Helman Engineering
Fiber Tensioner Division has
devoted the past eighteen years in the development of the most advanced, universal
tensioning system on the market. Since the September, 1984 delivery of its first
operational prototype tensioner, Helman Engineering has worked extensively with most major
commercial composite, Filament Winding and aerospace manufacturers. A SBIR research contract from USAF
Wright Patterson Aeronautical Labs enabled Helman Engineering to further its knowledge and
expertise, resulting in a quantum technological leap in the art of tensioning.
Following its relocation from Lincoln,
Nebraska to Greenville, South Carolina in 1989, Helman Fiber Tensioner
Division has further enhanced
its tensioner system capabilities as well as expanded its product line to include air
chucks, air shafts, roller tension sensors, tension meters and related products. Helman has
established its name world wide in the composite, filament winding and fiber handling industry.
Helman is by far
the leading supplier of very high quality and very reliable tensioning equipment.
Typical customers are government,
aerospace, aircraft, research and medical manufacturing facilities. Some of the government
labs who have relied on Helman Tensioners are Edwards AFB, Phillips Lab at Kirtland AFB,
Lawrence Livermore, Sandia National Lab, Los Alamos, China Lake and NRAD (Navy Command
Control and Ocean Surveillance Center).
Presently, Helman's market base has
expanded well beyond composites to many other tensioning and manufacturing delivery
systems. |
