Tension measurement & control

Using its many years of experience, TTS Systems went back to basics:

•  Measure the tension in the tape as close to the production part as possible

•  Keep the transducer’s roller diameter to a minimum so as not to damage the tape

•  Use a high speed analogue load cell amplifier, to give real time feedback to the control system

After a short commissioning period, the customer’s machine is now winding tape 15% faster than before and with improved product quality.
