Non-compensated force-measuring rollers lead to faulty measurements, In the case of FMS force sensors of the RMGZ series, this is achieved by aligning the force sensor such that the measuring direction is exactly parallel to the axis of rotation of the strander. -
Page 9: Installation Of The Electronics Components In The Rotating Part Of The Machine
Otherwise, measured value fluctuations occur during machine operation due to the high sensitivity of the FMS force sensors. These interfere with the assessment of the product quality later. Due to irregularities in the installation surfaces, the alignment may have to be readjusted very precisely. -
