Abstract :
A uniform lateral tension profile is of great importance in web transport: much wastage and costly plant down-time problems arise when this is not attained. Until recently there has been no accurate way of determining this tension profile, and hence no way of implementing a web tension profile control system. We describe a novel measurement system that is currently under development that aims to address this situation.
