KES - FB2 - A Bending Tester

Content

The Pure Bending Tester analyzes hand movements-referred to as “bending”-performed by artisans and professionals when judging a fabric’s texture. This device performs these movements mechanically, making it possible to obtain objective numerical data.

Obtainable data includes bending rigidity and recoverability for such targets as general fabric, cloth, paper, non-woven fabric, and film.

Bending characteristic data is useful for determining stiffness and fullness, softness, anti-drape stiffness.

Features

Improved data accuracy

Motor chucking makes it easier to mount thin samples that would otherwise be difficult to mount. This eliminates errors caused by the user and improves the accuracy of data.

Display resolution (of software): 0.0001

The ability to measure from extremely small values up to a maximum of 50 gf·cm means measurement can be performed for a wide variety of samples.
