TX - DIGITAL TENSION METER
he TX digital tension meter is designed to measure tension on many
different types of materials, including: wire EDM machines, tapes,
T
yarns and fibers. Model TX 1000, has resolutions adjustable to 1 gram,
and the model TX 5000 has resolutions adjustable to 5 grams. The speed of
material can be displayed in feet per minute or meters per minute, or show
length of part run in feet or meters. There is a minimum and maximum reading
for both tension and speed. Menu selectable calibrations provide maximum
accuracy for material whether filaments, AWG, or custom calibrations. Since
variation in materials and diameters affect tension reading, simply select the
correct material and size from the calibration menu. Calibration certificates
traceable to NIST are included.
