TrueViewTM 1100 Tension Indicator - Now Accepting Pre-Orders
The TrueView™ 1100 is an easy-to-use, rugged, touch screen tension indicator designed for use with high-sensitivity semiconductor strain-gage load cells. It features a bright 500 nit, impact-resistant touch screen display suitable for industrial environments.

Housed in an alloy enclosure, it is machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum for superior strength and durability. Engineered with flexibility in mind, DFE's newest indicator can be DIN rail-mounted, panel-mounted (with included bezel) or affixed to a vertical column with a band-style clamp. The TrueView™ 1100 is backward-compatible with all DFE tension transducers manufactured since 1974.

Tension Control for Blown Film Manufacturing
For businesses that are winding blown film, accurate tension measurement and control have proven to compensate for minor substrate imperfections and process deviations. In turn, this helps eliminate web and roll defects, especially when extensible materials are being wound.

On a typical blown film line there are several points where tension transducers and electronics can be introduced for improved web management...

Tension Control in Slitter-Rewinding Processes
In converting, “slitting” refers to the process of cutting large rolls of material into smaller rolls. Whatever the roll material consists of, it has characteristics and properties which will affect the quality of your finished roll. Proper tension control is needed throughout the process to avoid roll defects such as starring, telescoping, or excessively tight or loose rolls...
