Is it difficult to achieve precise tension for your processes using filaments, fibers, or wires? Do you need to save money by reducing waste? Does improper tension affect the quality of the goods you are producing? The use of a tension meter can ensure exact tension measurement and maintain tension control precisely, consistently, and reliably to improve quality and control processes.
Why does tension matter? An important factor affecting the quality of goods or processes in manufacturing and testing environments is tension. Getting the tension right can improve quality and performance in goods produced and save costs by reducing waste. Incorrect tension may result in damaged or inferior products.
How can you test tension? If you’ve had problems keeping yarn tension consistent, producing quality coils, processing optical fibers, extruding electrical wires, monitoring twisting processes, etc.; use a tension meter to provide precise, reliable tension measurement.
What solutions are available? Tensitron offers the TX-1 series digital tension meters to help maintain process and quality control in manufacturing and testing environments. Why choose the TX-1 tension meter? The TX-1 tension meter is a high-technology digital meter for spot testing tension on moving or stationary materials. TX-1 meters precisely display tension in grams, pounds, or Newtons. An extensive standard menu provides selections for copper wires and filaments as well as the option to add up to 10 custom calibrations for your materials. Plus, the TX-1 provides:
