    Product Description
    General Purpose Digital Tension Meter
    9 Ranges 0.1 - 200g up to 5.0 - 50kg
    For Yarns, Fibers, Wire, Cables, Optic Fibers, Tire Cord, Webs & Warps, Tapes & Bands, Tows, Ribbons and more

    The new CHECK-LINE® DTMB Digital Tension Meter accurately measure the running line tensions of yarns, fibers, wires, cables, optic fibers and similar process materials.

    It's unique design combines the latest microprocessor technology with the reliability, simplicity and ruggedness found in CHECK-LINE mechanical tension meters.

    The DTMB provides critical process information required to meet today's strict quality reporting systems mandated under ISO 9000 guidelines.

    Features


    • Precision Strain Gauge Sensing for Highest Accuracy
      A precision strain-gauge sensing system accurately measures the force on the middle sensing roller. This is converted into a highly accurate tension measurement using proprietary calibration formulas which correct for material diameters, rigidities, gravity and other critical parameters.
    • Thickness Compensator Automatically Adjusts Calibration
      The microprocessor automatically fine-tunes the calibration to correct for different material diameters permitting a single DTMB or DTMX to be used on a wide range of process materials without sacrificing precision or accuracy.
    • Field Adjustment for Fine Tuning of the Calibration
      Increase or decrease the displayed readings in 1.5% increments or select Special Calibration (SP).
    • High-Speed Measurement Captures Max, Min & Peak Tension Values
      Tensions are sampled 62 times per second and averaged over a user selected interval of 0.5, 1, 2 or 4 seconds. The maximum, minimum and peak values are stored for recall to the display.
    • Precision V-Grooved Rollers for Line Speeds Up to 5,000 m/min
      Ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved rollers are hard coated aluminum for speeds up to 2,000 m/min. Optional High-Speed Rollers (U) are offered for 5,000 m/min. Hardened steel, ceramic and plastic rollers are also available.
    • Rugged Aluminum Housing For Long-Term Durability
      Die-cast aluminum housing and surface-mount electronics insure trouble free operation in the toughest environments.
