Emtec will provide live demonstrations of its TSA (tactile sensation analyser) at the 2021 Techtextil North America in North Carolina, from August 23-25, in booth 1933. The TSA provides an objective measurement of haptic characteristics of a fabric. Emtec is a German producer of electronic measuring equipment for textiles, nonwovens, paper and board.
The measurement of softness, roughness, and stiffness and the calculation of the hand feel value are done quickly and reliably with TSA. The device can be used very well in the research and development, quality assurance, and product optimisation. Located directly across from the textile care pavilion, representatives from the German-based company will be available to give demonstrations on the TSA and answer questions about the device. As the industry becomes more technologically competitive, textile manufacturers are on the lookout for ways to save time and resources and still deliver a consistent quality, Emtec said in a press release.Emtec will provide live demonstrations of its TSA (tactile sensation analyser) at the 2021 Techtextil North America in North Carolina, from August 23-25, in booth 1933.

Using a sound spectrum analysis and tiny, rotating paddles, the tactile sensation analyser bypasses this challenge by simulating the corpuscles of the human hand that are responsible for haptic sensation, such as detecting softness, smoothness, and stiffness. At the event, Emtec representatives will demonstrate how the unique design of the TSA device enables it to differentiate between three different parameters and arrive at a numeric value for a sample’s hand-feel based on softness, smoothness, and stiffness. In addition, the exhibit will illustrate current applications for use in production, including R&D, process and product optimisation, quality assurance, troubleshooting, and benchmarking, according to Emtec.
“When you’re a manufacturer coming up with new fabrics or new materials, you often need specialised testing equipment to measure different parameters, and you want results that are as objective as possible. For measuring things like tactile sensation, such as how soft and smooth something feels, it’s a bit trickier without the right equipment. This has traditionally meant using hand-panels, which are time-consuming and often highly subjective,” Emtec global marketing and business manager, Alexander Gruener said in a statement.
