TST 2 enables precise and automated testing of the thermal shrinkage behaviour of technical and industrial yarns such as tire cord, filament and spun yarns, as well as plastic tapes:

• Simultaneous testing of up to two samples for shrinkage % and/or shrinkage force in a single run

• Freely definable temperature programs including ramps and hold times

• Dynamic tests to analyze yarn behaviour during continuous temperature increase

• Fully automated and computer-controlled testing without operator influence

• High-resolution length sensors and load cells for maximum accuracy and reproducibility

• Specially designed oven protects the measurement from external temperature influences

• Graphical display of the entire shrinkage curve with detailed evaluation via user-friendly software

• Optional TST 2 HD version for high-denier yarns and higher forces

Gain deep insight into the thermal behaviour of your yarns — precise, reproducible, and fully automated.

RAPID 600 V provides fast and precise testing of interlace quality in filament yarns, supporting stable performance in downstream weaving and knitting processes:

• Mechanical testing system with vertically moving pin for reliable detection of interlaced nodes

• Determines node count, node distance, and node tenacity according to ASTM D4724

• Node quality control through defined tension — only stable nodes are accepted

• Servo-controlled pretensioning, string-up, and sample removal for automated testing

• Full computer control for reproducible and efficient measurements

• Robust design suitable for laboratory use or near-production environments

• Fast results enable immediate response to interlacing process irregularities

Monitor interlace quality with confidence — ensuring stable processing and consistent yarn performance.

OPUMETER enables fast and flexible control of spin finish content directly on the running yarn — without the investment required for a full online system:

• Handheld device for measuring OPU/FOY content directly in the production process

• Real-time results within seconds by placing the yarn between ceramic measurement pins

• Relative measurement based on the conductivity of the spin finish on the yarn

• Bluetooth data transfer to laptop or industrial tablet

• Powerful OPUMETER software for detailed data analysis

• Flexible use across different machines within a short time

• Immediate detection of short-term deviations caused by air bubbles, pumps, or applicators

Measure spin finish where it matters most — directly in production and without delay.

Unexpected thermal shrinkage can disrupt production, affect quality, and generate costly material waste — TST LITE by Lenzing Instruments addresses these challenges with a compact and precise solution:

• Cost-efficient system designed for laboratories and production environments without full automation

• Precise and reproducible thermal shrinkage measurement under standardized conditions

• Simple manual sample positioning with fully automatic testing

• Continuous recording ensures objective and consistent results

• Fully enclosed oven protects samples from external thermal effects

• Intuitive touch display provides instant access to temperature, test duration, and results

• Compliance with ASTM D 4974 and EN 13844 ensures internationally comparable data

Discover a streamlined solution for reliable shrinkage testing — efficient, precise, and engineered to Lenzing Instruments’ high standards.
