Anyone who is familiar with the
Indian cable industry understands
the significance of high performance
capability in a user-friendly package.
Products that include useless
features, that are difficult to handle,
and complicated to apply have a
difficult position in this market. With
that in mind, FMS has launched a
new wire tension monitoring series for
stranding machines.
A company that values high
productivity while counting on
advanced production facilities is
the Indian Usha Martin group. The
enterprise manufactures all styles
of cables. Usha Martin’s Wire Rope
division has begun to modernise
major production lines and modify
its equipment to state-of-the-art
levels.
Ease of retrofitting and operational
simplicity was at the top of the
requirements list for the RTMX42.
The RTMX42 series utilises force
sensors to measure the tension of
individual wires or strands, and then
transmits the data wirelessly from
the rotating to the static part of the
machine. On the receiver side the
system provides a sophisticated
range of interface options for
controlling or tension monitoring
applications.
It can be efficiently integrated into the
existing communication infrastructure
of the machine. RTMX42 is offered in
five different sub versions:
• RTMX42.IOs for tension monitoring
with up to 42 channels and analogue
outputs to provide controlling
capability
• RTMX42.PC: Tension monitoring
with data processing and analysis
capability (data logging, quality
reports)
• RTMX42.PC/IOs combines the
features of the PC and IOs versions
• RTMX42.MODBUS makes the
system very appealing for machine
builders because of its fast bus
interfaces. It allows real time control
of breaks or drives in the machine
• RTMX42.PC/MODBUS combines all
advanced features of the MODBUS
and PC version.
