Mesdan S.p.A. of Italy, in the field since 1952, is a renowned manufacturer of yarn knotters & splicers. The division dedicated to the development and production of laboratory quality control equipment is known as Mesdan-Lab. Last year it celebrated its 20th anniversary.
At India-ITME 2012 Mesdan showcased a variety of well-known and new yarn splicers as well as some new Q.C. laboratory instruments, among which was the new Mesdan evenness tester MT for the evenness and hairiness control of slivers, rovings and spun yarns. The system analyses periodic mass variations generated in the manufacturing process.
The main characteristics of the tester are its exclusive capacitive sensor with wide testing range (from 80 g/m of sliver up to Ne 200 yarn), modular system enabling to integrate the H-Sensor (for hairiness measurement) and fully automatic testing (with the addition of the Automatic Cop Changer), fully automatic system calibration, ISO 9001 Calibration Report, Windows MT-5 software system for statistical data elaboration (mass variations assessment, U%, CV%, DR%, spectrogram, imperfection indicator of thin and thick places, neps, hairiness, etc.), graph elaboration and data storage. The obtained results are compatible and comparable with the international standards.
