Fabric Touch Tester
The Fabric Touch Tester is designed for the objective evaluation of tactile properties of sheet-like materials such as fabrics, textiles, nonwovens, sanitary paper, and leather. By simulating human touch through a rotor-vibration mechanism, the instrument measures softness, smoothness, stiffness, and hand-feel (HF), providing quantitative data that correlates with human perception. With additional accessories, the tester can also evaluate elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, bursting, compressibility, thickness, and basis weight, making it suitable for R&D, quality control, and production optimization.
Application
The Fabric Touch Tester is widely used for:
Textile and Nonwoven Industry: Process optimization, production control, and quality assurance.
Paper and Leather Industry: Evaluating tactile performance of products such as sanitary paper and leather sheets.
Research and Development: Universities, laboratories, and material science institutes for benchmarking and product innovation.
Product Benchmarking & Marketing: Comparing materials for hand-feel, comfort, and material performance.
Incoming Quality Control: Ensuring consistency of raw materials and finished goods.
Complaint Management & Troubleshooting: Identifying tactile property issues in production batches.
Standards
The instrument can be applied according to various national and international standards for tactile, mechanical, and surface property testing:
ISO 9073 series – Nonwovens testing
ISO 12945-2 – Fabric surface smoothness evaluation
ASTM D5266 – Surface characteristics of textiles
FZ/T 01030 / FZ/T 60006 – Chinese textile testing standards for softness and mechanical properties
Features
(1) Rotor-vibration system simulates human touch to induce controlled sample vibrations.
(2) High-resolution sensors capture vibrations and transmit to the analysis module.
(3) Advanced software calculates softness, smoothness, stiffness, hand-feel, elasticity, plasticity, hysteresis, thermal haptics, and thermal insulation.
(4) Supports up to 68 simultaneous parameters for customized testing.
(5) Non-destructive measurement preserves sample integrity.
(6) User-friendly touchscreen interface with PC connectivity for data export.
(7) Compact laboratory-friendly design with adjustable measuring pressures (100 mN and 600 mN).
(8) Optional accessories allow testing of elasticity, compressibility, bursting, thickness, and basis weight.
(9) Generates high-resolution surface images for visual and quantitative analysis.
