These tension meters series has been specially designed for applications textiles (2000 tex, max) or wires up to 0.5 mm diameter and is ideal for limited-access space applciations. The DTSE/DTXE series of handheld digital meters is available in 4 tension ranges, from 1-200g up to 20-2000g.
The small measuring head of the DTSE/TDXE has a dimension of 64mm x 36 mm and is thus the perfect choise for limited access space applications. Furthermore, the DTSE/DTXE series has small, ball-bearing mounted, hardcoat anodized aluminum V-grooved rollers, which are suitable for material speeds up to 900 m/min (2000 m/min with "K" option). Data is indicated on a large, backlight LCD-display, which rotates in 90° steps and offers 3 different display modes: numeric, numeric with bargraph and numeric with graph (Time-Tension) Amongst other useful function are the automatic zero in each measuring position, visual min and max alarms when reading is out of limit andd high speed internal data sampling (8 kHz) for capture of accurate Min & Max Peaks.
The DTSE is the basic version with 4 material calibration locations for customer calibrations and the DTXE is the advanced version with more functions such as data memory, statistical evaluation and 10 material memory locations. Both versions have a rechargeable lithium polymer battery with a duration of 40 hours of continuous use, are CE certified and have a guarantee of 1 year.
