9 ranges, 0.1 - 200.0 cN to 5 - 50 daN
The new CHECK-LINE DTMX Digital Tension Meters accurately measure the running line tensions of yarns, fibers, wires, cables, optic fibers and similar process materials.
It's unique design combines the latest microprocessor technology with the reliability, simplicity and ruggedness found in CHECK-LINE mechanical tension meters.
The DTMX provides the critical process information required to meet today's strict quality reporting systems mandated under ISO 9000 guidelines.
