The  LabTex range of dedicated laboratory instruments islabtex_retention s designed for high volume dynamic QC testing.

All LabTex instruments provide state of the art analysis of the running yarn, with detailed quality data produced in a database format that can be exported in to a plant QC system.

A wide range of parameters can be tested on LabTex instruments with up to 3 parameters being tested simultaneously.  This provides extensive data on key quality parameters that is not available on any other testing equipment.

 The LabTex instruments are made up of a range of advanced technology components including:

  • Optical Sensors - these are used to measure Interlace, Broken Filaments and ATY quality.  Measurement accuracy assured by patented signal processing technology as well as ISO calibrated sensors.
  • Tension Sensors - are used for Package Unwinding analysis as well as Modulus and Draw Force.  These ultra high frequency response sensors are sampled at 1000 times per second allowing the shortest term variation to be identified.
  • Yarn Transport - yarn feeds transport the yarn accurately at speeds between 200 and 2,000 m/min and allow very accurate dynamic control of yarn stretching, allowing a wide range of sophisticated test techniques. 
  • Processing Hardware - a dedicated processing and communication card handles the signal processing, allowing a standard windows 2000 or XP Professional PC to be used.
  • Processing SoftwareLabTex instruments incorporate state of the art data analysis routines to provide extremely accurate measurements as well as a wide range of statistical data that can be exported to plant QC management systems
