This computerized system detects the faults by means of infrared optical readers positioned to analyze the knitted fabric and makes use of accurate testing methods.

It avoid manufacturing damage pieces and allows a quality control in terms of kind and number of defects.

The instrument features different adjustments for holes and dropped stitches and their relevant luminous logarithmic scales. A testing and monitoring method conducted on 3 rotations allows to spot the smallest dropped stitches.

The built-in microcontroller stores and display the number and kind of the defects.

The back-lighted, 32-character LCD screen displays the useful data in a clear and complete way.

The instrument sensitivity can be easily adjusted, since it is steadily displayed and can be altered by means of proper keys.

This new release of well-know standard products as FM8 and FM9 point to optimize costs and dimensions.

Adjustments and the gathered data are protected by a secret code which can be disabled and/or by an electronic key. The owner of the electronic key can alter the secret code and/or prevent other users from gaining access to the keyboard.

A wide range of optical readers with a complete adjustment allows to use this instrument for a great number of types of production.

The instrument includes dialogs in Italian, English, French and other languages on request .
