DXL Tension meter with large rollers for minimized material deflection
For fiber optic cables and buffer tubes up to 8mm max
Special purpose model features large rollers to minimize bending of materials like optics, carbon and technical fibers.
Fragile filaments such as fiber optics and other technical fibers may require large roller diameters and a wide roller spacing.
Note: This model does not include a material thickness compensator
