DTSF-DTXF Optic Fiber Digital Tension Meter
The DTSF tension meter comes with large, v-grooved guide rollers with 32 groove diameter, ball bearing mounted.
For measuring filaments such as optical fibres, carbon and technical fibres.
This tension meter comes with many functions as turnable display, and possibility of custom made calibrations.
Checkline's DTSF tension meter for different industries, Applications for fragile filaments with Ø up to max. 1.5 mm.
4 Tension ranges available from: 1 - 200 cN up to 20 - 2000 cN
The large bending radius assures gentle handling of the material being measured, special guides on the bracket assembly permit easy material acquisition
The DTSF has a large, backlight LCD-display which can show 3 different display modes:
– numeric
– numeric with bargraph
– numeric with graph (Time-Tension)
The display can also rotates in 90° steps for better reading. It also has a automatic „Zero-Setting“ so it zeros in each measuring position using a special sensor technique.
The DTSF comes with 4 material memory locations for customer made calibrations, and it’s calibration adjustment is for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material.
Other special features:
- 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
