Tensi-Master Tension Indicator

CMC® Cleveland-Kidder® Tensi-Master® Tension Indicators provide transducer excitation and tension readout on web process or wire machinery. When, combined with Cleveland-Kidder® Tension Transducers (load cells), they provide an accurate web tension reading, helping to measure, monitor and control the continuous web process for consistent product quality. Tensi-Master Tension Indicators are available in an enclosed or open panel mounting. Both models are of rugged industrial construction.

  GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TENSI-MASTER indicator systems by Cleveland-Kidder provide the highest degrees of application flexibility available to measure tension in continuous web processes. Features include a single printed circuit board design with easily added option cards. The circuit board may be mounted on a chassis for installation on a panel, or mounted in a standard TENSI-MASTER enclosure.

Analog or digital meters, operator stations and options are selected and installed to complete the TENSI-MASTER indicator system. Options include AC power cord, "MS" electrical connector plate, high and low tension limit detection cards, an isolation amplifier card and Total-Right-Left tension indication.

TENSI-MASTER indicators, when combined with modular TENSI-MASTER transducers, or any other Cleveland-Kidder transducers, provide an accurate reading of web tension to maintain product quality.
