Force Measurement System
Strip-Tension / Web-Tension Meter
Strip-Tension / Web-Tension Meter
IMS force measuring systems measure strip tension continuously and in real time.
Strain-gauge based force transducers are mounted underneath the bearing housings to measure the reaction force as a function of the wrap angle of the measuring roll.
Optional wrap angle compensation is available for use of a strip tension measuring system to control strip tension during coil winding.
measurement of the horizontal or vertical force
calculation of the strip tension in dependence on the wrap angle
Special Features
