After loading the magazines, the system can measure
- fineness
- conventional stress-strain properties
(strength, tenacity, elongation, moduli etc.)
- mechanical crimp
(percent crimp, crimp removal force and crimp
stability)
- optical crimp
(crimps per unit length, crimp amplitude)
fully automatic without assistance of an operator.
The ROBOT is an automatic sample changer with magazines
holding up to 450 fibres, from which the individual fibres
are fed via a transfer clamp to the test section of the
FAVIMAT. The fully automatic operation of the FAVIMAT-ROBOT
results in a dramatic reduction of labour costs and
improvement in measuring accuracy. |
