Step 1: Replace Tension Brake MA Press Upgrade Step 1: Replace Tension Brake *Existing magnetic particle brakes create excess tension. Even at zero volts applied, there is still substantial friction on the unwind. *Existing pulleys and belts create additional friction on the unwind shaft *This residual friction creates increased torque limiting the materials that can be run on the machine, and limiting the ability to run all the way down to the core.

MA Press Upgrade Step 1: Replace Tension Brake Replace existing mag particle brake with Montalvo CD or CS Series Brake Easy Installation Remove existing brake, belt, shaft wheel, and hub Drill and tap module standoffs (using a supplied template) Mount new CD/CS brake using existing shaft and friction modules Install I/P Converter, plumb brake and connect air supply *(if MA-2200 - hold back brake will also need to be disengaged)

Precise Tension Control to Run From Full Roll to Core MA Press Upgrade Step 1: Replace Tension Brake Results Precise Tension Control to Run From Full Roll to Core Wider Torque Range Allowing You to Run Multiple Materials Greater Heat Dissipation Increased Line Speed Decreased Maintenance Time

Replace Existing Dancer Assembly with Montalvo Load Cell Roller MA Press Upgrade Step 2: Install Load Cells Replace Existing Dancer Assembly with Montalvo Load Cell Roller *Existing dancer does not provide actual web tension feedback from your material. *Newly installed CD/CS Brake eliminates tension upsets the dancer is meant to correct.
