## Revolution Regenerative Brake System

The patented **Energy-Recovery Hybrid Brake** features a regenerative motor positioned between the reel and the pneumatic brake, working in tandem to guarantee consistent braking performance.

Thanks to its **electrical axis**, the system can detect and prevent slippage by monitoring the RPM differences between the left and right sides of the reel.

Revolution also ensures **automated tensioning of rolls** of any size, eliminating the need for manual operator intervention and reducing the risk of injury.

To **prevent paper tearing**, Revolution accelerates the roll during the launch phase and assists in overcoming initial inertia—allowing splicing to proceed smoothly without slowdowns. The result: improved paper quality and reduced waste.

While traditional braking systems waste more than 1 kW of energy per hour (converted into unwanted thermal energy), Revolution **recovers excess energy** and returns it to the plant’s power grid.

The integrated system also includes a **user-friendly control system** with a color touchscreen interface for seamless integration with ERP production systems.

Revolution is provided with a customizable flange design to **retrofit all roll stands**, regardless of shaft or chuck configuration.
