Abstract: The automation of mechanical systems implies a deep knowledge of the behavior of the elements that participate in achieving the established objective, and, in particular, of the relationship in which they influence each other. In this paper, I presented how I designed and built an original sensor installation for measuring the tension in the textile yarn supplied to textile machines, which can be easily mounted on the yarn line in any direction.
Keywords: tension in the yarn, sensor, calibration, diagram, signal.
