How does closed-loop tension control work?

The load cell measures the material tension, the controller compares it with the set value and commands the brake or actuator to correct it, keeping tension stable from the start to the end of the roll.

What is a load cell for, and why calibrate it?

The load cell measures the tension of the moving material. Calibration makes sure the reading reflects what actually happens on the machine.
