ABB PFTL101A 0.5KN 3BSE004160R1

Description

Functional Characteristics

• High Precision: Captures 0.1 N force changes, critical for applications like lithium battery separator production (±0.5 N tolerance).
• Robust Design: IP67-rated housing withstands dust, humidity, and vibrations.
• Fast Response: ≤10 ms reaction time eliminates resonance issues in traditional sensors.
• Temperature Stability: Built-in compensation maintains accuracy across -40°C to +85°C.
• Anti-Interference: Electromagnetic shielding complies with IEC 61000-4, ensuring stable operation near motors or inverters.
• Self-Diagnostics: Real-time error monitoring for sensor drift or circuit faults.
• Remote Monitoring: Supports PLC/DCS integration via Modbus/Ethernet for closed-loop control.

Application Scenarios

• Paper Manufacturing:
  • Monitors wet-end tension to prevent web breaks during paper formation.
  • Example: Reduced web breaks by 30% and improved coating uniformity by 20% in a paper mill.
• Textile Industry:
  • Controls yarn tension within ±0.5 N to avoid breakage or uneven fabric density.
  • Example: Cut yarn breakage by 60% and boosted efficiency by 15% in a textile factory.
• Packaging Systems:
  • Stabilizes film tension in food packaging to prevent seal leaks or cosmetic defects.
  • Example: Lowered fault rates by 40% and material waste by 25% in a beverage packaging line.
• Metal Processing:
  • Regulates strip tension in cold rolling mills to prevent scratches or snaps.
  • Example: Reduced strip breakage by 70% and annual downtime by 200 hours in a steel plant.
• Printing Industry:
  • Maintains substrate tension within ±0.1 N in gravure/flexo printing to eliminate registration errors.
  • Example: Cut waste from 3% to 0.5%, saving over $1M annually in a packaging printer.
• Lithium Battery Production:
  • Enables tapered tension control for 10 µm film winding without pressure marks.
  • Example: Raised separator roll qualification rates from 92% to 99.5%.

Industry Applications

• Manufacturing: Automation and quality control in automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
• Energy: Wind turbine blade control and solar panel production.
• Construction: Crane and hoist systems for safe load handling.
