Mathematical Description of the Tensioners Used While Winding of the Wet Composite Material Products

Abstract

Products made of composite materials by wet winding are very prevalent in different industries. Herewith, the product range is expanding constantly and the quality requirements are constantly growing. The qualitative characteristics of future products largely depend on the properties of a tension control system. In its turn, the right choice of a choice of a tensioner determines the system operation. Up to now, when choosing the tensioner and the tensioner electric drive, they didn't consider the specific operation aspects of the winding equipment and the wound product. However, the use of modern controls in winding equipment raised questions about the rational choice of a tensioner. It requires the classification of the tensioners used when winding, their mathematical description and the development of a method for choosing a tensioner for winding the product of a wet tape.
