Tire Industry

The calendaring of steel cord and textile cord material web material is a continuous process which is generally buffered by a looper. In these production facilities it is necessary that web tension remains constant for trouble-free operation. In order to guarantee a high machine availability in calendar lines the measurement electronics is of redundant type in these pillow block sensors.

In a tire building machine the various layers of narrow web material that are being placed in the process have to be under constant tension in order to achieve a constant wrapping hardness. This single-sided precisely measuring sensors of the ZAK type have proven themselves for this task.
