Product Information

Functional Description
The RTM X42 IO Telemetry System provides the tension value of single strands or wires
in cage or tubular type stranding machines. All personnel involved in the production
environment gain easy access to the to these important process parameters. For
controlling purposes a PLCcan be interfaced via analogue outputs. Many OEMs currently
deliver their new machines with preinstalled RTM X42 IO systems, but due to the
modular concept and the compact components, retrofitting our system to your existing
machinery is also straightforward. Reliable radio transmission of the data and optional
battery-packs make slip rings obsolete. The typical RTM X42 IO system can handle the
measurement of up to 10 individual wires or strands, but it is also possible to
interconnect multiple telemetry systems to allow for an unlimited number of force
sensors.
