Tensile testing machine STATIMAT ME+

automaticfor yarnfor the textile industry

Automatic Tensile Tester for Yarns STATIMAT ME+ STATIMAT ME+ is the standard automatic tensile-testing instrument for yarns operating at constant rate of extension (CRE), with a force measuring range of up to 1000 N. It meets the requirements of all important national and international standards. An automatic package changer enables to test fully automatically up to 50 packages in succession. The application range can be extended by using sample holders for tensile tests on fabrics including Grab tests, seam strength tests, separation force tests, or tongue and tear tests, tensile tests on yarn skeins or cohesion tests on sliver and rovings. TEXCOUNT The TEXCOUNT system is suitable to determine the linear density of slivers, tops, rovings and all kind of yarns. The system consists of an electronic balance with a resolution of 1 mg, which connects to the STATIMAT ME+ or a TEXCOUNT software package on a separate PC. For the sample preparation a wrap reel is required. System components Test section: - 2 pneumatic yarn clamps, automatic linear threading, min. gauge length 50 mm, max. travel of draw-off clamp 860 mm for a 100 mm gauge length, draw-off clamp speed 1 - 5000 mm/min. Package changer: - Standard version with 10 positions, expandable to 50 positions. Measuring systems: - Force-measuring device with easily exchangeable force transducers, max. 1000 N; (1500 N on request). - Elongation-measuring device with resolver, resolution 2 μm.
