100 % may cause permanent damage to the movement and must be avoided under any circumstances. The ID plate with the serial number as well as the calibration label (optional) are provided on the bottom of the instrument, the SCHMIDT Quality Seal are provided on the surface. Calibration label (option)
3.2 Material thickness compensator (Only used at instruments with material thickness compensator) The 3-roller system for tension measurement relies on the displacement of the middle roller to give an indication of the line tension. As the material thickness changes, there will be a change in the tension reading, even when the line tension has not changed.
3.3 Measuring with the tension meter Requirement: If necessary, a sample of the material to be measured must be inserted in the thickness compensator as described in chapter 3.2. Process material Guide rollers Filament guide Guide rollers Measuring roller Thumb piece fig.
Any difference in process material size and rigidity from the standard material may cause a deviation of the accuracy. In 95 % of all industrial applications the SCHMIDT calibration has been proven to provide the best results and is used for comparative purposes.
3.5 Air damping (optional accessory Code A) During operation, as in spooling or winding machines, high frequency tension fluctuation can occur. This process fluctuation can result in rapid pointer swings which make it difficult to read the scale. This effect can be reduced by using the built in Air Dashpot Damping mechanism.
The question of finding the right frequency of calibration accuracy verification depends on several different factors: Operating time and load of the SCHMIDT tension meter Tolerance band defined by the customer Changes of the tolerance band compared to previous verifications of calibration Therefore, the interval between verifications must be determined by the user`s Quality Assurance Department based on the user`s experience.
