tension control system - isomatic
The isomatic is an automatic control system of the web tension. The system is studied for various application fields
where measurement and control of tension of unwinding / rewinding reels are required.
Typical application areas include control of the tension of moving materials in printing and converting machines.
By programming the relevant parameters, the system can be adapted to various applications.
Thanks to the advanced programming features a wide range of optional functions and operations can be performed.
The system is designed for uninterrupted operations in harsh factory environments, with features for quick job setup.
The isomatic system is made of a display unit connected to one or two load cells, which assess the web tension.
Alternatively, it is also possible to check the web tension by means of a potentiometer. The display unit can
communicate with magnetic powder brakes, with electrovalves to control pneumatic brakes or with drivers to control
motors.
The display unit isomatic can also communicate with a remote computer using and optional serial link.
The display unit is fitted with an alphanumeric LCD display and a programming keyboard.
The display unit is connected through cable connections to the other parts of the system.
Load cells are designed to control the tension of rewinding and unwinding machines. They are fixed at the end of the
cylinder and detect the power applied to the cylinder during rewinding and unwinding process.
