Abstract

In this paper, a calibration device for silk screen tension meter is designed. The device has a measurement range from 5 to 100 N/cm. It can achieve simultaneous loading in <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> directions by servo motors. For loading accuracy, two high precisionforce sensors are utilized in the closed-loop control system for each direction. To verify the device, it is utilized to calibrate a commercial available silk screen tension meter. The results from the device are compared with that from the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology. It demonstrates that the max error is 0.5 %.
