The next WAT + load cell offers more versatility , accuracy and measurement stability for narrow web applications
REDEX group is extending the offer of load cells dedicated to the tension measurement for the markets where the company is already a supplier of reference , such as composites , wire & cable , converting , packaging , labelling , battery manufacturing .
The tension control specialist offers with WAT + series , the best of its know-how in force measurement with an innovative concept based on a very modular architecture able to handle pulley or roller for strip , wire and narrow web applications and bearing housing or coupling supporting the shaft for larger web .
To go further into details , the REDEX WAT + sensors range is made from a versatile load cell ( core of the solution ) on which different mounting accessories can be fixed .
Through the internal structure optimization , 3 different measurement sensibilities are available by size . The very compact size 1 is covering 50N-250N-500N ranges while the new size 2 is extending measurement range to 1000N-2500N-5000N for larger web in converting market or stronger products in cable or metal strips applications .
Among many other costs saving benefits , this unique design enables to use same accessories by size , whatever the chosen load range .
Even more , advanced research with finite elements calculation made on the internal structure of the cell enables as a remarkable result to ensure that the measurement value remains the same whatever the position of the product on a cantilever roller .
Another crucial reason for this modular solution is the flexibility offered to engineers to design their own accessories according to any of their special requirements , such as special length , special surface treatments , special pulleys shapes , etc .
REDEX Group is a reference supplier of tension control solution under its brand MEROBEL . WAT + load cells , together with Ampliblock +, the new release of the universal sensors signal amplifier are providing a package solution completing the measurement offer for any kind of dynamic and accurate tension systems .
