my country's textile testing instruments are gradually advancing to the high-end market

For the performance testing requirements of textile materials, although these instruments have occupied a considerable share of the domestic market, we still have a big gap compared with foreign textile instruments. Therefore, we should further promote the development of my country's textile instrument manufacturing industry towards in-depth and The breadth of development, on the one hand, we should vigorously carry out the upgrading of conventional textile instruments, on the other hand, we should research and develop higher-grade textile testing instruments, and comprehensively build a famous brand of domestic textile instruments. In recent years, the conventional textile instruments of various production enterprises generally use computer technology for function control and data processing. As an updated product of pendulum strength tester, the popularization and development of electronic strength tester are inseparable from the application of computer technology. Judging from the development trend of international textile instruments and even general testing instruments, standardized and large-scale control technology and data statistics, processing and analysis software packages in the form of library functions are increasingly favored by instrument developers. Standardized and modularized control technology enables one computer to control corresponding testing instruments of the same or different types through multiple standardized modules. Standardized modules can be produced on a large scale, improve product quality, reduce product costs, and obtain maximum profits. For users, using one computer to control multiple devices can greatly reduce the cost of use. The data statistics, processing and analysis software package in the form of library functions is adopted, which greatly strengthens the data processing and analysis functions of the software, and improves the technical content of the instrument without increasing the hardware cost. Development is undoubtedly very beneficial. On the other hand, with my country's accession to the WTO, as the requirements for the quality of textiles become higher and higher, the user's demand for testing instruments will not only be the quantity, but will pay more attention to whether the functions of the instruments meet their increasing needs. Computer technology has not only been widely used in the transformation of conventional textile instruments, but also showed strong vitality in the development of new technologies and new products. For example, the application of computer image processing technology is becoming one of the core technologies of a considerable number of new textile instruments, such as photoelectric evenness meter, electronic blackboard, fiber fineness meter and so on. These instruments have not only appeared in the international market, but also domestic institutions of higher learning, scientific research units and some production enterprises are engaged in research in this area. With the continuous development of computer image processing technology, the detection principle based on photoelectric imaging has become the focus of many new instrument developers because of its imaging characteristics similar to the senses of the eye. The photoelectric evenness tester, which was once a competitor of the capacitive evenness tester, is showing its potential vitality with the help of computer image processing technology. In addition to the commonly used indicators, the integrated series of electronic blackboards and fabric simulations can also be developed with the help of uniform photoelectric signals, which are more direct, practical and functional. Computer image processing can also update the traditional quality indicators of textiles such as fabric pilling, fabric surface and wear, and cloth inspection, which must be inspected by human eyes, to be directly and automatically measured by instruments. Computer image processing technology is showing its great potential and broad application prospects in the development of new textile instruments. In the process of changing from a planned economy to a market economy, domestic textile instruments have achieved considerable development. Today, the domestic textile equipment has come to further develop to the breadth and depth, to a higher level, and then create a domestic textile equipment brand, every person of insight who is committed to the development of domestic textile equipment should strive to promote the research department, Mutual understanding, mutual cooperation and mutual support between production enterprises and metrological verification departments will benefit from the development of domestic textile instruments. On this basis, vigorously develop new textile instruments, create domestic brands, participate in international competition, and meet the growing needs of users with products with more types, better quality and higher performance-price ratio. This year, we can find in the market that in the past, the high-end market was only occupied by instruments of foreign companies, and some of these domestic instruments have begun to gradually enter the high-end market, although there are still problems in terms of technical stability and test accuracy. There are certain errors. With the continuous advancement of domestic technology, I believe that this difference will lead to high-quality enterprises standing up in the process of market expansion, and gradually grow into the ability to rival foreign instrument manufacturers.
