Tension measurement of individual web sections
In slitting, the tension measurement of individual webs has so far mainly found its way into primary slitters / rewinders. On machines of this size, there is sufficient space for several individual measuring rollers. In the case of more compact machines (up to two meters working width), the focus is on using winding and differential shafts to keep the material tension of all parallel web sections as uniform as possible. With this method, however, the individual material tensions remain unknown and can vary greatly. FMS offers a novel concept with the FMS-segFORCE. A measuring roller with several independent force sensors for tension measurements in each individual web section.
