Software Tension Inspect 3 for displaying real-time readings on a PC and to store them into a file

Function of basic instrument DTSL

Ball-bearing mounted guide rollers
– V-grooved (for material with max. 4 mm Ø)
– U-grooved (for material with 3 up to 15 mm Ø)
– tape grooved (for material with max. width of 10 mm)

Large roller diameter for minimized material deflection

Special guides on the bracket assembly permit easy material acquisition

Tension meter DTXL with large, colour TFT Display

3 different display modes:
– numeric
– numeric with bargraph
– numeric with graph (Time-Tension)

The display rotates in 90° steps for better reading

New, unique, force reduced material catching system

Automatic „Zero-Setting“ in each measuring position using a special sensor technique

1 factory adjustment, as well as 4 material memory locations for customer made calibrations

Calibration adjustment for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material

Programmable MIN- and MAX alarms: indication in the display, if reading is out of limits

The MIN and MAX reading will be shown in the Display for the adjusted time window (2 – 60 seconds).

High speed data sampling (internal 8 kHz) and recording of MIN-, MAX-, last reading, average and standard deviation

For memory modes S, C and F, a trigger point can be set (e. g. 100 cN) at which the tension meter begins recordig data

Selectable units of measurement: cN, daN, g, kg, N, lb

Menu set-up in English or German language

Flexible menu set-up to meet operators demand

Some functions can be password protected
