Specially-developed sensor technology in Uster Tester 6 is future-proved for extended capabilities and the system allows spinners to prevent quality claims, flagging potential problems with its product consistency alert, customised for the specific materials and conditions in each mill.

The combination of accurate laboratory testing data with information from online monitoring of 100 percent of production is a huge breakthrough. Uster Tester 6 incorporates the Uster Quality Expert management tool, creating the brand new Total Testing Center.

Spinners can build their own tailored quality network, to analyse and optimise performance. Each new instrument extends the possibilities as it connects to the network, offering features such as predictions of fabric appearance, pilling resistance and weaving performance.

New sensors and sophisticated image analysis are at the heart of the Uster Jossi Vision Shield 2, which Uster calls the ultimate defense against cotton contamination as it can locate and remove the smallest particle of contaminant with class-leading detection of both coloured and white polypropylene and other synthetics.

Uster also exhibited an innovative system in filament yarn, the Uster Tester 6-C800, which Uster feels is destined for a central role in the laboratory of every manmade fibre producer and will redefine evenness testing.

New sensors are the basis for innovative features providing the most comprehensive quality measurements ever available. Further, Uster's new digital Capacitive Sensor brings increased accuracy and reliability, while a unique new twist scan facility extends the test options to make twister settings easier.

Advanced sensor technology with Uster Tester 6-C800 also enables a breakthrough in the measurement of interminglings, an important parameter for filament yarns. The optical Sensor OM counts interminglings per meter at a testing speed of 800 metres per minute.

The resulting data can be used to prevent variations in fabric appearance. The system also incorporates expert knowledge, accessible at a mouse-click, for rapid fault tracing when quality problems occur on the spinning machine.
