Purpose-built web handling systems for films, foils, and flexible substrates. Closed-loop tension control that outperforms legacy technologies, engineered for the processes that catalog machines can’t handle.
In web processing, the material is only as good as the tension holding it. One wrong zone, one inconsistent reading, and the entire line suffers. Lehnen builds web-handling systems with closed-loop tension control in every zone, so your product stays consistent from foot to foot, batch to batch, shift to shift.
Measurement and control systems that outperform legacy technologies. Real-time feedback across every tension zone, every point in the process.
Independent, precise control in each zone of your line. No single setting was compromised to accommodate another.
Mechanical tension is dynamically managed at every point in the process, ensuring material consistency from start to finish.
Software built by our in-house team, in constant communication with every tension component. No off-the-shelf middleware, no black boxes.
All essential data is accessible via the machine’s control panel display. Straightforward to operate, easy to manage, built for the people actually running the line.
We start by learning your material, your process, your tension requirements, and the quality targets that define success.
Our engineers develop the system around your specific zone requirements, speeds, and integration needs. Then we refine it with your team.
Our ProTwin MCS process simulates the full web handling system in a virtual environment before fabrication. Tension logic, control behavior, and edge cases surface in software.
In-house fabrication, assembly, and factory acceptance testing, all handled by the same team that designed it.
Precision web handling for materials used in diagnostic, medical device, and life science manufacturing, where tolerances and documentation are non-negotiable.
Automated tension control for industrial web processing operations historically run by hand, where consistency, uptime, and operator load all need to improve.
Custom web lines for specialty materials, laminates, and flexible substrates across high-precision, high-value manufacturing processes.
Custom production machinery for demanding manufacturing environments.
SCADA, HMI, and Ignition integration. The software layer that makes custom web handling actually work.
Automated test stations and inspection systems are often paired with web handling lines.
