RTM Radio Transmitted Tension Monitoring System for Rotating Machinery Applications
The FMS RTM system (radio transmitted tension monitoring system) is the first tension measurement system for rotating applications which doesn't require any sliprings.
RTM X2 - The Cost-Effective System for Wireless Tension Control
The FMS RTM X2 transmits wire tension data from the inner to the static machine part of rotating machinery. The tension of the strands can so be individually measured, controlled and monitored. The system is comprised of force sensors, an EMGZ482-Transmiter and EMGZ482-Receiver. All of the components were specially designed by FMS for rotating applications. If mounted on the turning part of tube stranders they will deliver accurate tension data also under high centrifugal and coriolis forces. If closed loop control is required, 0…10V or 0/4…20mA outputs are used to interface the control device or the PLC of the machine. The system is powered by a battery or the on-board 24VDC supply. The RTM X2 System is reliable, accurate, economical, easy to operate, and virtually maintenance-free. It can be easily applied on most tube stranders, bunchers, twisters or any rotating machinery for two measuring points.

RTM Radio Transmitted Tension Monitoring System
The FMS radio transmitted tension monitoring system (RTM) is designed to monitor tension of individual wires or cables in rotating applications. This system sends all the collected data via radio transmission. The RTM system is a complete tension monitoring package designed to easily retrofit onto older machines. It is ideal for upgrading existing machinery to current tension measuring technology.
