TetkoMat 10-100 Screen Tension Meter – Precision Tension Measurement for Optimal Screen Performance

The TetkoMat 10-100 is a high-sensitivity screen tension meter designed to provide accurate measurement control of tension variations within a screen, regardless of frame size. This essential tool enables screen makers to fine-tune their tensioning techniques, ensuring uniformly tensioned screens that optimize screen life and stability. The TetkoMat 10-100 is equipped with a shock-resistant measuring base and a precision mechanical dial indicator, making it a reliable and durable choice for professional screen printers.

Key Features:

  • High Sensitivity: Detects even the smallest tension variations within a screen, allowing for precise adjustments and optimal tension uniformity.
  • Force Deflection Principle: Utilizes a unique 3-point measuring base design that ensures accurate measurements independent of the screen frame or stretching device.
  • Precision Dial Indicator: Provides clear and accurate readings, helping you achieve the correct tension for any mesh specification.
  • Durable Construction: The shock-resistant measuring base and rugged plastic carrying case protect the instrument, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Accurate tension measurements improve registration, reduce rejects, and increase overall productivity.
  • Comprehensive Kit: Includes the meter, calibration plate, and allen wrench, all housed in a convenient carrying case for safe transportation and storage.

Ideal For:

  • Professional Screen Printers: Perfect for operations of all sizes, from small shops to large-scale production facilities.
  • Screen Makers: Essential for achieving consistent, reproducible tension measurements screen after screen.
  • Quality Control: Ensures that every screen meets the required tension specifications, leading to better print quality and fewer production errors.

Product Details:

The TetkoMat 10-100 Screen Tension Meter is designed to enhance your screen printing process by providing precise control over screen tension. By measuring tension accurately and uniformly, this meter helps extend the life of your screens and ensures consistent print quality. The TetkoMat 10-100 works on the principle of force deflection, where its 3-point measuring base allows for independent measurements, unaffected by the screen frame or stretching device. This meter is a substantial improvement over traditional methods such as touch control or gauging by fabric elongation and air pressure values.

Measuring Procedures:

  1. Consult Manufacturer’s Recommendations: Start by consulting the mesh manufacturer’s recommended tension values for the specific mesh being used.
  2. Adjust Dial Pointers: Set the black pointers on the dial to the upper and lower tolerance levels allowed for the selected N/cm value.
  3. Position the Meter: Place the TetkoMat 10-100 measuring head parallel to the warp or weft thread direction, positioning it in the center of the screen. Ensure the meter is at least 3 inches from the inside dimension of the frame.
  4. Measure Tension: Continue measuring until the recommended tension level is achieved. To measure the opposite direction, rotate the meter 90 degrees and repeat the process. Tap the mesh lightly during measurement to account for the meter’s spring-loaded mechanism.

Why Choose the TetkoMat 10-100?

The TetkoMat 10-100 Screen Tension Meter offers screen printers a reliable and accurate method for ensuring consistent screen tension. Its precision and durability make it an invaluable tool for improving print quality, reducing waste, and increasing productivity. With the TetkoMat 10-100, you can trust that every screen is tensioned to perfection, leading to better results and a more efficient printing process.
