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 

Special Features

Electronic yarn tension meter MST  with motirized 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 monitore 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)
Content of the memory
 
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 splited up to 255 series
– Mode F: as C plus higher sampling rate of 100 Hz = values/s

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