Precision Strain Gauge Sensing for Highest Accuracy
A precision strain-gauge sensing system accurately measures the force on the middle sensing roller. This is converted into a highly accurate tension measurement using proprietary calibration formulas which correct for material diameters, rigidities, gravity and other critical parameters.
Thickness Compensator Automatically Adjusts Calibration
The microprocessor automatically fine-tunes the calibration to correct for different material diameters permitting a single DTMB or DTMX to be used on a wide range of process materials without sacrificing precision or accuracy.
Field Adjustment for Fine Tuning of the Calibration
Increase or decrease the displayed readings in 1.5% increments or select Special Calibration (SP).
High-Speed Measurement Captures Max, Min & Peak Tension Values
Tensions are sampled 62 times per second and averaged over a user selected interval of 0.5, 1, 2 or 4 seconds. The maximum, minimum and peak values are stored for recall to the display.
Precision V-Grooved Rollers for Line Speeds Up to 5,000 m/min
Ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved rollers are hard coated aluminum for speeds up to 2,000 m/min. Optional High-Speed Rollers (U) are offered for 5,000 m/min. Hardened steel, ceramic and plastic rollers are also available.
Rugged Aluminum Housing For Long-Term Durability
Die-cast aluminum housing and surface-mount electronics insure trouble free operation in the toughest environments.
