{"product_id":"err2ruwu","title":"ECS-R Roll-to-Roll Unwinding \u0026 Winding Unit with Tension Control (W=200mm, Max. 50 N), ERR2RUWU","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Unwinding \u0026amp; Winding Unit with Tension Control is the mechanical backbone of continuous pilot and industrial manufacturing lines. In advanced energy materials processing—such as slot-die coating of battery electrodes, fabricating solid-state electrolyte sheets, or manufacturing composite polymer membranes—maintaining precise web tension is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary challenge at the unwind stage is that the roll's radius (R) continuously decreases as material feeds into the machine. Modern high-end lab and pilot scales utilize AC servo motors or precise magnetic particle brakes regulated by ultrasonic sensors that continuously measure the changing roll diameter. Unlike the unwind zone, winding requires taper tension. If a roll is wound with constant tension from core to outer layer, the outer layers will compress the inner layers, causing structural defects known as \"telescoping\" or \"starring.\" The controller deliberately reduces the target winding tension by a set percentage (typically 10% to 40%) as the roll diameter expands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR2R units monitor real-time web tension through two primary hardware configurations: (1) \u003cstrong\u003eLoad Cell System (Direct Force Measurement)\u003c\/strong\u003e: The web passes over a specialized idler roller mounted on dual cantilever or low-profile strain gauge load cells. This provides an immediate, highly accurate measurement of the physical force (typically measured in Newtons or Newtons per millimeter of web width). It is ideal for rigid substrates like copper or aluminum current collectors. (2) \u003cstrong\u003eDancer Arm System (Position-Based Storage)\u003c\/strong\u003e: The web loops under a weighted or pneumatically loaded pivoting arm. If the line tension increases, the dancer arm rises; if it slackens, the arm drops. A rotary potentiometer tracks the arm's position, and the PID controller adjusts the motor speed to keep the dancer centered. Dancers are highly effective at absorbing sudden mechanical shocks or eccentricities in out-of-round material rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 521.8px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eERR2RUWU (ER-R2R-UWU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePower\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC110-220V±10%, single phase, 50\/60Hz, 100 W \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 67.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 67.2px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnwinding\/Winding Roller Width\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 67.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax. 200 mm (it accepts the roll substrate width up to 180 mm and leave 20 mm blank area for misalignment)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTension Control\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax. 50 N, adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeb Speed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 56.7875px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax. 1.5 m\/min, adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnwdinng\/Winding Cardboard Size \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI.D. = 3\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 84.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 84.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplication Note\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 84.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe R2R unwinding\/winding unit can be used to match with various calendering machines, such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/echemsupplies.com\/products\/ersecgccrp?variant=47930897924326\"\u003eERSECGCCRP\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"ERSECGCHRP\"\u003eERSECGCHRP,\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/echemsupplies.com\/products\/ermecgchrp?variant=47526811697382\"\u003eERMECGCHRP.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimension\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 47.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnwinding Unit: W400 * D250 * H280 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinding Unit: W530 * D350 * H280 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56.8375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22.6619%; height: 56.8375px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.9784%; height: 56.8375px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e~32 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/asmedigitalcollection.asme.org\/manufacturingscience\/article-abstract\/145\/11\/111007\/1166423\/Li-Ion-Battery-Electrode-Manufacturing-Control\"\u003eH.
