Technical Principles and Innovative Values

Innovation Point 1:The ABB PFTL 101B 2.0KN​utilizes ABB’s proprietary Pressductor®magnetostrictive effect principle,which states that the magnetic properties of steel are affected by mechanical forces.This advanced technology enables highly accurate tension measurement without physical contact,eliminating wear and tear associated with mechanical sensors.The magnetostrictive effect provides exceptional long-term stability,with measurement accuracy maintained within 0.2%of full scale even after years of continuous operation.

Innovation Point 2:The sensor features a rugged stainless steel construction with IP67 protection rating,making it suitable for operation in harsh industrial environments including high humidity,dust,and chemical exposure.The sealed design prevents moisture ingress and contamination,ensuring reliable performance in paper mills,textile factories,and metal processing plants where environmental conditions can be challenging for conventional sensors.

Innovation Point 3:The PFTL 101B 2.0KN​incorporates built-in temperature compensation and zero balance adjustment capabilities,automatically compensating for temperature variations that could affect measurement accuracy.This feature ensures consistent performance across the entire operating temperature range from-10°C to+70°C,eliminating the need for manual recalibration and reducing maintenance requirements.

Innovation Point 4:The sensor’s compact design and multiple installation options,including standard rail mounting and closed installation configurations,provide flexibility for integration into various automation systems.The 6-pin Binder connector and 3-meter cable length facilitate easy connection to control systems,while the built-in amplifier provides a high-level analog voltage output that can be directly interfaced with PLCs and DCS systems.

Application Cases and Industry Value

Case Study:Automotive Manufacturing Tension Control

A leading automotive parts manufacturer in Germany implemented the ABB PFTL 101B 2.0KN​across their production lines for fabric seat cover manufacturing.The system required precise tension control during the cutting and sewing processes to ensure consistent product quality and minimize material waste.The PFTL 101B 2.0KN​sensors were installed at multiple points along the production line to monitor fabric tension in real-time.

The implementation resulted in a 30%reduction in material waste due to improved tension control accuracy.The sensors’fast response time and high repeatability enabled the control system to maintain optimal tension levels even during rapid production speed changes.The IP67 protection rating proved crucial in the textile manufacturing environment,where dust and lint accumulation had previously caused frequent sensor failures.The facility reported a 99.8%uptime for the tension control system over two years of operation,significantly reducing maintenance costs and production downtime.

Case Study:Packaging Industry Application

A major packaging film manufacturer in China deployed the ABB PFTL 101B 2.0KN​for tension control in their biaxially oriented polypropylene(BOPP)film production line.The process required precise tension measurement during the stretching and orientation stages to ensure uniform film thickness and mechanical properties.The PFTL 101B 2.0KN​sensors were integrated with the existing control system to provide real-time tension feedback.

The high accuracy and stability of the sensors enabled the manufacturer to achieve tighter tolerance control,resulting in improved product quality and reduced rejection rates.The sensors’ability to withstand the high-temperature environment near the stretching ovens and their resistance to chemical exposure from processing additives ensured reliable long-term operation.The implementation contributed to a 20%increase in production efficiency and a 15%reduction in energy consumption due to optimized process control.
