Uster Technologies
The new Uster AFIS 6, the latest innovation from Uster Technologies, revolutionizes the process of fiber quality measurement by testing not only cotton but also 100% man-made fibers and blends, all in a single, advanced instrument.
Designed to optimize fiber processing from bale to roving, AFIS 6 empowers spinners to preserve fiber quality at every stage of manufacturing. This new-generation instrument delivers critical insights into fiber characteristics across all pre-spinning operations, including opening, cleaning, carding, combing, and roving.
AFIS, Advanced Fiber Information System—analyzes essential parameters such as fiber length, fineness, maturity, short fiber content, neps (fiber and seed coat), trash, and dust. These insights help mills detect quality issues before they impact yarn, reducing off-quality production and improving raw material utilization.
Uster AFIS 6 is more than just a testing instrument, it’s a complete quality management solution for today’s complex fiber blends. With advanced measurement, intuitive design, and full-system integration, it gives spinning mills the tools to produce consistent, high-quality yarn while maximizing efficiency and sustainability.
