Tension Meter MST 500
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.
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 |
