Multi-Zone Web Tension Transmitter: Model DXt-40

DXt-40 Tension Transmitters measure up

to four independent web points, or zones,

to ensure maximum operating speeds

without belt, felt, or product breakage.

Each zone is precisely measured with

750,000 count resolution and produces a

corresponding, high resolution, 4-20mA

output. Total, individual, and differential

outputs from two transducers (load cells)

permit a comparison of tension signals on

either side of a sheet, strip, or web.

Digital calibration eliminates time

consuming dead weight loading and

machine ‘strapping’. With four integral

operating modes, DXt-40 transmitters offer

wide operating flexibility and easy

installation. Simply select the mode that

matches your application, enter the

transducer zero and span values, and

begin system operation.

When combined with unique HTU

transducers, units measure both horizontal

and vertical tension vectors. Based upon

both measurements, software algorithms

calculate the precise, resultant force vector

and exact linear tension component.
