Tension meter

DTMB
Basic unit for many applications

Electronic tension meter manufactured by Schmidt for applications with yarns, fibers, wires, cables, optic fibers, tire cord, webs & warps, tapes & bands, tows, ribbons etc.

Easy mounting For online application, built-in material thickness compensator with material sample inserted


Field adjustment function
for fine tuning of the calibration for materials which differ from factory standard calibration material; the displayed value can be increased or decreased in ±1.5% increments.

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 measures force on middle sensing roller
 Selectable update rates (0.5, 1, 2 or 4 seconds) to provide steady readings when tensions fluctuate (electronic damping)
 Recall of measured MIN, MAX and PEAK values
 Zero adjustment feature permits use of the tension meter in various measuring positions, maintaining highest accuracy
 Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for online use
 Everything in operator's view:
  • the guide rollers
  • the measured material
  • the readings
  •  Measuring frequency: 62 measurements/second
     The display shows averaged values calculated during the update interval t1
     Calibration to customer supplied material is available (up to two different material calibrations)
     Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
     Ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved guide rollers for Line Speeds up to 2,000 m/min
     Rugged aluminium housing for long-term durability
     Battery operated (AC adapter for continuous operation available)
     Specific Test Report with Calibration report optionally available
     Material thickness compensator for better accuracy
     Microprocessor automatically fine-tunes the calibration to correct for different material diameters.
