Abstract
Apparatus for carrying out optical readings on textile materials submitted to dyeing comprising optical reading means associated with corresponding optical processing means, characterised in that said detecting means comprise two optical reading devices: a first reflectance reading device (1) which carries out optical detections on a specimen or sample of a textile material submitted to dyeing, and a second transmittance reading device (101) which carries out optical detections on the dyeing bath, being said reading devices connected to said processing means (20) to provide it with two different optical detection signals.
Claims8
A method for carrying out optical readings on textile materials submitted to dyeing, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first optical reading chamber into which a dyeing bath flows, said dyeing bath being drawn out of a dyeing tank or machine carrying out a dyeing process on a given textile material;
- providing a sample made of the same material of which said textile material is made and positioning said sample in said first optical reading chamber;
- providing a second optical reading chamber into which a dyeing bath coming from said dyeing tank or machine flows;
- executing a reflectance optical reading inside said first chamber and a transmittance optical reading inside the second chamber and transmitting the signals respectively corresponding to the light reflected by the specimen surface in the first chamber and/or corresponding to the light transmitted through the fluid contained in said second chamber, said signals being transmitted to an optical processing means.
