SONA-TROL is an efficient and low cost system for controlling tension and determining unwind and rewind diameters.
SONA-TROL Diameter measurement systems can be used to compliment load cell based tension control systems.
SONA-TROL Replaces diameter and ratio calculators and provides superior accuracy and provides diameter information at zero speed.
SONA-TROL combines sonar principles and technology with state of the art digital and analog electronics.
SONA-TROL is unaffected by material inconsistencies, dirt, lint and variations in line voltage.
SONA—TROL replaces electromechanical follower arms and diameter calculators. Tension is controlled precisely from the point where the material comes off a roll to ensure constant tension despite out of round rolls.
