This module is imperative in industries like paper manufacturing, textiles, and metal processing where process stability and product consistency hinge on precise tension regulation. Keywords such as “industrial automation,” “material tension control,” “high precision,” and “process optimization” highlight the module’s focus on delivering real-time, intelligent tension control.
How the Product Works & Fits into a System
The ABB PFEA112-65 3BSE030369R0065 functions by processing signals from connected load cells (e.g., pillow block load cells) that mechanically measure force exerted on machine rolls. It converts these force measurements into analog or digital tension values, which are then used to control the production line tension automatically. The device supports input from two load cells and outputs signals compatible with industrial controllers for closed-loop tension control.
The compact, rugged module (approximately 16 cm x 16 cm x 12 cm) is installed inside control cabinets, designed to integrate smoothly with ABB’s process control systems. Equipped with programmable settings and a user-friendly interface, it supports real-time tension adjustments and diagnostic functions, contributing to safer, more efficient operation.
