1.0 Introduction
The KXE Warp Tension Meter is designed to measure tensions during warping and
weaving. The unique sensor configuration provided two 25 mm wide cylindrical roller
for the capture of two groups of yarns, one on each side of the sensor for measurement.
Therefore the sensor will be measuring 50 mm of ends while the process is running.
The electronic indicator provides for measurement and storage of the critical high and
low peaks that will be measuring in the weaving operation. These peaks can them be
analyzed and used for process evaluation. Stored data can be transferred to a PC and
analyzed using the FREE Tension Inspect software.
