True-Matic Fabric Inspection Systems

The Pernick True-Matic Inspection systems, the most advanced in the marketplace today, detect fabric shortages BEFORE the fabric is cut. By inspecting first, you eliminate costly problems later on such as spreading unusable fabric and inefficient inspection in the cutting room which can lead to costly delays in production time.

The True-Matic can inspect all sorts of fabrics, from denim to warp knits, but is especially good for stretchables and elastics.

The Pernick True-Matic machines were created because many apparel manufacturers, especially those producing intimate apparel, activewear and swimwear, using fabrics with elastic yarns were facing the following problems:

• Incorrect length measurements on fabrics rolls that cause over payment for goods and not enough fabric to complete orders.
  
• Incorrect width measurements on fabric rolls that cause poor utilization of fabric when using computerized pattern marking system.
  
• Excessive tension in the spread fabrics that cause "bounce-back" in the cut patterns.

The above problems were created by fabric manufacturers who did not have the ability to do the following during the debatching operation:

• Release the tension from the fabric when the length and width measurements are recorded.
  
• Rewind the measured fabric in a roll ready for shipment to the apparel manufacturer with tensions that do not exceed 2%.

The industry standards are now being set by the Pernick True-Matic systems that have solved these problems with elastic fabrics by using a relaxing, measuring and rerolling system designed with the following features:

1. An automatic loop system or systems to release the tension from the fabric roll and permit correct length and width measurements.
2. Calibrated length and width measuring devices.
3. A motor drive system that allows the fabric to be rewound with a maximum 1 1/2 or 2% controlled tension for shipping.
