STATIMAT ME
Automatic Tensile Tester
STATIMAT ME with package changer, nip
roller yarn feed mechanism and AUTOCOUNT
|
This equipment
represents the latest evolutionary stage of automatic
tensile testing equipment that has been manufactured by
Textechno over approximately 40 years. A striking characteristic
of the STATIMAT ME is the
straight input feed into the test section by the draw-off clamp
for each new yarn length. In addition to the advantages of low
technical expenditure, high delivery speed and insignificant
susceptibility to disruptions, the process enables the use of a
package changer for feeding up to 50 yarn packages.
|
A nip
roller yarn feed mechanism, which
TEXTECHNO introduced in 1987 to automatic yarn
tensile testing, enables high speed take-off of selected yarn
lengths prior to starting the tensile test on a new package or
between individual tensile tests. This means that tensile tests
can be carried out on yarn lengths both from the package outer-
and inner layers.
|
AUTOCOUNT
|
Another
remarkable TEXTECHNO
innovation is the yarn collection and weighing system
AUTOCOUNT, which together
with the yarn feed mechanism enables fully automatic yarn
count measurements.
|
Clamps for stripes of fabrics
|
In
addition to standard tensile tests carried out on yarns, twisted
yarns and mono-filaments, the STATIMAT
ME can also be used within the permissible force
range of 1000 N to carry out tensile- and elasticity tests on
fabrics and cohesion tests on slivers and rovings. For this,
various special clamps for manual introduction of the
test sample are available as replacements for the automatic yarn
clamps.
|
To assure highest possible measuring accuracy, all measuring
systems of the STATIMAT ME -
force, extension, rate of extension, yarn length (feed
mechanism) and weight (AUTOCOUNT)
- can be calibrated in fully- or semi-automatic mode.
|
The TESTCONTROL PC
system collects and statistically evaluates a multiplicity of
relevant measured variables from both the tensile- and yarn
count tests. It also controls the test process according to
pre-selected parameters. The system can easily be integrated
into any network.

Testing methods
|
|
- Automatic static tensile test on
yarns
with constant deformation rate according to
DIN 51221, DIN 53834; ASTM D 76 and D 2256;
ISO 2062
- Static tensile testing, cyclic load testing, creep- and
relaxation trials on yarns, monofilaments*, fabrics* or
slivers and rovings*
- Yarn count measurements*
*requires additional modules or special
accessories
