Electronic thread tension meter with motorized take-up fixture for measuring and adjusting the tension of embroidery machines to get best and highest quality stitched seams. Therefore e. g. yarn breaks can be adjusted under constant conditions (speed of the thread). The MST 2000 offers a measuring range from 1 to 2000 cN and, according to the manufacturer, an accuracy of ±1 % full scale (end of measuring range) ±1 digit (typically ±0.5 % full scale) Hans Schmidt & Co GmbH is a manufacturer of tested and high-quality control instruments such as tension meters for the textile industry.   Features Electronic yarn tension meter MST  with motorized take up with tension range up fixture Motorized take-up fixture to have constant speed of the thread 9 m/min Tension meter MST has a coloured, backlight TFT display with 3 different display modes numeric |  numeric with live bargraph | numeric with graph (time-tension) The display rotates in 90° steps for better reading Tension meter MTS can be connected to a PC using the USB interface to monitor readings constantly on a PC Memory for 60.000 readings 5 different memory modes can be selected by the operator Selectable units of measurement: cN, g, N and lb Very high data sampling rate (internal 1 kHz) Storage of MIN, MAX, last reading, average and standard deviation per measuring interval Automatic “Zero-Setting” in each measuring position using a special sensor technique Calibration adjustment for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material Delivery Includes Tension meter MST with case vacuum base, Li-Ion battery USB AC-Adapter with 4 adapters (EU/USA/UK/AUS-NZL) Operating instruction in German or English (as requested)

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 A device to measure and adjust the upper thread tension and lower thread tension Easy to read large digital display Two different measuring units:mN (milli Newton) - scale from 0 to 4500 | gF (gram force) - scale 0 to 600 Energy saving functionsAutomatic 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. 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: Thread loops form on the surface Visibility of the upper thread on the back of the design Thread breakage The embroidery is distorted Signs that the bobbin thread tension is not correct: Visibly loose bobbin thread on the underside of the embroidery The bobbin thread is pulled upwards and is visible in the design Poor embroidery quality

TOWA TM-1 Thread Tension Gauge Digital measuring device for measuring the lower thread tension on embroidery machines. The correct thread tensions of the lower thread is an important setting to achieve a harmonious embroidery pattern.   Features and advantages of the TOWA TM-1 thread tension meter A device to measure and adjust the lower thread tension Easy to read analog display One measuring unit: mN (milli Newton) - scale from 10mN to 400mN Built-in thread cutter Ready for immediate use: no batteries or special settings are required.   Why is it important to adjust the thread tension correctly? The correct thread tensions of the lower threads is an important parameter to achieve a perfect embroidery pattern. Signs that the lower or bobbin thread tension is not correct: Visibly loose bobbin thread on the underside of the embroidery The bobbin thread is pulled upwards and is visible in the design Poor embroidery quality
