Fiber delivery is the first controllable factor in the winding process.

Creels

Entec offers a complete line of fiber creels from simple open book shelf creels to enviromentally controlled enclosed units.

Tensioners

There are three models of tensioners with several tension ranges and options. The tensioners utilize a magnetic particle brake, a magnetic particle clutch, or a servo-controlled torque motor.
There are many options available for tensioning systems. Some of these incude:
• Negative pressure enclosure for carbon fiber containment.
• Heating or cooling of the enclosure.
• Fiber breakage sensors.
• Interface with winding pattern control.
