Suitable for testing woven home textiles, woven suit fabrics, knitted underwear fabrics, and woven woolen fabrics.

Instrument Features

• The testing system adopts a biomimetic design, simulating the mechanical tactile sensation of human fingertips on fabrics. It uses multiple mechanical indicators to characterize the fabric. The indenter consists of a set of cylindrical structures resembling human fingertips with fine textures to simulate fingerprints. The indenter group is arranged in an offset configuration (three-point beam) to mimic the way human fingers touch fabrics.
• The motion of the indenter group induces compressive, bending, frictional, and tensile deformations in the fabric. Force-displacement curves are collected for various deformations, and quantitative indicators such as surface compression thickness, bending resistance, friction coefficient, and tensile slope under constant load are extracted. These indicators evaluate fabric softness, stiffness, smoothness, and tightness. Based on the fabric's application, materials are rated for overall tactile feel, objectively assessing the fabric's comprehensive hand feel style. The quantified indicators provide strong support for product design, production control, and final use.
• The CHES-FY Textile Material Hand Feel Style Evaluator was jointly developed by our company and Donghua University.
• Independent intellectual property rights, with national invention patents and utility model patents (Patent No.: ZL .2).
• Simple operation with single-machine, single-measurement, and multi-indicator capabilities.
• Combines mechanical models with physical testing.
• Uses advanced components for high control precision, stable performance, and high cost-effectiveness.
