OVERVIEW

The AutoStretch 5C is a testing instrument specifically designed to determine the peak breaking force and elongation of yarn in skein form (Lea), with a girth of 1.5 yards. It also optionally measures the RKM (Relative Kilonewtons per meter) of yarn by the single-strand method.

SPECIFICATION

• Capacity:
  • Load/Force: 500 pounds / 1000 pounds
  • Selectable force unit: kgf / lbf / Nf
• Positive Gearing Mechanism: Equipped with a positive gearing mechanism that automatically returns the lower jaw to the home position after testing.
• Computer Connectivity: Features computer connectivity and special software that enables the generation of statistical and graphical reports.
• Optional Single Yarn Test Module (RKM):
  • Load/Force: Up to 50 kgf
  • Selectable unit: gf / Nf / lbf
  • Elongation unit: mm / inch / percentage
  • Traverse speed: 500 mm/min

FEATURES

• Accurate Determination: Provides accurate measurements of the strength and elongation of Lea skeins.
• Sturdy Construction: Constructed with sturdy steel fabrication and a maintenance-free, self-lubricated drive unit, ensuring silent, trouble-free, and long-life operation.
• Rugged Floor Model: Designed as a rugged floor model with a double-column mechanism for lower jaw movement, ensuring accurate results.
• Constant Rate of Extension (CRE) Principle: Operates on the principle of constant rate of extension, ensuring consistent and reliable testing conditions.
