- Analyzes hand movements-particularly, pushing with a finger-performed by artisans and professionals when judging a fabric’s texture. This device performs this movement mechanically, making it possible to obtain objective numerical data.

- Obtainable data includes compression rigidity, compression energy, and recoverability for such targets as general fabric, cloth, paper, and non-woven fabric.

- Compression characteristic data is useful for determining fullness and softness, smoothness, anti-drape stiffness.

- Measurement can be performed with a minimum load detection of 10 gf/cm² for extremely small objects.
