OmniStretch enables stretch-based opacity assessment of knitted fabrics, across different stretch levels. The OmniStretch for squat proof assessment includes two assessment plates, one numbered and one black & white, for use in visual and digital assessment.
Grade the translucency of fabrics and assess ‘grinning’ associated with undyed elastane to guarantee your product is ‘squat proof’.
Assessment can be performed both visually and digitally, either using a Light Booth and a Tilting Table or digitally in a DigiEye system. Digital assessment can be performed with the OmniStretch (OS) application in DigiProduction software, providing a measured value of opacity or translucency.
Stretched based visual and Digital opacity assessment of knitted fabrics, across different stretch levels
Knitted performance fabrics are widely used in the manufacturing of garments that are designed to sit close to or stretch over the body such as gym wear and swimwear. VeriVide’s OmniStretch is the ideal solution for assessing these fabrics and is already in use by Marks & Spencer and fashion retailer Next to test their product ranges.
While developed for fabric opacity, OmniStretch can also be used for other fabric stretching problems, examples include undyed elastane grinning and printed logo testing on sportswear.
You can confidently source fabrics for sports and leisure wear from your suppliers and know exactly the grade and guarantee of ‘Squat Proof’. This helps product developers to ensure that any promotional claims are backed up with a scientific measurement. Grade the translucency of fabrics and also visually assess ‘grinning’ associated with undyed elastane-based constructions or poorly penetrated printed fabrics.
OmniStretch enables stretch-based opacity assessment of knitted fabrics, across different stretch levels. Two assessment plates are included, one is numbered and one is half black & half white.
It works by pulling the fabric in all directions, to simulate how clothes move when worn under both gentle and extreme applications.
While developed for fabric opacity, OmniStretch can also be used for other fabric stretching problems, for example logo addition testing on sportswear or colour comparison analysis. Pale coloured fabrics and prints may appear more translucent.
OmniStretch helps answer questions like- Is my product squatproof? How do I test the stretch and opacity of a knit fabric?
The numbered assessment plate works well for visual assessment of any fabric. Determine the grade of the fabric by observing the lowest number seen, multiple readings may be needed dependant on pattern complexity. The lower the number seen the greater the translucency of the fabric and colour. The black & white assessment plate is most suitable for assessment of plain fabrics as a larger area of contrast can be observed.
Visual assessment is best performed against a set standard, on the calibrated monitor of the DigiView station or VisionView Light Booth or in a Light Booth.
OmniStretch comes fully assembled and includes an additional stretcher ring and assessment plate. Minimal assembly is required, with assessment plate swaps needed if changing tests or if worn out. OmniStretch can be used with VeriVide Light Booths, DigiEye or DigiEye 1300 systems.
The OmniStretch works with fabric swatches of 180mm or larger and can also be used with complete garments. It works visually in a light booth (cabinet) or digitally in a DigiEye system with any stretchy fabrics.
