A control system for controlling operation of main and secondary drive units in a web winder system to provide tension control of a continuous material web is disclosed. The control system causes the main drive unit to operate in a velocity mode to set a linear velocity of the continuous material web. The control system receives inputs from tension and speed detectors in the web winder system that detect a tension and speed of the continuous material web and causes the secondary drive unit to operate in a modified torque regulated closed-loop tension control mode so as to control a tension in the web material, with the control system causing the secondary drive unit to operate according to a torque regulated closed-loop tension control mode and integrate a speed feedback loop into the torque regulated closed-loop tension control mode so as to introduce active damping into the tension control.

A device for applying coiling-tension to a slit band sheet includes: an upper structure that is disposed on the upper side of a band sheet which has been passed through a slitter line and slitted; and a lower structure that is disposed on the lower side of the band sheet and faces the upper structure vertically. In addition, an upper belt is stretched on an outer peripheral surface of the upper structure. A lower belt is stretched on an outer peripheral surface of the lower structure. The upper structure has a first reversing portion, an upper pressing portion, and a second reversing portion. The first reversing portion and the upper pressing portion are integrated with each other. A tension adjusting mechanism is installed on side surfaces of the first reversing portion and the upper pressing portion and a side surface of the second reversing portion.

A printing apparatus capable of fixing a medium appropriately during printing is provided. The printing apparatus includes a feeding roller, a printing portion configured to make a print on the textile supplied from the feeding roller, and a conveyance portion configured to convey the textile to the printing portion. The conveyance portion includes a pressure roller configured to sandwich the textile and rotate along with conveyance of the textile. The printing apparatus further includes a brake roller disposed between the pressure roller and the feeding roller for producing force acting on the textile against conveyance force for the textile by the conveyance portion to apply tension to the textile between the brake roller and the pressure roller. Tension smaller than tension exerted on the textile between the brake roller and the pressure roller is exerted on the textile between the brake roller and the feeding roller.

A method for processing a thin glass is provided. The thin glass is subjected to a tensile stress .sub.app smaller than $1.15.Math.\mathrm{Min}({\stackrel{\_}{}}_a-{}_{a}0.4.Math.\left(1-\ln \left(\frac{A_{\mathrm{ref}}}{A_{\mathrm{App}}}\right)\right),{\stackrel{\_}{}}_e-{}_{e}0.4.Math.(1-\ln (\frac{L_{\mathrm{ref}}}{}$

Apparatus and methods are provided for a self-contained tension control system. An example self-contained tension control system can include a brake system configured to provide tension friction to a web, a tension transducer to provide tension information indicative of tension of the web, a controller configured to receive the tension information, to compare the tension information to set point information, and to provide a command signal to the brake system, and an enclosure configured to enclose the brake system, the tension transducer, and the controller, the enclosure including a first web opening and a second web opening configured to allow the web to enter the enclosure and to pass through the enclosure to equipment downstream of the self-contained tension control system.

Provided is a magnetic tape apparatus in which the magnetic tape is run between a winding reel and a cartridge reel in a state where a tension is applied in a longitudinal direction, a maximum value of the tension is 0.50 N or more, the magnetic tape after being run in a state where the tension is applied is wound around the cartridge reel with a tension of 0.30 N or less applied in the longitudinal direction, and the number of recesses existing on a surface of the magnetic layer of the magnetic tape and having an equivalent circle diameter of 0.10 m or more and less than 0.20 m is 100 or more and 2000 or less per an area of 40 m40 m.
