One of the advantages of the TR-7810ACP is continuous and digital measurement (1mm pitch) of air flow. Rather than manual measurement and checking of just a few points, a comprehensive air flow status of the reed is provided. Location of unusual air flow along the reeds can be identified on the graph generated by the encoder behind the unit.

The TR-7810ACP enables you to measure air flow on-loom with only a minimum preparation of your Picanol AJL (move the reed to the vertical position, loosen the warp yarns, lift and fix the reed).

After installation of software, air flow data can be imported from the TR-7810ACP to your personal computer through a USB cable. The air flow data can be quickly and easily converted to a graph format. Those data can be stored according to your reed serial numbers, so comparison with past data of the same reed is feasible (10 measurements per serial number can be stored in the PC file).

Air flow of new reeds is the best. Air flow that is too high may cause the weft to fly out of the tunnel. Fluctuating air flow may prevent the stable flight of the weft. Air flow that is too low may cause unexpected weft flight anomalies.

– Calibration before every measurement can ensure accuracy of your air flow data.

– Real time checking of air flow on the LCD of the TR-7810ACP during measurement is also feasible. The graph can be displayed on the LCD, too.

– PDF output of the graph is possible. This makes it easy to distribute results amongst necessary co-workers.

– Encoder position is adjustable depending on the outer height of your Picanol AJL reeds.

– mbar is the employed unit of air flow.

– [NEW] Rechargeable. About 1 hour for full-charging, about 3 hours as usage time at full-recharged, and over 250,000 times rechargeable.

TR recommends a combination of the TR-7810ACP and the TR Reed Cleaner (TR-7600RC: On-loom Reed Cleaner or TR510: Ultrasonic Reed Cleaning Machine) for quality control of your reeds:
