Load Cell Control Load Cells measure the force in the web and compare that force to the set point tension in the controller. If there is any variation, the controller automatically increases or decreases the output, thus maintaining constant tension. Dancer Control The Dancer indicates a position error which is proportional to the web tension, and the controller compares that position to the set point within the controller. If there is any variation the controller automatically increases or decreases the output, thus maintaining constant tension. Ultrasonics Ultrasonics can be used in open or...
