Overcoming the control challenge (tension control)
Tension control is indeed critical in many applications and industries. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Thus, monitoring and maintaining tension at a defined level does not have a single straightforward solution. There are many ways in which tension can be monitored in a machine application. The different possibilities will be evaluated in this section. We are not saying that these are the only ways to maintain tension, but these are widely adopted solutions in the industry today.
Ways to measure tension
Let us have a look at how to measure the tension of material in some practical applications. There are many methods that can be used to maintain tension on a product. Tension could be monitored via either direct means or indirect means. The methods that we will mention provide possibilities and are not the only ways of measuring and maintaining tension but provide a good understanding of how things are managed...
