Tension meter KXE
Special Features
top
- Portable measuring head to measure yarn groups of weaving and warping machines
- The sensor can easily be engaged or disengaged also while the machine is running
- Constant measuring width at the yarn group of 50 mm by catch thread system
- Storage of last, average, Max, MIN, PEAK-MAX, PEAK-MIN tension values during an operator set measuring period
- Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension is constantly changing
- LCD display with illuminated backgroud for better reading
- Display of the tension meter can be reversed for right and left hand use to reach all measuring positions easily
- 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 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 5 kHz)
- 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
 | 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" |

Operation
 | Swivel the lever in direction to the handle to move the reference frame with the support rollers upwards. Hold the measuring head over the yarn group, so that it runs parallel to the measuring feeler and the support rollers. Shove the measuring roller through the yarn group, turn the measuring head by 90° and swivel the lever forward. |
