The latest innovation of Mesdan, a manufacturer of yarn splicers and laboratory quality control equipment, is a fully automatic 24 positions yarn strength tester called Autofil.
The integrated automatic cop feeding system, the built-in PC, its versatile applications, compact design and high testing speed are only few features that characterize the new Autofil. It can test hanks and fabrics as well in the semi-automatic mode, is suitable for testing a wide variety of yarns: spun, continuous filaments, POY, spandex, etc. Autofil includes an integrated and interactive pre-loaded database of testing methods and conforms to major testing methods (ISO, ASTM, JIS, BS, IWS, NEXT, M&S, etc.).
Its main features:
- Built according to the CRE (Constant Rate of Extension) testing principle
- Belt free, direct-drive ball bearing screw
- Automatic pretension and automatic load cell and clamp recognition
- Top quality load cells (manufactured by HBM – Germany), accuracy class ± 0.02%
- Integrated sensor into the motor ensuring accurate clamp positioning (less than 0,02 mm)
- Possibility to perform tests at extremely low and high speed
- Automatic reset of force values when load cell/clamps are changed
- High resolution of acquired data
- High return speed (7000 mm/min)
- Quick load cell exchange
- Advanced alarm system to prevent accidents; safety clamp movement
- Modern software, flexible and easy to use
