DTSF
Tension Meter

4 Tension ranges available
from 1 – 200 cN up to 20 – 2000 cN

Applications for fragile filaments with Ø up to max. 1.5 mm

Electronic tension meter for different industries

Tension meter with many functions as turnable display, and possibility of custom made calibrations

Special Features

  • Large, v-grooved guide rollers with 32 groove diameter, ball bearing mounted
  • Large bending radius assures gentle handling of the material being measured
  • Special guides on the bracket assembly permit easy material acquisition
  • Calibration with Polyamide Monofilament (PA)
  • Tension meter DTSF with large, backlight LCD-display
  • 3 different display modes:
    – numeric
    – numeric with bargraph
    – numeric with graph (Time-Tension)
  • The display rotates in 90° steps for better reading
  • New, unique, force reduced material catching system
  • Automatic „Zero-Setting“ in each measuring position using a special sensor technique
  • 4 Material memory locations for customer made calibrations
  • Calibration adjustment for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material
  • Programmable MIN- and MAX alarms: indication in the display, if reading is out of limits
  • High speed data sampling (internal 8 kHz) and recording of MIN-, MAX-, last reading, PEAKS, average and standard deviation
  • Selectable units of measurement: cN, daN, g, kg, N, lb
  • Menu set-up in English or German language
  • Flexible menu set-up to meet operators demand
  • Some functions can be password protected

Note: Tension meter DTXF offers additional features, like interface, statistical evaluation on PC and a large internal memory.

Standard Features
