A range of wire tension measuring solutions

Shakun just manufacture compounds but look forward to the shape their very own compounds take and the different tasks they would be used for. After more than two decades serving the industry, the company now manufactures, researches, develops and redesigns compounds, whist keeping a close eye on the environment too. Quality, consistence, safety and service with no compromise are their mantras. From three facilities in India they export products worldwide. Shaping the future of compounds RTM X32 offers both the machine builder and the machine user a basis for efficient cost and quality management.

When connected to a PC the RTM X32 system also offers a number of evaluation options: • Graphical or numeric display of tension data • Storage or printing of production protocols • Trigger of alarms if tension limits are exceeded • Detection of cable/wire breakage • System configuration and parameter set- ting over a web interface The RTM X32 offers a sophisticated range of interface options to integrate it quickly into the existing communication and control infrastructure of the machine. The system is fully accessible via your controller from a central location. Shakun specialises in:

way. Designed as a flexible multi-channel system, RTM X32 is primarily suitable for cage or tubular stranding machines with up to 42 pay-off stations. The RTM X32 series utilises force sensors to measure the tension of individual wires or strands, and transmits this data wirelessly from the rotating to the static part of the machine. On the receiver side, the tension values can be output as a standard signal to an

The importance of tension control becomes significant in any wire, cable or rope making process. Because production efficiency and quality significantly influences your commercial success, a comprehensive solution for your stranding machinery must be considered if available. FMS Force Measuring Systems expands its tension monitoring programme to include three newmulti-channel systems. The Radio Based RTM X32 System: You have everything under control – the safe
