Double E Group offers a comprehensive range of web tension control systems engineered to maintain consistent material tension across converting, printing, coating, laminating, and winding applications. These systems help manufacturers improve product quality, minimize material waste, and maintain stable operation across a variety of web-based processes. With more than 50 years of experience in the converting and web handling industry, Double E Group’s solutions are adaptable for both new equipment and retrofit installations, supporting a wide range of materials, machine layouts, and production environments.

At the core of these systems, tension controllers work to regulate web tension based on the selected control strategy and feedback method. Controllers are designed to integrate seamlessly with other machine components and support reliable tension control during startup, speed changes, and continuous operation. Along with sensors, the tension controllers maintain consistent tension relative to line speed without using an average value.

To support accurate feedback for tension management, Double E Group offers multiple sensing options commonly used in web tension control systems — including ultrasonic diameter sensors, load cells, and related sensing technologies. Diameter sensors measure roll dimensions without contact, while load cells provide direct feedback on force through idler rolls mounted to the sensing devices. These sensing technologies allow systems to be configured to match specific machine designs, material characteristics, and process requirements, enabling precise tension control across a range of converting and web handling operations.

Double E Group provides scalable web tension control systems that integrate controllers, sensors, and supporting signal conditioning components to maintain consistent material tension throughout the converting process. These tension control solutions are designed to work as standalone systems or as part of a larger web handling line. In addition to tension control, Double E Group offers a full range of converting products — including shafts, chucks, rollers, and material handling solutions — enabling manufacturers to support web handling from unwind through rewind with consistent, repeatable performance and improved finished product quality.
