Economical low tension measuring instrument for checking fibers, yarns and fine wires in areas with limited access. The ZED employs a strain-gauge system to measure the running line tension on a variety of yarns, fibers and fine wires accurately.
The running material can easily be acquired by the trigger-operated roller shifting mechanism. The single-button automatic zero permits operation in any orientation and guarantees simple operation and highest accuracy.
Model | Ranges | Measuring Head Width* | Calibration Material** | ||
ZED-200 | 1-200 | 63 mm | PA: 0.20 mm Ø | ||
ZED-500 | 1-500 | 63 mm | PA: 0.20 mm Ø | ||
Other units of measure are available, such as g. * Width of filament guide ** Suitable for 95% of applications - PA = Polyamide Monofilament Special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended, if process material differs significantly from the SCHMIDT calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape. For this purpose a material sample of about 5 m should be supplied. |
