Abstract:
A device for measuring and setting the tension of a band-saw blade, wherein the band-saw blade is guided around two deviation stations arranged at a distance from one another, with which the band-saw blade in each case is guided with a constant radius, and at least one straight-lined path arranged therebetween, wherein there is present at least one transition region from a deviation station with an increasing radius up to the straight-lined path, wherein the band-saw blade in this transition region is guided with an increasing radius at least approximately in the shape of a clothoid arc, wherein the device comprises pressure rollers which depending on the measurement are controllable with respect to change in pressure and are arranged in the straight-lined path, characterized in that the measurement of the stress is effected by way of a measuring station which is arranged in the region in which the band-saw blade in the transition region is guided with an increasing radius of a clothoid arc.
