Tension Meter in Sewing Machines_MTS series

Tension Meter MTS 3 Tension ranges available from 1 - 500 cN up to 1 - 2000 cN

For fibers up to 2000 tex

Electronic yarn tension meter with motorized take-up fixture for measuring and adjusting the tension of sewing machines to get best and highest quality stitched seams. Therefore e. g. yarn breaks can be adjusted under constant conditions (speed of the thread).

Tension meter to control the tension at sewing machines as well as the take-off tension of shuttles

*Features:

Electronic yarn tension meter MST  with motorized take up with tension range up fixture

 

The electronic tension meter ETX is the basis of this instrument

 

Motorized take-up fixture to have constant speed of the thread 8 m/min

 

Storage of AVG, MIN, MAX and PEAK tension values of a user set time frame. These values can be recalled in the display

 

Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension is constantly fluctuating

 

Vacuum base for positioning the unit on the work plate when tension is measured at the sewing machine

 

Special fixture to determine shuttle tension

 

Output signal:
– analog 0 – 2 V DC
– digital RS-232

 

The tension meter MTS can be connected to a PC using the RS-232 interface to monitored readings constantly on a PC

 

Memory of max. 4000 displayed tension values split up to 255 series of measurements and statistics (Last, AVG, MIN and MAX of displayed values, MIN-PEAK and MAX-PEAK are values measured within a measuring frequency of 100 Hz)

 

4 different memory modes can be selected by the operator:
– Mode S: only statistical values per series are displayed
– Mode L: statistics plus 10 displayed values of each series of measurement
– Mode C: statistics plus 4000 displayed values arbitrary split up to 255 series
– Mode F: as C plus higher sampling rate of 100 Hz = values/s

Model MST can be connected to a PC with the RS-232 cable. With optional available software SW-TI3 »Tension Inspect 3« readings can be displayed, statistically analyzed and saved. For more information see “Accessories”
