Uster has developed a unique approach
to this challenge through a
combination of laboratory testing,
process monitoring and know-how.
Called ‘Total Testing’, it helps textile
companies to remove uncertainties
and become profitable.
In an era of higher speeds and increasing
demands on quality, it is
an illusion to try to control the complete
production process by relying
only on manual sampling. Even the
best sample-based test regime covers
only a fraction of the total material
produced. And there is always
a gap between a problem arising
and the results from the laboratory.
Thanks to Uster’s complete range
of laboratory and continuous testing
instruments, it is now possible to
close this gap.
Yarn producers need to optimize
their process in terms of speed and
machine set-up. Combining continuous
testing with laboratory
tests does exactly that. Laboratory
sample testing with the Uster HVI
1000 and Uster TESTER 5 enables
producers to control raw material
and define initial machine settings,
while at the same time benchmarking
and certifying the quality of their
finished yarn.
