CURL500

The CURL500 is a fiber curl measurement system designed to produce accurate measurements quickly and with confidence. The CURL500 provides a high-resolution measurement that is consistent in its results, independent of the operator and is a first-choice tool for the QA manager keen to stay on top in the battle to maintain a quality and cost-effective production facility.

The CURL500 uses a dual beam method that makes it far more repeatable and accurate that the alternative microscope image-based measurements that need a mechanical reference for the measurement point. The major benefit of this dual beam method is that the beams are fixed in relation to each other; one acts as the reference for the other and as such the system becomes insensitive to any mechanical influences relating to the rotational and fiber holding mechanism, making it far more repeatable and accurate that the alternative microscope image-based measurements that need a mechanical reference for the measurement point.
