Web Tension Measuring Technology and Rollers are Inseparable

Presented by Bill Stahl, INOMETA, Inc

In recent years, the speed with which materials are manufactured, printed, coated, wrapped and cut has increased many times over. These largely automatic, recipe-controlled processes run without manual intervention. Therefore, web tension measurement is of essence. Accurate measurement results are obtained when guide rollers and web tension sensors are precisely matched.

We will examine the different applications today types of measurement systems that are required for those applications. Along with discussing why specific rollers and their design are critical to accurate measurement results. To help round out our understanding of these systems and rollers required we will have an overview of the Theory of Web Tension Measuring Technology.
