The New CHECK-LINE models ZEF and ZED employ a strain-gauge system for accurately measuring the running line tensions on a wide variety of yarns, fibers and fine wires.

Its trigger-operated roller shifting mechanism makes it easy to acquire the running material. Single-button automatic zero permits operation in any orientation while maintaining highest accuracy.


Model ZEF

  • 0.5 - 100.0g
  • 1 - 200g

Miniature rollers make these models ideal for delicate yarns/fibers and fine wires as well as those applications where access space is limited.

For Spandex and similar materials, specifiy model ZEF-100-T.


Model ZED

  • 1 - 500g

This model is recommended for all other applications where miniaturized rollers are not necessary.


Features

  • Easy-to-read LCD display with auto power off.
  • Simple 2-key operation
  • Powered by two (2) AAA alkaline batteries
  • ZEF V-grooved guide rollers are rated for speeds up to 900m/min or, optionally, 2000m/min.
  • ZED V-grooved guide rollers are rated for speeds up to 200m/min or, optionally, 3500m/min.
  • Supplied in an atractive foam-fitted carrying case.
  • NIST Calibration available

Notes

  1. All models can be calibrated in cN. Replace suffix "G" with suffix "CN". Example: ZED-500-CN
  2. ZEF models are calibrated using a 0.12mm diameter monofilament. ZED models are calibrated using a 0.2mm diameter monofilament.
  3. Custom calibration with customer-supplied samples is optionally available.
