Shakun Polymers do not 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.
Shakun specialises in:
EcoTek: Halogen free flame retardant
compound

Shaping the
future of

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
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
existing PLC for monitoring or controlling
the relevant production parameters.
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.
RTM X32 offers both the machine builder
and the machine user a basis for efficient
cost and quality management.
