Converting
Paper, film, and foil converting industries depend upon precise web tension measurement at all machine zones. For many converting companies, web tension measurement determines both the operating speed of the machine and, ultimately, product quality. Tension control systems also prevent web breaks that result in product rejection/scrap and expensive downtime.
Converting applications
  • Web Tension - low capacity
Tension Measurement Advantages
Our tension measurement systems are the finest in the world. Our tension transducers are designed using temperature compensated foil strain gages in a full Wheatstone Bridge configuration. This configuration significantly reduces signal drift and recalibration requirements while generating extremely accurate measurement signals.The tension measurement systems cover the widest rangeability (ratio of roller weight to wrap angles) of any systems currently marketed.

Instrument offerings range from simple analog transmitters to complex, multi-zone, microprocessor based web tension indicators. High-speed units with PLC interface protocols are available for quality critical, time sensitive control systems.
