The FTMB is a special tension meter for sensitive materials as optical fibers, carbon fibers, technical fibers etc. It uses low-inertia 32 mm dia. rollers for fragile materials sensitive to bending over a small radius. Rollers are available in plastic or aluminum.
FTMX Additional Features
- Built-in datalogging with RS232 and 0-1 VDC Analog output
- Memory capacity of 100 values plus min, max, peak, avg and standard deviation
- Optional TensionView software available for batch download or continuous real-time trending
- Special guides on the bracket assembly permit easy material acquisition
- Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
- large, V-grooved guide rollers with 32 mm groove diameter, ball-bearing mounted
