TENSORAPID 5-C

Product catalog summary
Overview
The USTER® TENSORAPID 5-C is a tensile testing and analyzing instrument designed for yarn quality assurance across a wide variety of yarns and fabrics. It measures tensile strength, elongation, and other critical parameters to ensure quality control in textile production.

Components and Installation
The system includes a test unit with sensors for force, elongation, temperature, and humidity, a clamping device, finger tensioner, control units, and a touchscreen table. Optional components include an unwinding device, special clamps, and a vibration suppressor.

Functionality
The USTER® TENSORAPID 5-C measures tensile strength and elongation, evaluates and stores measurement values, and provides automatic checks and customizable reports. It features a smart view for exceptions and outliers and filter functions for data selection.

Technical Specifications
The system supports a range of force measurements from 0.01 to 1,500 N, suitable for various yarn types. It uses a constant rate of extension (CRE) testing method and offers electronic force and elongation measurement with high accuracy. The clamp speed and pre-tension are adjustable, and the system supports automatic yarn changing.

Software and Reporting
The application software provides standard and customized reports, live view reports, and automatic printouts. It allows setting customized limits and verifies measured values against these limits. The software supports multiple languages and units.

Options and Accessories
Optional accessories include reduction clamps, 180° clamps with booster, and supports for thread brakes and yarn guides. These options enhance the system's capability to handle various yarn types and testing conditions.

General Conditions and Requirements
The system requires specific ambient conditions, including humidity and temperature, to ensure accurate testing. It operates on single-phase mains with specific voltage and frequency requirements and requires a compressed air connection.

Space and Weight
The installation requires a specific space and has a total weight of approximately 343 kg, including the tester and table.

Contact Information
For further information, Uster Technologies AG can be contacted at their headquarters in Switzerland or through their offices in Japan, China, India, Turkey, Brazil, and the USA.
