Minimum and Maximum Update Rates for speed or tension is adjustable. User-selectable dampening rate speeds up or slows down DRO updates.

 

EDM WIRE APPLICATIONS

Tensitron, Inc.'s association with the wire EDM industry, dates back to the original American prototypes for this technology. Specific EDM wire calibrations are entered into these meters to insure utmost accuracy for each wire type. Our TX-5EDM digital meters have selectable values that mimic the calibration protocol for the Wire EDM machine and therefore help to insure maximum accuracy of wire tension throughout its entire tension range.

 

As a general rule of thumb, the broad scale wire tension range (.004 - .012 dia. wire) for EDM machinery is approximately 200 -1800 g. We recommend our Model No. TX-5EDM that has Special Calibrations for .01 - .03 mm EDM wires; additional custom sizes can easily be added to the menu. All calibrated values are fully traceable to National Standards. Tensitron can typically ship immediately upon receipt of your order.  

 

TAPE AND NARROW BELT APPLICATIONS

The TX-R series are digital tension meters outfitted with different contact elements than the standard v-groove rollers. The cylindrical, flanged, and scooped rollers are used to measure tension on narrow belts, ribbons, tapes, and flat materials where your critical tension ranges are below 5000 grams. Talk to one of Tensitron's application engineers to determine which contact elements will best serve your tension measuring requirements.
