Uster Technolog ies Ltd launches a new
CLASSIMAT classification system. The
USTER CLASSIMAT5 takes quality assur-
ance to a new level, enabling a deeper
understanding of defects and their causes
and finding ways to prevent them.
Innovative features and capabilities can
pinpoint outliers, providing consistent
quality levels for both producers and users
of ya rns.
Pa ramet ers measured by t he USTER
CLASSIMAT ha ve played a vita l role in
spinning mills and yarn trading worldwide
since the instrument w as f irst d eveloped
more than 40 years ago.
The classification o f ya rn defect s
according to their size and length into 23
standa rd classes is used ext ensively to cer-
tify yarn quality, to help control spinning
processes and to optimize yarn clearing at
the winding stage. In the meantime, qual-
ity demands have increased enormously.
While fault classification based on the
w ell-proven ana lysis of thick and th in
places remains fundamental, it must now
also cover critical parameters such as for-
eign matter, count variation, periodic
faults, unevenness and hairiness.
An important quality management
aspect that has grown rapidly in signifi-
cance is the need for consistent quality as
much as a bsolute q uality. This dema nds
critical new to ols for large-scale prod uc-
tion, to assess extreme deviations from the
quality norm referred to as outliers.
Classifying all outliersAddressing these requirements,
USTER CLASSIMAT5 delivers all the tra-
ditional classificat ion stand ards, w hile
broadening its scope to include outliers,
which are often the root cause of claims
and inconsistent yarn quality.
USTER CLASSIMAT 5 for th e first
time detects and quantifies outliers for
periodic faults, evenness, imperfections
and hairiness, in addition to critical thick
and th in places. The USTER CLASSIMAT5
is the tool of choice for those w ho w ant tounderstand the nature and sources of
these defects and to develop preventive
strategies. Especially important are its
powerful foreign matter tools for assessing
colored foreign fibers, vegetable matter
and for the first time polypropylene
content.
Powerful analysis capabilitiesThe full rang e o f q uality measurements
ha ndled by USTER CLASSIMAT5 is com -
plemented by pow erful ana lytical tools.
USTER CLASSIMAT 5 integrat es a
clearing limit analysis feature, which can
estimate and display the applied clearing
limit for the yarn, as well as providing an
index to optimize the clearing limit in each
area, including foreign matter.
Yarns from different lots or suppliers
can now be compared, to identify the bestand the next best quality levels, with
detailed figures available at a click and
presented a s intuitive color codings.
State-of-the-art technologyThese customer benef its are possible
thanks to the most technically-advanced
sensors and superior hardware for detec-
tion and eventual classification of all types
of defects.
For the first t ime, U STER CLASSIMAT
5 measurements are independent of the
ma chine or test speed variations. Theunique mounting module includes a spe-
cial cleaning facility to prevent dirt and
fluff in the measuring zone. An array of
guides and a tension control also ensure
highest accuracy in foreign matter classifi-
cation.
Dr. Geoffrey Scott, CEO of Uster
Techno logies Ltd, comments: We are
proud to offer the new generation of
CLASSIMAT to the text ile industry. The
USTER CLASSIMAT 5 brings q uality
assurance to a new level, introducing an
unrivaled rang e of new feat ures and capa-bilities. It is not o nly an indispensable pre-
cision tool for both producers and users of
yarns, it is also transforming the indus-
try.
