CIS 300 - Fiber Crimp Inspection

No ACF gallery field data found

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The crimp count is a critical quality parameter for staple fibre, which directly affects its processing behaviour. Traditionally, crimp is counted manually, fibre by fibre—a method that is both time-consuming and insufficiently representative, given that crimp variation across a tow can exceed 300%. With the online system CIS 300, a more reliable and comprehensive analysis becomes possible, providing fast feedback on crimp distribution across the entire tow. This enables early detection of crimp-related issues, and helps to avoid costly downgrades by identifying affected bales rather than entire batches. The system measures average crimp numbers and distinguishes between micro and long crimp variations, ensuring precise and representative quality control. CIS 300 records 100% of the production data, which can be accessed easily via its professional database.

INSPECTION METHOD

High resolution cameras in combination with LED light scan the moving tow continuously.

BENEFITS

  • Complete crimp classification
    With CIS 300, the fiber tow is analysed for the average crimp count per length unit by means of visual inspection. The crimp is classified into long crimp, micro crimp and edge crimp and feedback is given about the distribution thereof along and across the tow.
  • 100% crimp control
    CIS 300 is installed directly in the production area and offers continuous, online measurement of crimp count. The visual inspection technology features a high-degree correlation with results of laboratory measurements. CIS 300 enables 100% production control instead of random sampling, which is the case with laboratory testing.
  • Suitable for all tow sizes
    A choice of either fix mounted or moving cameras enables adaption to various fiber tow widths.
  • Claim prevention and source tracing
    Traceability of faulty product batches.
    Product quality changes are immediately recognised.
    Less waste and down-graded fibers.
