General Description This latest tension controller from CMC Controls is designed for use with tension transducers or dancers to maintain constant unwind tension for all forms of web processing machinery. The measurement of the actual web tension is achieved by sensing with strain...
Controller Instruction Manual Range: DGT300+ Type: QICD Revision: V1.0 2. Installation Selection of Controller Location The controller must be installed in a dry, ventilated, non-hazardous, vibration free location. Preferably inside an electrical cabinet and out of reach of the machine operator. The controller can be front panel mounted, but it is usually preferred that it is mounted onto a standard 35mm wide DIN rail (EN 50022) inside a larger cabinet.
