CMC Controls Ltd

Ultra Cartridge

CMC Controls is pleased to supply the fantastic range of Cleveland-Kidder® Ultra Line Cartridge-Style Tension Transducers (Load Cells). These tough and robust units have been expertly designed and manufactured to provide users with the accurate measurement and control of web tension in a wide range of process machinery applications. Units are modular in design and feature 25lb to 1,000lb MWF load ratings. They are typically used with lightweight materials and provide users with increased performance compared to competitive load cells by increasing the operating tension range from 8:1 to 40:1. Please see full product descriptions online.

Ultra CLT

We are also pleased to supply the new Cleveland-Kidder® range of Ultra-line Cantilevered Transducers (CLT). These flexible units can feature shaft rollers in a range of lengths, diameters and materials and can accommodate virtually any type of roller. The Ultra-line CLT has been designed to eliminate the effects of shifting cantilevered loads due to the force remaining the same along the roller regardless of where the web material is situated.

Customers can choose from 10 load ratings within two body sizes offering sensing from 0.1lb to 500lb MWF Imperial (50g to 200kg Metric). The Ultra-Line CLT can be supplied with End Connectors or Side Connectors to suit application requirements.

Ultra Slim Cell

The Cleveland-Kidder® Ultra-Line Slim Cell Transducer forms part of the Ultra Line Tension Transducer family. This unit features a low-profile design and is particularly effective for use with new applications or retrofits where there are space restraints. It can be used with rotating shafts or dead shaft rollers and is corrosion resistant, water resistant and sealed from dust.

The Ultra-Line Slim Cell transducer can be used alongside the CMC 2700 and DTAX Amplifiers to achieve increased performance compared to competitive load cells and increases the operating tension range from 8:1 to 40:1.

Ultra UPB

The Cleveland-Kidder® range of Ultra UPB Washdown-Duty Load Cells features units designed specifically for pillow block bearings and rotating shaft installations. These units provide users with accurate measuring and monitoring of precise tension on web process or wire machinery. Three models are available in the range featuring different MWF ratings. All units are completely sealed and are corrosion and chemical resistant. These load cells are widely used in demanding industrial environments for applications such as for the production of paper, steel, textiles, roofing shingles, linoleum, rubber, foil and more. Please visit our website to view full product descriptions.

CMC TA2700 Series

CMC Controls supplies the excellent Analogue Tension Amplifier 2700 Series. Units in the range feature analogue outputs of either 0.10V or 4-20mA for remote indication and for use with a control system. They also feature dual measuring ranges as standard and are housed in robust IP40 casing.

The CMC TA2700 range is suitable for all types of tension and force transducers. All units are safe for use in hazardous areas and feature a range of internal adjustments. Please visit our website to download and view the TA2700 Series datasheet.

CMC LETIX

We also supply the LETIX Digital Web Tension Indicator. This fantastic unit provides users with a continuous reading of true web tension as a percentage of total tension or in real engineering units. It features a transducer bridge as standard with supply excitation of 5V or 1-V DC, a scalable digital display and an isolated analogue output from 0 to +10V at 2 mA maximum.

The LETIX Digital Web Tension Indicator is easy to install and can be used as remote display and/or as the input to a control system.

Classic Controllers

CMC is pleased to supply customers with the Classic range of web tension controllers.

Our range includes:

• Unwind Controllers: these controllers feature similar display features to indicators but also feature a selection of additional features such as ‘SPFT START’ which has been designed to prevent tension transients when the machine is started, and ‘PARK’ which prevents the unwind reel from rotating as the machine stops.
• Intermediate Controllers: these controllers feature the same display features as our unwind controllers and are designed for use in conjunction with motor drives to provide accurate tension control between process sections on any web converting machine. 
• Rewind Controllers: for surface rewinding or centre rewinding depending on the type of application.

Classic CLT

The Classic CLT Cantilever Transducer is a flexible unit that can feature shaft rollers in a range of lengths, diameters and materials. It can accommodate virtually any type of roller up to approximately 20inches long and only the idler roller needs to be replaced. The Classic CLT has been designed to eliminate the effects of shifting cantilevered loads as the force remains the same along the roller regardless of where the web materials is situated. Two body sizes are available featuring 10 different load ratings providing sensing from 0.1lb to 500lb. Please see full product descriptions online.
