Dover Flexo Electronics, Inc. - Product Announcements

The iAmp2 is a compact amplifier / interface module that connects directly (via standard industrial connectors) to DFE tension transducers, or "inline" on transducer connector cables. iAmp's function is to convert millivolt-level transducer output signals to a 0-to-10 Volt DC signal proportional to tension and a 0-to-1mA signal proportional to tension.

The TrueTension™ TI17C indicator with Quik-Cal™ push-button zero and calibration is a versatile single-channel tension transducer interface (amplifier) for monitoring tension in any zone on web or filament processing machinery. (read more)

The compact WebHandler™ 3 Tension Controller combines automated closed-loop process tension control with an easy-to-use keypad interface. The WebHandler™ 3 maintains a pre-selected tension set point on a web machine or press by measuring web tension from a tension transducer, then sending a compensating signal to a tensioning device.

An intrinsically safe interface between transducers and a Dover controller, drive system or computer. FireGuard is UL Listed for use when tension transducers and analog tension meter (optional) are located in hazardous Class I Division 1 or 2 area. Similar to the TrueTension Indicators in function, the FireGuard also reduces risk of fire or explosion. (read more)

The 60 Series Dual Disk Brake, named for its six-inch diameter disks, offers high performance in a torque range from 3 lb-inches up to 1,010 lb-inches.

This brake delivers the precise torque range needed for a particular application by allocating actuation of just the number of cylinders needed, from one up to six. (read more)

The NWI Narrow Web Tension Transducer combines a bearing-mounted idler roll and two tension sensing elements in one package. It measures tension in a moving web of paper, film, foil or other material. (read more)

The MAC is an eight-channel amplifier - interface consisting of eight independent tension amplifiers on a single circuit card.

The MAC provides excitation voltage to connected tension transducer pairs, and puts out a 0-to-10Vdc signal proportional to tension for each pair of transducer signal inputs. (read more)

For those measurement applications with a high load (heavy tension) on the substrate and idler rolls in the web path, the UPBH or SUPB are the tension sensing tools to use. These transducers are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum and are built to last. (read more)

The RFA Ribbon Filament Transducers are designed to measure tension in any moving ribbon, filament, or very narrow web. Ideal for wire, plastic, rubber, metal, glass, composite or other flexible substrate. Three standard wheels available--one for ribbon (specify width), one for filament, or the adapter model for custom requirements. (read more)

The Roll Shell transducer (Model RS) is based on the Model C transducer. These transducers, used in pairs, quickly convert a simple metal tube into a tension-sensing idler roll. One Roll Shell Transducer locks into each end of an aluminum or steel cylindrical tube to make an easy-to-install tension-sensing roll. (read more)

The TrueTension^TM TI14 Indicator is a low cost device that measures and displays total web tension in any tension zone. The unit measures tension by taking an output signal from one or two tension transducers and amplifying the signal to display actual tension on an indicator meter. (read more)

The VNW (Very Narrow Web) transducer is a compact tension sensing device for measuring process tension in narrow web (up to six inches wide), ribbon or filament. The VNW transducer combines the robust and versatile design of DFE's time-proven Model C shaft-end transducers with a choice of mounting styles and wheel options from the RFA -style cantilevered transducers. (read more)

The Imux MultiPlexer is an enclosed tension signal display device with a meter and switch for selecting between multiple (up to 32) MAC tension inputs or 0 to 10Vdc inputs from other DFE tension indicator devices. Requires 115V, 60Hz power input. The Multiplexer supplies 24 Vdc power for up to four MAC cards. (read more)

The most versatile, easy-to-use automatic tension controller available. Use in unwind, intermediate, or rewind tension zones. SteadyWeb controls clutches, brakes, and variable speed drives. All operator adjustments are on one board to simplify set-up. Optional functions include taper tension, dual transducer input, DC and pulse tachometer inputs, and more. (read more)
