Solving the Rewinding Tension Control Puzzle: A Production Engineer's Story

[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6659249, member: 447632"] It will depend on the orientation of the two spool shafts, and the path taken by the material, but if you fit load cells to measure the horizontal force component on the mounts of one spool, you could be reading tension in the material. The vertical force component will be confounded by the weight of the partial roll. Another way would be to measure the torque on the motor mounts, but that will depend on the changing spool radius, which is the current problem. What type of motors are used to drive the spools?
