MST SERIES Tension Meter


Made in Germany4 Ranges

Yarn tension meter with motorized take-up fixture for measuring and adjusting the tension of sewing machines to get best and highest quality stitched seams. Therefore e. g. yarn breaks can be adjusted under constant conditions (speed of the thread).

To control the tension at sewing machines as well as the take-off tension of shuttles.

  • Electronic yarn tension meter MST  with motorized take up with tension range up fixture
  • The electronic tension meter ETX is the basis of this instrument
  • Motorized take-up fixture to have constant speed of the thread 8 m/min
  • Storage of AVG, MIN, MAX and PEAK tension values of a user set time frame. These values can be recalled in the display
  • Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension is constantly fluctuating
  • Vacuum base for positioning the unit on the work plate when tension is measured at the sewing machine
  • Special fixture to determine shuttle tension
  • Output signal:
    – analog 0 – 2 V DC
    – digital RS-232
  • The tension meter MTS can be connected to a PC using the RS-232 interface to monitored readings constantly on a PC
  • 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 100 Hz)

MST diagram 

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 split up to 255 series
– Mode F: as C plus higher sampling rate of 100 Hz = values/s

Model MST can be connected to a PC with the RS-232 cable. With optional available software SW-TI3 »Tension Inspect 3« readings can be displayed, statistically analyzed and saved.

 


Features
  • Storage of last, average, MAX MIN, PEAK-MAX, PEAK-MIN values as well as statistical analysis (average value) during a user-selected period
  • Motorized take-up fixture to have constant speed of the thread 12 m/min
  • Suction-cup base for positioning the unit on the work plate when tension is measured at the sewing machine
  • Special fixture to determine shuttle tension
  • RS-232 output for batch download or real-time data transfer to TensionInspect Software
  • TensionInspect Software plus RS-232 cable provided FREE
