FX 3250/55  Automatic PICK COUNTER

 

The Automatic PICK COUNTER is used for fast, convenient and accurate determination of the thread density of woven fabrics and wire meshes as well as the loop density of knitted fabrics.

Two models of the PICK COUNTER are available:

FX 3250 with a measuring range of 8 through 300 threads/cm (20 through 762 threads/in).

FX 3255 with a measuring range of 8 through 74 threads/cm (20 through 188 threads/in).

The instrument is equally suitable for measurements in the laboratory and mobile applications in the production environment.
Since the instrument also works at moving test specimen, measurements can be taken directly at the running production machine or loom. Its handy size and its ability to determine even extremely high thread densities, make the instrument at state- of- the-art alternative to the traditional pick glass and interference template.

 

FX 3250- MT Stand

Function  

For testing, the face of the instrument is placed onto the test specimen. After manually entering the search range in which the test result is expected to fall, the start button is pressed. By means of a high quality lens system a narrow line of the test specimen is projected onto a linear CCD array. The signal from the CCD array is processed by a micro processor, and after less than a second the average thread density of the test specimen is digitally displayed.
A special illumination system eliminates the interfering effects of colors and patterns.

Because of its small size and light weight design the instrument is perfectly suited for mobile use. 

For stationary operation in the laboratory the instrument may be mounted to the optional FX 3250- MT Stand.
The model FX 3250 is equipped with a RS 232 data port. 

 

The instrument can be calibrated and is supplied with an ISO conform calibration certificate. Also supplied is a calibration card for instantaneous verification of the proper function and calibration as well as for recalibration of the instrument.
Evaluation of the test results:

The simplest method for evaluation of the test results is  to read the test results from the  digital display, to write them down and to evaluate them manually.

In order to eliminate all reading, writing and calculating tasks and related errors, the model FX 3250 (only) can be connected to a PC with printer and evaluation software or to the L 5130 Strip Printer, which documents the test results, including statistical analysis, on a narrow strip of paper. 

For the FX 3250/FX 3255 Automatic PICK COUNTER the following accessories are available:

FX 3250- KAB Data cable for transmission of the test results from the FX 3250 PICK COUNTER into the L 5130 Strip Printer.

FX 3250- ARH Alignment aid
For measurement of extremely fine test specimens with a yarn density over approximately 100 threads/cm (250/in).

FX 3250- GB Power adapter
for a line voltage of 90 through 264 V, 50 through 60 Hz, with UK connector.
