Textile Tester

USTER TESTER 6-C800 - Uster Technologies Ltd.

The USTER TESTER 6-C800 is ready for the most demanding technical textiles applications. The amazing diversity of technical textiles applications is matched by the wide variety of quality characteristics needed in the raw material used so filament yarn producers know they must work to the most stringent specifications and standards. Quality failings, especially in the critical parameter of yarn evenness, can be expensive, but the USTER TESTER 6-C800 provides fast, accurate testing to the tightest tolerances, protecting filament producers against customer complaints and claims. Raw materials for technical textiles cover a wide range of end-uses and performance requirements. Viscose fibers, for instance, are found in lightweight blouses as well as in wire cording and high-speed car tires. Polyester, common in low-price clothing, is also transformed in special high-tech versions, for sophisticated sportswear and outdoor clothing. Countless other examples of technical applications for filament yarns span sectors such as medical, industrial, transport, engineering and protective clothing. Despite this variety of products, there is one fundamental requirement which is common to all: the absolute need for yarn evenness, measured to close tolerances, to ensure that the functional and aesthetic properties of the finished article achieve the high quality standards that customers demand.
