Technical Discussion of the Emtec Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA), 19TissueCon



This presentation will address the technical aspects of the Emtec TSA.  How does the brain interpret softness?  What is handfeel?  With an understanding of how these values are traditionally derived, we can recognize the technical basics of the test, and show how it relates to handfeel.  Does this test replace the handfeel panel of old, or is it a supplement? 

The discussion will address the technical side of the instrument....the physical test itself, and how the derived parameters (acoustic signals, deformation, etc) are then used to arrive at a reliable handfeel value.  This will also include discussion of the algorithms and possible applications (process control, QC tool, etc). 

TAPPI conference proceedings and presentations, technical papers, and publication articles provide technical and management data and solutions on topics covering the Pulp, Paper, Tissue, Corrugated Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Nanotechnology and Converting Industries.
