STRTM Segmented Tension Roll
The Segmented Tension Roll transducer is a specialty idler roller that measures tension on multiple individual web strands in a slitting and rewind environment, or at multiple points across the width of a single web in a conveting or film application.
The Segmented Tension Roll can also be used for inspection of the tension profile on incoming roll stock. A converter can quickly check for substrate non-compliance on purchased rolled material by setting up a tension-profile monitoring station at Receiving or Incoming QC and rejecting defective material before it reaches processing.
The standard segmented roll transducer consists of a single shaft having multiple idler rolls mounted on it. Each roll segment has integrated tension sensors in both ends. Electrical connectors are installed on the shaft, as a goup, at one end of the unit. The standard roll is aluminum with a smooth plain finish. Other finishes are available by request. The shaft can be mounted in a carrier frame that has one or more supports placed between rolls if desired.
The STR transducer is available in two frame sizes; size 1 and size 2. The size 1 STR has a 3" diameter standard roll, and the size 2 STR has a 4" diameter standard roll. The maximum number of segments is limited to ten for the size 2 transducer and 5 for the size 1. The minimum number of segments is two. Maximum shaft length is 120"
