The OTSE-CF sensor is specifically-designed for accurate tension measurement on carbon fiber tows, bundles and ribbons (CFK). The compact design and unique packaging allows for easy integration into a production line, e.g. after the unwinding creel. Any grid spacing and grouping is possible by using a customized carrier rail. Optional integrated connector is available for connection to a air supply providing an internal positive pressure inside the housing preventing carbon fiber dust from entering and reducing internal temperatures.
The OTSE-CF includes built in amplifier, the OTS-CF sensor is also available without amplifier.
- Sliding sleeve (roller) has special coating optimized for transporting carbon fiber bundles
- Compact housing design - only 22 mm wide allows for hi-density pacecment of sensors when multiple tows are to be measured
- Very high overload protection up to 10x
- Sliding sleeve is easily replaceable
- Robust aluminium housing
- Provides high accuracy tension measurement and long-term stability
- Built-in measuring amplifier
- A specialized mounting system using a carrier rail
- Optional sealing gas connection
