Tension Meters ETPB, ETPX

3 tension ranges from 0.5 - 100 cN to 1 - 500 cN

Electronic tension meter for hard to reach and limited access space applications.
Available in two models: ETPB (Basic unit) and ETPX (with memory and outputs)
Hand-held unit with ceramic pins up to max. 6000 m/min

Special Features Model ETPB

  • Hand-held unit with non-rotating ceramic pins, outer pins V-grooved max. 6000 m/min
    for line speed up to max. 2000 m/min model ETB or model ETX may be used
measuring head with ceramic pins tension meter model ETPB/ETPX
  • Tension meter with guide rollers mounted on long shafts to reach into tightest places
  • Storage of AVG, MIN, MAX and PEAK tension values can be recalled in the display
  • Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension is constantly changing.
  • LCD display with illuminated background for better reading
  • Display can be reversed for right and left hand use to reach all measuring positions easily
tension meter model ETPB/ETPX with reversed display
Additional Special Features model ETPX
  • 2 interfaces: 1. serial interface (RS 232) for connecting to a PC
                         2. analog interface (0 - 2 V) for connecting to a line recorder
  • Memory of max. 4000 displayed tension values splited 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 5 kHz)
graph of measured values tension meter ETB/ETX
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 measurements
- Mode C: statistics plus 4000 displayed values arbitrary splited up to 255 series
- Mode F: as C plus higher sampling rate of 100 Hz = 100 values/s
laptop with software SW-TI2 Model ETPX can be connected to a PC with the cable ETX-CC
(max. 80 values/s can be transfered, depending on tension range).
With the programm SW-TI2»Tension Inspect« readings can be
displayed, statistically analyzed and saved. For more information
see "accessories"
