Description

Special features:
• Built-in material thickness compensator improves accuracy for changing diameters on DX2-1000 and higher ranges
• Special finger support reduces the effort to move the outer roller assembly
• Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisi tion of the running material.
• Custom-built configurations and special calibration are available
• Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for continuous tension measurement

Standard features:
• Everything in operator’s view: – the guide rollers – the measured material – the readings
• Ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved guide rollers
• Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy
• 41 mm Ø scale
• Rugged aluminium housing
• Inspection Certificate with Calibration Report optionally available

Material thickness compensator :

For better accuracy the material to be measured or a similar material with the same diameter should be inserted.

Finger Support :

We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges of tension meter DX2
