FAVIMAT+ is worldwide the first and only single-fibre tester which combines six test methods in one instrument, for the determination of the following fibre properties:

• Linear density, yields denier or dtex of each individual fibre
• Tensile properties, results in single-fibre strength, elongation at break, etc. 
• Mechanical crimp properties, delivers percent crimp, crimp removal force and crimp stability
• Geometrical crimp structure, determines the number and amplitude of the crimp bows
• Fibre-to-metal friction, measured precisely on each individual fibre
• Bending stiffness by axial compression of the fibre.

The operation of the FAVIMAT+ can be fully automated using optional infeed systems like ROBOT2, AIROBOT2, or AUTOFEED. These robotic systems include a sample storage unit with magazines and a transfer clamp. The clamp takes the fibre from the storage and delivers it to the FAVIMAT+ testing section. Compared to conventional single-fibre testing equipment with manually operated stations, the FAVIMAT+ with ROBOT2 or AIROBOT2 reduces labour time by up to 95 percent. In the case of AUTOFEED, the reduction can reach up to 98 percent, depending on the tests involved. Various clamp types and load cells are available for FAVIMAT+.

With FAVIMAT+ a wide range of fibre materials can be tested. This includes:

• Aramid
• UHMWPE
• Glass fibres
• Carbon fibres
• …

Additionally, the FAVIMAT+ can be equipped with short-fibre clamps to manually test fibres down to 3 mm cut length.

The FAVIMAT+ also offers a simpler alternative within its product line, known as the FAVIGRAPH, which provides essential functionality for users who require fundamental testing capabilities without the advanced features of the FAVIMAT+.
