About Web Tension Indicators

Web tension indicators measure and report tension parameters in web or other flat-sheet production processes. Some web tension indicators also provide rate control, basis weight control, and thickness control. Devices with totalizer, web alignment, and web breakage detection capabilities are also available. Web alignment refers to the placement of a sheet or web on the rollers. Sometimes, one edge is monitored and kept in the same relative place throughout the cycle. Products with breakage detection can sense a zero-tension (breakage) event and send signals or sound alarms to shut down the process. Web tension indicators with data logger and chart recorder capabilities are also available. Units that are sold in Europe comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) directives from the European Union (EU).

Products & Services Related to Web Tension Indicators

Batch Controllers

Batch controllers maintain the correct size of a discrete batch of process material, such as the volume of a liquid. They are often interfaced with sensors such as load cells, or with volumetric flow meters.

Flow Controllers

Flow controllers monitor and maintain flow-rate variables, typically in process applications.

Humidity Controllers

Humidity controllers monitor and maintain proper humidity levels in environmental test applications, food storage areas, and electronic equipment rooms.

Level Controllers

Level controllers monitor, regulate, and control liquid or solid levels in a process.

Pump Controllers

Pump controllers monitor flow and/or level variables, and control a pump accordingly to maintain the desired levels. Pump control can include simply turning a pump on and off, or more advanced controls for pump speed, output pressure, etc.

Specialty Industrial Process Controllers

Specialty industrial process controllers are used in unlisted, specialized or proprietary applications.

Temperature Controllers

Temperature controllers accept inputs from temperature sensors or thermometers, and then output a control signal to keep the temperature at the desired level.
