OmniStretch enables stretch-based opacity assessment of knitted fabrics, across different stretch levels. Two assessment plates are included, numbered and 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 Colour Assessment Cabinet and 45-degree Fixed or Tilting Table or in a DigiEye system. Digital assessment can be performed with DigiProduction software.
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, for example logo addition 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 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 Colour Assessment Cabinets or DigiEye 700 or 1300 systems.
OmniStretch enables stretch-based opacity assessment of knitted fabrics, across different stretch levels. Two assessment plates are included, numbered and black & white for use in visual and digital assessment.
It works by pulling the fabric in all directions, to simulate how clothes move when worn under 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.
OmniStrech helps anwsers questions like- Is my product squatproof? How do i test the stretch and opacity of a knit fabric?
The black & white assessment plate is suitable for unprinted and unpatterned fabrics only. For patterned and printed fabrics, use Numbered assessment plate for Visual Assessment. Assessment is best performed against a set standard, dependant on the intended application of the sample fabric. Each assessment method will provide an indication of how tested fabrics behave, dependent on testing criteria being used.
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 elastic fabrics.
