On-line Tension Sensor

0 to 40N capacity

stackable, easy installation on carrier rail

The sensor OTSE-CF is designed especially for tension measurement on fiber ribbons and fiber bundles, e.g. Carbon Fiber (CFK).

The compact design and the stackability allow an easy integration into a production line, e.g. behind an unwinding creel.

Any grid spacing and grouping is realizable by customizing the carrier rail
