Web tension meter and web tension controller

摘要

A simply constructed web tension meter is of reduced dimensions capable of preventing an object material from being displaced during a web tension measuring operation. The meter consists of a hollow body provided with an inlet port to which a fluid supply source is connected. An ejection port is opposed to one surface of the object material with a clearance left therebetween. An internal pressure measuring port, and a web tensioning unit are provided with a pressure measuring device joined to the internal pressure measuring port. This meter further includes as necessary another hollow body provided with an upstream port connected to a fluid supply source, and discharge ports opposed to the other surface of the object material with a clearance left therebetween. A web tension controller consists of the same web tension meter as mentioned above in an object material handling apparatus, and a web tension regulator regulates the tension imparted to the moving object material. To the web tension regulator, a processing device in the web tension meter is connected through a control signal transmitter.
