The yarn speed and length meter YS-20 combines the function of four separate instruments in one:
– Speed and length meter
– contact measuring of revolutions
– contact measuring of velocity of rotation
– non-contact measuring of revolutions
2 Slide-in measuring adapters for yarn speed and length meter YS-20 make it simple to convert from contact to non-contact or to speed and length measurement
