D-3000ce Dancer ControllerThe Montalvo D-3000ce Dancer Controller was developed for unwind and rewind applications that employ a dancer arm. It is useful in the processing of imperfect rolls or in applications that experience dramatic tension transients. The "Progressive PID" regulator offers wide regulating range as well as electronic dampening of the dancer to ensure accuracy. |
 |
DTI-3000ce Dancer Controller with Tension IndicationThe DTI-3000ce adds a new dimension to web tension control systems that employ a dancer. Dancer control is provided by Montalvo's unique "Progressive PID" circuitry, which regulates output to the unwind brake or rewind clutch and maintains the position of the dancer arm. The signal provided by the load cells is displayed on the analog meter and is used for setting and monitoring actual web tension. |

I-3200ce & 3300ce IndicatorsIf web tension indication is required when using Montalvo T, N and UPB series load cells, model I-3200ce is used. I-3200ce is available in total tension, left/total/right and dual range configurations. SW-Series foil gauge load cells use the I-3300ce which is available in total tension or dual range configurations. |
 |
M-3200ce & M-3300ce Amplifier ModuleAmplifier modules monitor web tension by amplifying load cell signals. They provide excitation voltage as well as zero and calibration circuitry. The output can be used to drive a digital or analog meter or for further processing to interface a PLC, PC or a servo drive. The M-3200ce modules work with the N, T and UPB series load cells from Montalvo. Three different types providing total tension, left/total/right and dual range configurations are available. The M-3300ce modules are available in two different configurations. They work with the SW series foil gauge load cells. |

P-3000ce Pneumatic InterfaceP-3000ce is used to facilitate the installation of a complete Montalvo tension control system consisting of a pneumatic brake or clutch, and a dancer control or load cell based tension control. It includes pressure gauge, air filter, I/P converter and may include optional multiple range control valves in a System 3000 cabinet. |

S-3100ce Digital Tension ControllerThe heart of the advanced S-3100 is Montalvo's proprietary "Diamatic" control algorithm, which ensures uniform control response regardless of roll diameter. The S-3100 is available for unwind and rewind applications. It is fast, precise, easy to use, and loaded with features that include nonvolatile memory for storage of control parameters for up to 15 materials, semiautomatic calibration and control tuning, and "bumpless" transfer between auto and manual. |
 |
S-3110ce Digital Tension ControllerThis is a compact, panel mount version of the S-3100ce. It was designed to save space without sacrificing key features or performance. S-3110ce utilizes the same advanced circuit board as the S-3100ce enclosure model. All parameters are set by means of the alphanumeric display. |
 |
U-3500ce Ultrasonic Tension ControllerFrom Montalvo comes the U-3500ce Ultrasonic Tension Controller that provides non-contact web tension control in unwind and rewind applications. This microprocessor-based open-loop system is well suited for applications where tension load cells or dancer rolls cannot be mounted, or in applications where web contact is not desired. With a variety of unique capabilities, this new addition to the System 3000 family of controllers brings features only available in advanced closed-loop systems to the open-loop. |
 |
X-3000ce Analog/Digital ControllerThe X-3000ce web tension controller is Montalvo's top-of-the-line analog controller with digital parameter handling. It was developed to provide accurate, repeatable tension control on all types of web processing machinery. It may be used in unwind or rewind applications with input signals from any of Montalvo's semiconductor strain gauge load cells. |
