A German company founded in 1995 that develops, produces and sells testing technology in more than 80 countries through a global network of independent representatives. Every device in the range is developed in-house. Its greatest success, the TSA, began in the tissue industry and extended into textiles and nonwovens, where a product's haptic properties are decisive for the consumer.
emtec-electronic.de ↗What it solves
TSA Tactile Sensation Analyzer
Objectively and independently measures softness, roughness and in-plane stiffness — the three basic haptic parameters — plus elongation and recovery.
Hand feel value
Mathematical models convert the measured parameters into a hand feel value adapted to a specific market and product, useful in incoming control and quality assurance.
R&D and troubleshooting
Reading each parameter separately makes it possible to optimise processes and pinpoint the cause of quality deviations, not merely detect them.
Paper and tissue range
PDA for liquid penetration, ACA for non-destructive ash content determination, CAS and FPA for charge and fibre potential analysis.
“The emtec TSA is part of a major technological advance of recent years. This innovation was simply not there before.”
