TCP-50 Microbore Tubing Payout
Powered Payout with Closed Loop Tension Control
The TCP-50 Microbore Tubing Payout from CKC Engineering is a state-of-the art
powered payout unit designed specifically for the demands of microbore tubing
and fine wire applications.
The system provides high accuracy tension control at ultra low set points using
advanced closed loop control algorithms.
TCP-50 Microbore Tubing Payout
Optimized for Microbore Tubing and Fine Wire Feeding
The TCP has been designed and built specifically for use with delicate, small diameter tubing
and fine wire. Tubing and wire as small as 0.001 inches in diameter can be reliably paid out at
line speeds up to 200 fpm or higher. The system has also been designed for use in medical
device applications, with wipe down and product contacting materials meeting all cGMP
requirements. The TCP is also suited for paying out fiber optics for over-coating applications.
Closed Loop Tension Control
A high accuracy tension sensor provides real-time line tension, which is used to control spool
speed via advanced PID control. Tension can be accurately controlled over an entire spool to
set points as low as 5 grams. Closed loop tension control provides ultimate control over payout
tension, and line breaks and distortion due to inconsistent tension.
Precise Motion Control
The spool is driven by a dedicated motor, gearbox and control loop. High resolution encoder
feedback is used to control speed and position to maintain accurate tension and smooth
motion.
Simple User Interface
A simple user interface makes it easy for a technician or engineer to adjust the tension or speed
set point. A digital display provides real time values of line tension and spool RPM.
