Dancer Control Drive
DCD-1

The Dancer Control Drive (DCD-1) is designed to provide drive power to a yarn winder DC motor. The motor speed and torque are very accurately controlled by the position of a dancer compensator arm to keep constant or controlled tension on the yarn throughout the package build. Conventional drives for this application suffer from a number drawbacks that have been eliminated by the Dancer Control Drive such as: dancer arm hunting, the need for re-adjustment when tension or yarn speed are changed, expensive and trouble-prone position transducers, linkages, dash-pots, etc. The DCD-1 provides the best dancer-controlled drive available because it is designed to be hassle-free.

FEATURES

Non-contact dancer arm sensing...no transducers, linkages, or damping to wear out or require adjustment.

Perfect dancer-arm dynamics...no hunting.

Will drive any DC motor, either permanent magnet or field-type, up to 200 volt armature and 10 amperes.

May be powered from 60 to 277 VAC with no adjustment or setting changes necessary.

Extremely quick and easy installation / conversion.

No adjustment necessary after installation.

Easy setting of Preset or "thread up" speed by ten-turn potentiometer on compensator panel.

"Auto Preset" option available for adjustment-free, automatic "thread-up speed" setting.

Over-current limiting eliminates overload damage even if motor is stalled indefinitely.

Latest high-tech design makes circuitry fully automatic, self-adjusting, and trouble-free.

Propriety arm position sensing technology and patented "RSC" circuitry developed by Selectronics.

One minute "swap out" of the entire controller should servicing be necessary.

Two-year warranty.
