HVI Fiber Sampling: Motion Control

R.S. Krowicki, J.M. Hemstreet and D.P. Thibodeaux


 
ABSTRACT

A video of the Motion Control HVI sampling mechanism shows that a specimen prepared from a bale sample appears to be excellent. it also shows that a specimen from a small breeder's sample is very ragged. The difference that can be seen is due to the angular position of the clamp arm when the specimen is caught. It is shown that raising the breeder's sample such that the clamp is approximately perpendicular to the sample when the specimen is caught greatly improves this specimen. The other mechanisms involved in determining length and strength are also shown in determining length and strength are also shown in operations.
