Handy screen printing tension meter for synthetic and steel meshes
The ideal print quality in screen printing is depending on accurate strained screens. This device is for fast and accurate identifying screens, that require reworks.
To measure fast and accurately the tension on a mesh in the screen printing industry according to DIN 16611
General
Synthetic mesh always loses tension in time. Correct mesh tension is one of the most important conditions for accurate, reproducible and high quality screen printing. It influences snap force, precise registration and resolution in printing. For multi-coloured jobs consistent control is necessary.

Specifications subject to change without notice!
Place the instrument in warpwise or weftwise position on the mesh. The weight of the instrument creates a defined pressure to the mesh. The tension is indicated on the analog display immediately. The readings are independent to size and material of the mesh.
