Types of Tensioners -
 We provide optical, graphite, Kevlar, Nextel, fiberglass, nylon and wire Fiber Tensioners and unwinders of all types for unwinding fibers, wires membranes and any other product that are on spools and need to go to or from a process.  All tensioners are bi-directional with unlimited re-wind (or take-up capabilities).  The Helman Tensioner is extremely versatile.  The same tensioners that are used for optical fiber tensioning and optical fiber processing are also used for composite winding, wire tensioning and other similar winding and unwinding processes.

Applications:

Controlling the tension of any fiber, filament, wire or spooled material during the winding and unwinding process.
