Mechanical Hand-Held Tension Meters EDM
EDM
Wire EDM Tension Meter
The DX2-EDM Hand-Held Mechanical Tension Meters are designed to measure the tension on all current wire EDM machines with using a wire diameter of approx. 0.25 mm. These models are used throughout the world and considered the standard tension meter for the industry.
The correct erosion wire tension reduces wire oscillation and guarantees a pinpoint accuracy of your machines. Always check the tension in calibration mode on the moving wire. Make sure the generator is switched off for the tension check.
