Description

Functional Characteristics

  • High Precision: ±0.02% FS accuracy enables detection of 0.1 N force changes, critical for applications like lithium battery separator production.
  • Fast Response: ≤5 ms reaction time eliminates resonance issues in traditional sensors.
  • Temperature Stability: Built-in compensation maintains accuracy across -30°C to +70°C.
  • Anti-Interference: Electromagnetic shielding ensures stable operation near motors or inverters.
  • Self-Diagnostics: Real-time monitoring of sensor drift, circuit faults, and overloads.
  • Remote Management: Supports Modbus RTU, Profibus-DP, and Ethernet protocols for PLC/DCS integration.
  • Edge Computing: Onboard data preprocessing reduces main control system load.

Application Scenarios

  • Paper Manufacturing:
    • Monitors paper tension in wet-end processes to prevent breaks and wrinkles.
    • 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 ensure uniform 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.
    • 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 avoid scratches.
    • Example: Reduced strip breakage by 70% and annual downtime by 200 hours in a steel plant.
  • 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%.
  • Printing Industry:
    • Maintains substrate tension within ±0.1 N in gravure/flexo printing.
    • Example: Cut waste from 3% to 0.5%, saving over $1M annually in a packaging printer.
