This fully automatic tensile tester represents the latest evolutionary stage of the legendary STATIMAT line, which has been manufactured by Textechno for approximately 50 years. The STATIMAT ME+ combines a budget price with maximum flexibility, low energy consumption, and the outstanding performance of a STATIMAT ME+.

As its predecessors it features the straight input feed into the test section by the draw-off clamp for each new yarn length. In addition to the advantages of low technical expenditure, high delivery speed, and extremely reliable operation the STATIMAT ME+ enables the use of a package changer for feeding up to 50 yarn packages. The modular composition of the ME+ allows optimised configurations for every technical demand and budget.

In addition to standard tensile tests carried out on filament- and spun yarns, twisted yarns, and mono-filaments. The STATIMAT ME+ can also be used within the force range of 1000 N (1500 N on request) to carry out tensile- and elasticity tests on fabrics and cohesion tests on slivers and rovings.

For this, various special clamps for manual introduction of the test sample are available as replacements for the automatic yarn clamps.

STATIMAT ME+ follows international testing standards, e.g. ISO 2062, DIN 51221 and DIN 53834.

TEXCOUNT

The TEXCOUNT system is suitable to determine the linear density of slivers, tops, rovings and all kind of yarns. The system consists of an electronic balance with a resolution of 1 mg, which connects to the STATIMAT ME+ or a TEXCOUNT software package on a separate PC. For the sample preparation a wrap reel is required.

Textechno also offers a range of further STATIMAT devices – each designed to either test different types of materials or meet specific customer requirements: STATIMAT 4U, STATIMAT DS and STATIMAT MEL+.
