Summary

Web Tension Control Overview

Various web tension control systems available using controllers, load cells, dancers, ultrasonic sensors, and amplifiers.

Open & Closed Loop Web Tension Controller

Touch Panel

Tension Controller

Easy-to-use touch panel operation
Only one controller required for both open and closed loop applications
Three (3) P.I.D. settings for acceleration, running, and deceleration — controller maintains consistent tension relative to line speed; does not use an average value
Input and output bar graph display for easy visual confirmation
Operator-friendly and easy to interface with existing machine controls
Controller available without display for system integrators

Ultrasonic Diameter Sensors

Integrated Web Tension Control Systems

Load Cells

Dead and live shaft flange mounting styles
Full Wheatstone bridge strain gages improve accuracy by allowing controller to average the input from both load cells
Integrated mechanical stop protects strain gage; 300% maximum overload
Shielded 10 meter cables with industry-standard M12 connectors
