Problems and solutions in my country's textile instrument market in 2015

There are too few powerful textile instrument manufacturers. Textile instrument manufacturing is only a small part of the large textile industry, with an annual sales volume of only four or five billion. Because the production characteristics of textile instruments are small batches, many varieties, low added value, and high technical difficulty; therefore, there are not many enterprises invested, resulting in a lack of funds for the entire industry and slow technological development. The entire industry lacks unified management. After the former Textile Department was abolished, the metrological verification procedures and calibration specifications that regulate the quality of instruments have been in a state of 'management blank'. Not only is the new instrument lacking verification procedures and calibration specifications, but the original standards and procedures have also fallen behind and urgently need to be formulated, revised or invalidated. At present, the formulation or revision of textile instrument standards, procedures and calibration specifications are mostly spontaneous, and there is no financial support from the superior management department. Under this extremely difficult situation, the 'Electronic Fabric Strength Machine Verification Regulations' reported by the National Textile Metrology Station in 2003, after two years of fundraising by several enterprises, completed the formulation of the regulations. The newly formulated 'Verification Regulations for Electronic Textile Strength Tester' has made a historic breakthrough in the dynamic performance verification of the power tester. The paper 'Analysis of the Dynamic Characteristics of Textile Electronic Power Tester and Verification Method Research' with the core content as the theme was awarded the No. The second prize of the 8th Chen Weiji Excellent Paper; but the procedure has not yet been officially approved and issued, which greatly hurt the enthusiasm of the majority of metrology workers. Disorderly market competition. Although my country’s textile industry is developing rapidly, the total demand for textile equipment has not increased very much; while domestic textile equipment manufacturers have increased a lot, many of which are separated from the original larger textile equipment factories. In the new factory, most of the products are the same as those of the original factory. There is not enough manpower and material resources to invest in the development and research of innovative instruments. There is only a price war. The result is: disorderly market competition has led to the continuous decline of product prices, which in turn causes product costs to drop again and again, and it is difficult to guarantee quality and after-sales service. This not only does not help the healthy development of domestic instruments, but also directly harms the interests of users. At present, some companies are struggling, and some companies are looking for other products to make a living, and there is a strong tendency to reshuffle. Perhaps, after restructuring in the storms of the market economy, there will be good products with high quality and good prices. The price restricts the improvement of the quality of the instruments. The low-price competition of domestic instruments has led to insufficient funds and poor technological innovation capabilities of textile instrument manufacturers. There is too little investment in new product development, insufficient human and material resources, and no multi-faceted theoretical research. , The phenomenon of imitating foreign or mutual imitation is serious, and the key technology is difficult to break through. The development of domestic textile instruments in high-end products is still a long way to go. Several suggestions for the development of domestic textile instruments. Pay attention to applied basic research. In recent years, there has been great development in textile materials, textile technology, and textile machinery. New indicators and test items are emerging in an endless stream, all of which provide for the development of textile testing instruments. A lot of space. Such as: high-speed single yarn strength tester, photoelectric evenness tester, photoelectric fabric inspection machine, foreign fiber removal technology, etc. It is strongly recommended that textile colleges, scientific research units and qualified textile instrument manufacturers pay attention to directional testing theory research, develop leading instruments with independent intellectual property rights in a certain testing field, improve the quality of characteristic products, and strive to reach the international advanced level , Improve the level of domestic textile instruments. Even if it is to digest and absorb advanced technology, we should also pay attention to thorough research in theory, so as to improve and innovate on its basis. Vigorously developing textile instruments with independent intellectual property rights requires strong support from all aspects including government departments. Taking the large-capacity cotton testing system (HVI) in the current national cotton circulation system reform as an example, Changling Textile has successfully developed a large-capacity cotton testing system Ⅺ120 several years ago, and has further improved it on this basis. Get the support of the national fiber inspection department. We hope that the domestically produced large-capacity cotton testing system will be popularized in the domestic cotton circulation field as soon as possible. In addition, the research on the instrument should not be limited to the instrument itself. The research on the application of the instrument should be included in the entire research and promotion process. The well-known Uster Statistical Bulletin has set a good example for our instrument manufacturing industry. Strengthening the formulation and revision of metrological verification procedures and calibration specifications Metrological verification procedures and calibration specifications play an important role in the manufacture, calibration and use of textile instruments. The lack of verification procedures, calibration specifications, or even imperfections will not only cause confusion in the measurement value, but also cause confusion in the textile instrument market. For example, due to the imperfect requirements of dynamic characteristics and incomplete verification methods in the metrological verification procedures of electronic single-yarn strength machines, some electronic single-yarn strength machines are qualified according to the metrological verification procedures. When actually testing the yarn breaking strength, low speed and high speed are used. The breaking strength of stretched yarns varies greatly, and the breaking strength of high-speed stretching and lower-speed stretching yarns is tens of percentage points lower. It is obvious that the dynamic characteristics are too poor; therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the formulation and revision of metrological verification procedures and calibration specifications. .

What Are the ISTA Standard Tests and ISTA Testing Equipment?
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard tests are globally recognized transportation packaging test procedures designed to evaluate the safety and reliability of products and their packaging throughout the logistics chain. By simulating real-world transportation conditions such as drops, vibration, impact, stacking, and compression, ISTA testing helps identify potential packaging weaknesses before products enter large-scale distribution. ISTA testing equipment—including drop testers, vibration testers, incline impact machines, and compression testers—plays a critical role in accurately reproducing these conditions under laboratory settings. Proper selection and use of ISTA-compliant equipment enable manufacturers to reduce transportation damage, lower return costs, enhance packaging design, and improve customer confidence in product quality and logistics safety.
