Special Features


The analog display of tension meter DX2 shows changing and fluctuating tensions fast and enables an optimal process adjustment

The built-in material thickness compensator compensates different material diameters for a particular range (only DX2-1000 and higher ranges).

Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material

Special finger support located on the rear side reduces the effort to move the outer roller assembly

Custom-built configurations and special calibration are available
