TOWA Digital Thread Tension Gauge

Digital measuring device for measuring the upper and lower thread tension on embroidery machines.

The correct thread tensions of the upper and lower thread are important settings to achieve a perfectly harmonious embroidery pattern.

 

Features and advantages of the TOWA thread tension meter

  1. A device to measure and adjust the upper thread tension and lower thread tension
  2. Easy to read large digital display
  3. Two different measuring units:
    mN (milli Newton) - scale from 0 to 4500 | gF (gram force) - scale 0 to 600
  4. Energy saving functions
    Automatic energy saving function: If the device is not in use, it switches to energy saving mode after 50 seconds to save energy.
    Automatic switch-off function: The device switches itself off after 5 minutes of non-use.
  5. Built-in thread cutter

 

Why is it important to adjust the thread tension correctly?

The correct thread tensions of the upper and lower threads are important parameters to achieve a perfect and harmonious embroidery pattern.

Signs that the upper thread tension is not correct:

  1. Thread loops form on the surface
  2. Visibility of the upper thread on the back of the design
  3. Thread breakage
  4. The embroidery is distorted

Signs that the bobbin thread tension is not correct:

  1. Visibly loose bobbin thread on the underside of the embroidery
  2. The bobbin thread is pulled upwards and is visible in the design
  3. Poor embroidery quality
