3900 Series
Fabric & Carpet Measurement
The 3900 Series is designed to measure fabric, carpet and textiles up to 24mm thick.
Length measurement is activated by movement of the material as it passes between the measuring roller and the spring-loaded pressure roller. An integrated brake prevents over spin at the end of the piece for accuracy.

Industry Applications
The 3900 Series measures the length of material up to 24mm (.945in) thick and can accommodate material with pile up or down, or with no pile. It’s commonly used in applications including:
- Manufacturing of textiles, films, plastics and papers
- Fabric inspection
- Length cutting
- Material length tracking
Features
The 3900 comes standard with:
- 0.25% accuracy
- 0.25m diameter measuring wheel
- Mechanical counter
You also have the following ordering options:
- Units of measure (meters, ft/in, yards/eights)
- Direction of travel (traveling towards or away from the operator)
- Counter position (counter on left or right)
- Optional shaft encoder to replace the mechanical counter with an electronic counter
If you have special materials that are abrasive or easily marked, please request special wheels.
The 3900 is activated by material passing between the measuring roller and the spring-loaded pressure roller. An integral brake prevents overspin at the end of the material and is automatically released when another piece of material is passed between the rollers.
