The Systems Laboratory is equipped to design, construct and study experimental textile production machinery, as well as the development of textile materials with physical procedures. Some capacities available are:
- Human team of textile, computer, electronic and mechanical engineering: with capacity to develop experimental textile systems based on conventional or innovation technologies.
- Mechanical workshop: with equipment to construct and modify laboratory size equipment and small pilot (freses CNC, lathes, printer 3D, etc.)
- Electronics workshop: with capacity to implement controls based on PLC, microcontrollers, sensor reading, actuators, programming of controls, assembly of panels controls, low and medium power.
- Equipment for physical process analysis: high speed camera, thermography, Doppler laser anemometry, laser micrometry, various sensors and data logging.
- Laboratory for textile materials physical analysis: strength, regularity, friction, flexibility, compressibility, etc.
