and telescoping rolls caused by excess tension build up. Taper can be achieved
by either estimating diameter, using the optional diameter input, or calculating diameter based on roll RPM and
Velocity inputs (see Section 6.4 to calibrate these devices)
(Home Screen)
Select “YES” to enable taper
Enter “%” taper required
Enter Full Roll diameter
Enter Core diameter
NOTE: “% Taper” is dependent on material and machine type and is totally subjective.
Determination of the correct amount of taper for your application is a trial and error process.
