ABSTRACT:
A testing apparatus includes a receiver for holding a plurality of textile samples and an automatic feed mechanism disposed adjacent to the receiver for selectively engaging and removing samples from the receiver and transporting them to a processor where the textile material is processed to produce textile entities in an individualized condition. The entities are then transported to a sensor that produces signals corresponding to characteristics of the entities. A control means detects the presence or absence of a sample in the automatic feed mechanism and controls it accordingly. Analog and digital components analyze the characteristic signals to identify segments of the characteristic signals that correspond to neps, trash and fibers.
