True Tension Transducer Amplifier/Indicator

For monitoring tension in any zone on converting and printing web machinery, Dover Flexo Electronics, Inc. introduces the TI17B True Tension Indicator. The TI17B is a 3 x 5 inch transducer amplifier card packaged in one of three convenient compact configurations for mounting in a cabinet or control panel.
A versatile, cost-effective tension control component for OEM's and end-users alike, the TI17B takes a signal from tension transducers (installed on an idler roll in the web path) and delivers a 0-to-10 V signal proportional to tension to a drive, a PLC or a PID controller. It operates with 115V or 230V input (or 24V for the TI18B alternative).
The TI17B True Tension Indicator has several advantages over the previous generation TI17A that it supersedes:
1) Terminal strip connections at the bottom of the vertical mount TI17B make external wiring easier.
2) TLS (Tension Limit Switch) option. TLS is a convenient web break prevention and detection feature. Machine operators can be alerted automatically to tension spikes or deviations. A front panel LED activates when the high-or low-tension set point is tripped
3) Ordering simplicity. Customers choose between two popular base styles: horizontal or vertical in semi-enclosure. Enclosure cover and DIN-rail clip mounting are options. Designed to meet European Low-Voltage and EMC directives, the TII7B is CE marked in its full enclosure version.
