The PillGrade system is a 3D fabric scanning system that uses patent pending technology to objectively and repeatedly grade fabric swatches for surface properties. The system outputs pilling and fuzziness data, in addition to the 1.0-5.0 pilling grade according to both ASTM and ISO standards. PillGrade's unique approach to vision inspection enables the system to scan and grade fabrics of any weight, color and pattern. Advantages:
Ensures objective, repeatable grades
Ensures agreement throughout textile supply chain
Easy and fast (~5 seconds) to operate
Correlates to ASTM & ISO grade scale
Compiles production/supplier pill data
Measures and grades fuzziness
PillGrade also grades snags
Fabric Ty;es & Sizes:
Any woven, nonwoven, knit, fleece, automotive, any blend or material.
Fabric patterns and colors are ""invisible"" to PillGrade. Specimen size rang is 4"" x 4"" (10cm x 10cm) to 6"" x 6"" (150mm x 150mm)
