TEXTURMAT ME+
Automatic Crimp Contraction and Shrinkage Tester
The TEXTURMAT ME+ is a test instrument for fully
automatic length measurements on yarn hanks,
characterised by its high flexibility in terms of test
sequence configuration, choice of measuring loads
and time-intervals for the loading- and unloading
periods. As a result, it is possible to carry out different
testing methods according to different standards,
e.g. crimp contraction or shrinkage tests not only
on (textured) filament yarns but also on fibre tow. -
DynaFil
Dynamic Thermal Analyzers
The DYNAFIL was initially developed for testing textured yarns but, at a later stage, also proved to be a breakthrough in the testing of POY for quality assurance purposes in the spinning of filament yarn.
To-date, the most important application areas for thermomechanical tests on running yarns. -
Cotton Clearing Line
COTTON TESTING
In order to control the quality of the semi- and final
products in a cotton spinning mill manufacturing
100% cotton or blended yarns (cotton/man-made
fi bre blends), several testing devices are necessary
in the textile physical laboratory to test the
most important parameters. -
Fimatest
Fibre-Matrix Adhesion Tester FIMATEST
The performance of composite materials strongly
depends on the adhesion of the fibres to the matrix.
On the microscopic level different test procedures
have been established in various research institutes,
however, most results are not comparable,
since none of these tests are standardized or
commercially available. -
Covatest
Capacitive Evenness Tester for Slivers, Rovings,
and Spun Yarns with optional Hairiness ModuleTextechno’s COVATEST is a perfect testing instrument
to measure all above-mentioned parameters.
Based on the well-proved capacitive measuring
principle the mass irregularity along the sample is
analyzed, including a mass spectrogram. The
COVATEST can be equipped with an optional
Hairiness Module, which utilizes a modern optical
sensor with LASER illumination. -
Drapetest
Automatic Drapability Tester
The behavior of standard- and non-crimp fabrics
in forming and draping is of importance in any
production process of non-flat, fabric-reinforced
composite parts. As automation of such production
processes progresses, drapability and the detection
of defects during draping like gaps, loops, or
wrinkles become even more important.
DRAPETEST, a new automatic drapability tester,
allows to automatically characterize drapability and
the formation of defects during draping and forming.
The tester combines the measurement of the
force, which is required for forming, with an optical
analysis of small-scale defects such as gaps and
loops by means of image analysis. An optional
triangulation sensor can determine large-scale
defects such as wrinkles.
As a standardized simulation of the draping
process a flat circular sample of the fabric to be
tested is deformed at its center by means of a
motor-driven piston. A camera with an appropriate
illumination inspects the sample at several elevation
steps while the sample is rotated in order to
inspect a maximum percentage of its surface. In
the same manner the sample is scanned by the
optional triangulation sensor. -
Statimat Me+
Automatic Tensile Tester
This fully automatic tensile tester represents
the latest evolutionary stage of the legendary
STATIMAT line, which has been manufactured by
Textechno for approximately 50 years. The
STATIMAT ME+ combines a budget price with
maximum flexibility, low energy consumption, and
the outstanding performance of a STATIMAT ME.
As its predecessors it features the straight input
feed into the test section by the draw-off clamp for
each new yarn length. In addition to the advantages
of low technical expenditure, high delivery
speed, and extremely reliable operation the
STATIMAT ME+ enables the use of a package
changer for feeding up to 50 yarn packages. The
modular composition of the ME+ allows optimised
configurations for every technical demand and
budget. -
Statimat DS
Automatic Tensile-,
Evenness-, and
Count Testern the production of staple fi bre- or fi lament yarns
as well as in twisting or texturizing operations
quality control serves to secure material properties
which ensure trouble-free downstream processing
as well as fl awless fi nal products. On the other
hand, by routine testing of yarns it is possible to
recognize faults in the production process early
enough to analyze the causes of such defects and
to take corrective actions.
The most important properties of yarns are tensile
strength and elongation, mass unevenness, and
yarn count (linear density). Static tensile tests, yarn
evenness tests, as well as various methods of yarn
count testing, e.g. by means of wrap reel and
balance, serve for the assessment of these yarn
properties. The operation of different test equip-
ment to which the yarn samples are presented one
after another, results in high expenditure of labour
and, especially in case of modern automatic
computer-controlled testing equipment, in
considerable fi nancial investment. -
Statimat 4U
Automatic Linear Density-,
Twist-, and Tensile Tester
for High-Tenacity YarnsAutomatic tensile tests on yarns with high linear
density and breaking strength demand special requirements
regarding clamps, measuring system,
sample waste disposal, and mechanical stability
of the testing equipment. This particularly applies
to technical yarns comprising high-tenacity
polymers such as Aramid or UHMWPE. Here
force-measurement limits of 1000 N and mechanical
stress limitations for such test equipment are
insufficient in most cases. In addition, the clamps
of the automatic tensile testing equipment are often
inadequate for withstanding breaking forces of this
magnitude. -
Favimat + Favigraph
FAVIMAT+ (AI)ROBOT2
FAVIGRAPH
Automatic Single-Fibre TestersTesting and evaluation of a wide range of fibre
properties are essential for research and quality
control purposes in fibre production and for assessing
the processability of fibres in carding and
spinning. For man-made fibres and in some cases
even for natural fibres these tests are carried out
on single fibres. Here, typical testing methods
are the static tensile test, linear-density
(fineness) measurement, and measurement of
crimp extension, crimp stability as well as number of crimps.
