At this year’s ITMA, emtec Electronic will showcase its groundbreaking TSA Tactile Sensation Analyzer in combination with the Virtual Haptic Library – a device that revolutionizes the objective measurement of textile hand-feel. Visitors to the booth H3-B303 in Hall 3 will experience how the compact device provides reliable data on surface-softness, surface-smoothness, stretch and recovery as well as friction, thermal properties and air permeability – all within seconds and with high reproducibility.
emtec Electronic GmbH introduces a new era in textile feel simulation at China’s most important textile event. The key benefit: TSA and Virtual Haptic Library improve the communication along the supply chain by providing a clear terminology and objective targets for the different haptic quality parameters. This helps companies to reduce costs, accelerate decision-making, and minimize their environmental footprint by decreasing the number of physical samples needed.
In the cloud-based Virtual Haptic Library the test results can be digitized for further processing. This digital platform links TSA data to realistic, virtual haptic profiles, allowing users the impression of how fabrics feel – without physical samples.
