Stressometer Low-Force System
ABB are manufacturers and suppliers of low-force Stressometer roll with a pressductor sensor for low-tension applications like aluminium or copper finishing foil.
Low-force sensing – why does it matter?
Low-force sensors are used to provide precise measurement of very small mechanical forces, often down to just a few grams or Newtons, in rolling processes involving ultra-thin metals like specialty steel, aluminum, and copper foils.
As industries push toward thinner materials and tighter tolerances, low-force sensing becomes critical in enabling accurate control of flatness and thickness and preventing issues such as defects, material breaks, and inconsistencies that can delay production, reduce yields and impact on final/end product quality.
