DTS Digital Tension Meters
This Electronic Tension Meter has been designed for applications in the textile and wire industry. Delivered with a variety of rollers and measuring ranges, it can be used in several distinct industries such as the wire, textile or carbon fiber industry.
Furthermore, the DTS Digital Tension Meter is hand-held and available with 12 different tension ranges from 0.2 - 200 cN up to 0.6 - 60 daN.
The built-in material thickness compensator and the calibration adjustment allow fine tuning of the calibration for materials, which differ from factory standard calibration material.
Its backlight and rotatable LCD display make it easy to read under every condition.
New functions such as programmable MIN- and MAX alarms, calibration memory for up to 4 customer made calibrations and new material catching system also assist you in the improvement of your quality control processes.
To sum it up, this DTS Tension meter delivers the critical process information required to meet today's strict quality reporting systems mandated under ISO 9000 guidelines.
