- Vorteile:
- Vorteil: measured parameters help to optimize the converting process and the product quality, for example by adapting the converting process to the quality of the incoming paper or board
- Vorteil: modular system (e.g., Module HVL for tests with high viscous liquids or the Module Standard Coating for tests with coating color)
- Vorteil: reliable and accurate test results, which help to solve issues in the converting process and with the product quality, where standard test devices are no help
- Vorteil: no cleaning after measurement
- Vorteil: only little amounts of test liquid are necessary: 3.5ml
- Vorteil: easy handling
- Vorteil: part of the modular system emtec PDA.C02
- Produktbeschreibung:
To make sure that the necessary product quality can be reached, specifications are agreed between paper maker and converter. These specifications are bases on standard test devices, such as Cobb or Gurley. But often it happens that although the quality of the base paper or board is within the agreed specifications, issues with the gluability, printability or coating-ability occur during the converting.
Since gluability, printability and coating-ability mainly depend on surface sizing and surface porosity, information about these two parameters are very important. But the standard test devices are not able to measure them. In comparison to this, the emtec PDA is able to measure these two very important surface parameters within the time that is relevant for the converting process and by this helps to ensure a well-running converting process and the right product quality.

The PDA.C 02 - Module MSC Standard Coating helps to detect changes in base papers, coating colors, and coated papers, which are not detected by standard test devices, but which can lead issues with the coating-ability during the converting process.
The contact between coating color and base coating paper happens under high shear and pressure pulse, leading to a good simulation of the coating machine applicator.
Pilot coater and machine trials indicate the effects of coating color and base paper variations. The PDA.C 02 provides a tool to explore the causes.

- Untersuchung von:
- Eigenschaft: Base and finished products of nonwovens and textiles, even material of unusual shape
- Vorteile:
- Vorteil: objective determination of the softness, roughness and stiffness (independent availability of the results)
- Vorteil: measurement of elasticity (elongation) as well as of hysteresis and plasticity (recovery behavior) are integrated in standard measurement
- Vorteil: measurement of the compressibility and crumplability with special modules possible
- Vorteil: calculation of a so-called HF (hand feel) value by different algorithms possible (HF value = touch, comfort)
- Vorteil: special finished goods, such as diapers, femcare products or seat belts can be measured by the help of special adapters
- Vorteil: excellent correlation with the human tactile sensation
- Vorteil: accurate and reliable
- Vorteil: easy handling and transportation
- Produktbeschreibung:
The new TSA measures - like its previous model - the softness, smoothness and flexibility of base and finished products objectively and reliably. Moreover, specific hand feel values (HF) can be calculated from these parameters using mathematical models.
A fundamentally improved capability of determining the sample's springback behavior has been added to the new device. Furthermore, the new TSA offers the possibility to measure two additional parameters: thermal haptics (surface thermal conductivity) and thermal insulation. A camera can take a high-resolution image of the clamped sample in order to give the user a visual impression of the material and to carry out further analyses.
All of this data is automatically digitized and can be processed and stored according to customer-specific requirements through a cloud-based haptic database, the Virtual Haptic Library (developed in cooperation with Black Swan Textiles, USA), making it available to authorized persons worldwide in real-time (quality assurance and control). Additionally, this Virtual Haptic Library enables a search for suitable fabrics worldwide, cataloged according to haptic properties.
