Multi-Zone Web Tension Transmitter: Model LCt-104

LCt-104 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, 4-20 mA output.

Total, individual, and differential outputs

from two HTU transducers 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,

LCt-104 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 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. Auto-wrapping

maintains smooth, constant tension

for winding zones as the roll diameters increase

or decrease.
