Roofing
Asphalt shingle manufacturers worldwide face the same adversaries daily; heat, cold, grit, vibration, water leakage, and vigorous production schedules. Machine temperatures soar in the pit and slate sections where molten tar and slate are added and then fall just as rapidly in the cooling section. Water-cooled rolls in the cooling section often leak directly onto measurement transducers creating further environmental problems.

Web Tension Systems Solve All Headaches.
Robust web tension transducers withstand the difficult conditions of heat, cold, and liquid contamination that are typical in shingle manufacturing machine zones. Temperature compensated, Full Wheatstone Bridge construction withstands intense machine vibration as well as temperature swings up to 250°F. NEMA 4 and 4X (100% stainless steel) modules rated to IP67 eliminate contamination and corrosion problems completely.
Instrumentation designed specifically for web tension measurement complements and enhances transducer performance. DXt-40 transmitters measure each system transducer independently to provide maximum resolution and accuracy. Left, right, and total tension displays allow constant visual access to machine functionality.
Premium web tension measurement and control often results in higher machine operating speed with fewer breaks.
