Loop Controls are digital controllers, used to ensure a tension free entry loop before product enters the cutting machine. By controlling the feed rate of a prefeeder, or in some cases the cutting machine, detectors ensure the product is fed into the machine with a slack, tension free, loop.

Loop Controls are digital controllers, that control the feed rate of material into the cutting machine. This is achieved by ensuring a tension free loop before entry into the cutting machine. They acheive this by controlling the feed rate of a prefeeder, with detectors that ensure the product is fed into the machine with a slack, tension free, loop.

Metzner offers loop control systems that dynamically monitor loop length to stabilise material feed in real time. These systems adjust the speed of either the cutting machine or the prefeeder, depending on loop tension. This avoids stretching or tearing of elastic materials.

### When would I need a Loop Control?

- When processing elastic, soft or delicate materials. Higher tension can distort the product.

- Within automated setups where looping occurs and needs to be managed without interruption.

- Within lines using prefeeders or take-off units that benefit from active feedback-based speed control.

- When operating high-precision cutting lines that require consistent, exact length control.
