Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable web handling and tension control for the most demanding industrial production lines. Our solutions ensure stable processing of elastic, rubber, and sensitive materials during unwinding, web transport, and rewinding. By combining robust mechanics, precision motor control, and high-accuracy load cells, we help you achieve safer operation, improved efficiency, and consistent roll quality. With decades of experience, we support customers seeking stable web transport and process stability on every shift.
CAMPEN’s web handling and tension control systems are engineered to keep tension constant across all running conditions—including speed changes, splices, and emergency stops. Using closed-loop control with integrated load cells and advanced motor regulation, your elastic and sensitive webs are protected from stretching, wrinkling, and edge damage. Our controlled unwinding and rewinding modules provide smooth web acceleration, stable torque, and reliable roll building, all of which enhance process stability and roll quality.
You benefit from accurate web guiding and slitting, which means clean edges and precise lane positioning. Roller coverings and surface selections are tailored to rubber, nonwovens, coated, and tacky materials to ensure smooth, reliable web transport. This reduces unplanned stoppages and supports predictable quality in every roll produced.
With our deep background in roll-to-roll processing for nonwoven, elastomer, film, and coated laminate industries, we understand the challenges of web tension control. CAMPEN engineers design drive systems, roller configurations, and sensors to address the unique behaviour of each substrate. Through simulation and process assessment, we develop control concepts to support your performance targets for speed, yield, and safety.
Chosen hardware is selected for durability, low maintenance, and accuracy. Key features include flexible tension control systems with AC or servo drives, precise load cells, and robust edge guidance—all within a safe, operator-friendly structure. Recipe management helps operators achieve repeatable results, while built-in data logging provides traceability and supports continuous process improvement.
Starting with your goals and materials, we map out the line configuration, tension zones, and operating criteria. CAMPEN’s engineering team designs, builds, and tests your complete web handling and tension control system before delivery. Our field specialists manage installation, commissioning, and train your operators for an efficient start-up and secure daily production.
We also retrofit existing lines to enhance web handling and tension control, boost throughput, and extend equipment operating life. Our service agreements focus on maximising process uptime and providing quick access to technical support whenever you need it.
If your processes involve elastic, rubber, or other sensitive webs, CAMPEN Machinery can help you achieve precise and reliable web handling and tension control. Share your production targets and material needs—our engineers will assess your setup and suggest clear, practical improvements. We support production managers and maintenance teams with robust, easy-to-operate solutions designed for safe and efficient performance.
