TRUETENSION™ TI-18 TRANSDUCER INTERFACE

(ROCHESTER, NH, USA--September 18, 2001) For monitoring tension in any zone on converting, printing and other types of web machinery, Dover Flexo Electronics, Inc. introduces the True Tension™ TI-18. The TI-18 is a 3" x 5" transducer interface/ amplifier circuit card packaged in the customer's choice of compact configurations for mounting and use on the machine or in a control panel. The interface takes a signal from tension transducers (installed on an idler roll in the web path) and delivers a signal proportional to tension to a drive, PLC or a tension controller.

Modular design makes the TI-18 a versatile, cost-effective tension control component for OEM's and end-users alike. The TI-18's most basic configuration is the bare circuit card that can be mounted in an electronic component panel or cabinet. A second version offers vertical mounting on a DIN rail with a card connector and edge guide. The TI-18 is also available as a compact, completely enclosed tension indicator (with remote meter supplied separately).

Standard features include 24VDC power input, choice of 0-10 VDC isolated or non-isolated output, or 4-20 mA isolated or non-isolated output proportional to tension, 0-1 mA damped output for a tension meter, dual calibration, and adjustments for tension zeroing, calibration and meter damping. Designed to meet European Low-Voltage and EMC directives, the TI-18 is CE marked in its full enclosure version.
