• Electronic yarn tension meter MST with motorized take up with tension range up fixture
• The electronic tension meter ETX is the basis of this instrument
• Motorized take-up fixture to have constant speed of the thread 9 m/min
• Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension is constantly fluctuating
• Vacuum base for positioning the unit on the work plate when tension is measured at the sewing machine
• Special fixture to determine shuttle tension
• Tension meter MST has a coloured, backlight TFT display with 3 different display modes
  – numeric
  – numeric with live bargraph
  – numeric with graph (time-tension)
• The display rotates in 90° steps for better reading
• Tension meter MTS can be connected to a PC using the USB interface to monitor readings constantly on a PC
• Memory for 60.000 readings
• 5 different memory modes can be selected by the operator:
  • Mode S: only statistical values per series are displayed
  • Mode H: storage of the X-Y-diagram for reviewing after finishing a series of measurement
  • Mode C: continuous logging over a user set time and max. 999 series of measurement (2 Hz)
  • Mode F: as C with higher sampling rate (200 Hz)
  • Mode D: storage of single readings and statistic

Model MTS can be connected to a PC with the USB cable. With the software SW-TI3-M »Tension Inspect 3« readings can be displayed, statistically analysed and saved. For more information see “Optional Accessories

•  Selectable units of measurement: cN, g, N and lb
• Very high data sampling rate (internal 1 kHz)
• Storage of MIN, MAX, last reading, average and standard deviation per measuring interval
• User-set MIN and MAX alarms with indication of TFT display if reading is out of limits
• Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension fluctuates
• Automatic “Zero-Setting” in each measuring position using a special sensor technique
• 3 separate calibration material memory locations for custom calibrations
• Calibration adjustment for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material
• Menu set-up in English or German language

Standard Features

• Battery or mains operation
• Rugged aluminium housing
• Easy to operate
• CE approved (tested for electromagnetic compatibility)
• Certificate of Compliance with the order 2.1 according EN 10204 is included
• Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according EN 10204 with calibration report

Left: Seam with correct adjusted thread tension
Right: Too much threat results in not sufficient linkage of the threat the the used material
