PORTABLE AIR CHECKER for PICANOL AJL (TR-7800ACP)

PORTABLE AIR CHECKER for PICANOL AJL (TR-7800ACP)

In response to strong demand by weavers, Takayama Reed has released the TR-7800ACP Portable Air Checker for Picanol AJL after thorough calibration. The TR-7800ACP contributes to the improved quality control of your reeds based on comparison of air flow graphs.

Measurement

Continuous Measurement

One of the advantages of the TR-7800ACP is continuous and digital measurement (1mm pitch) of air flow. Rather than manual measurement and checking of just a few points, a comprehensive air flow status of the reed is provided. Location of unusual air flow along the reeds can be identified on the graph generated by the encoder behind the unit.

On-loom Measurement

The TR-7800ACP enables you to measure air flow on-loom with only a minimum preparation of your Picanol AJL (move the reed to the vertical position, loosen the warp yarns, lift and fix the reed).

Easy data input, graph, and comparison with past data

After installation of software, air flow data can be imported from the TR-7800ACP to your personal computer through a USB cable. The air flow data can be quickly and easily converted to a graph format. Those data can be stored according to your reed serial numbers, so comparison with past data of the same reed is feasible (10 measurements per serial number can be stored in the PC file).

Air flow of new reeds is the best. Air flow that is too high may cause the weft to fly out of the tunnel. Fluctuating air flow may prevent the stable flight of the weft. Air flow that is too low may cause unexpected weft flight anomalies.

Other Feature

Other Features of the TR-7800ACP

– Calibration before every measurement can ensure accuracy of your air flow data.

– Real time checking of air flow on the LCD of the TR-7800ACP during measurement is also feasible. The graph can be displayed on the LCD, too.

– PDF output of the graph is possible. This makes it easy to distribute results amongst necessary co-workers.

– Encoder position is adjustable depending on the outer height of your Picanol AJL reeds.

– mbar is the employed unit of air flow.

– Standard AA type batteries are applied. Low battery charge is indicated on the LCD screen. Data is not deleted by battery replacement.

TR recommends a combination of the TR-7800ACP and the TR Reed Cleaner (TR-7600RC: On-loom Reed Cleaner or TR510: Ultrasonic Reed Cleaning Machine) for quality control of your reeds:
