Wire Tension Control
Simple wire tension meter based on
- Commercial PC extension board = 8 ADC & digital outputs
- Custom electronic module – DC source, amplifier and relay controlled via digital output.
- Wire may by connected either to DC source (send excitation pulse) or via amplifier to ADC
- Wire excitation by current pulses
- Digitization of the wire free oscillations
- Oscillation spectrum extraction with FTT
- Peak finding and base frequency extraction
No other equipment – even power is from PC
Fully programmable – easy to adopt and build-in into any PC – based system
