• Image 1 is a cross section of the Air Turn Bar; Image 2 is a cross section along the width. A tension detector tube is attached to the intermediate vertex along the width of the Air Turn Bar. Inside the bar, the air is supplied from the blower in a pressure range of micro to low 0.5kPa〜10kPa.
• Supplied air pressure level is selected depending on the weight or tension of the substrate. The temperature for the compressed air supply can be set to high for drying or curing.
• As shown in Image 2, the pressure changes when the Air Turn Bar is used to float and put tension on the material.
• 「Lead tube → Pressure sensor → Controllers → Calculation →Tension conversion display → Output → Control indication → Substrate tension control → Tension detector transmission inner pressure change → Transmission 」
• Thus a closed-loop control (negative feedback control) is achieved for electricity and air pressure transmission system. Approximately same system can work for a liquid turn bar.
