Yarn Strength Testing System

Yarn Strength Testing System (KFY-1100Y)

As yarn forms the basis for the production of all types of fabrics it is essential that the strength and elongation of the yarn is monitored by a yarn strength testing system to ensure that it is suitable for today’s high speed production techniques and its performance matches the requirements of the finished product. To ensure high levels of accuracy and repeatable result, we offer yarn strength testing systems specifically designed for precision yarn testing. Standard system includes a 500 n (50 kgf) x 0.01g loadcell, 1000mm x 0.001mm crosshead travel, pneumatic yarn grips with footswitch controls and comprehensive test software.

Pneumatic Yarn Grips

Easy to use capstan and clamp pneumatic yarn grips. Guaranteed precision yarn strength testing without jaw breaks. Individual footswitches for ease of loading and ideal for both research and volume yarn strength testing.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
