- 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, 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.
