Mahlo will present excerpts from its portfolio of modular systems and innovative solutions at the Techtextil expo, in stand 3.0/B42. The leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens will be held from May 14-17, 2019, in Frankfurt, Germany. Mahlo is manufacturer of measuring, control, and automation systems for the textile industry.

Visitors can observe the Famacont PMC-15 thread density measurement in live operation. The system measures the thread or knit density by means of a sensor on the running web and compares it with the nominal value stored in the recipe data management. The detected deviation of the thread density from the nominal value is used to fully automatically regulate the over-feed during the pinning process on the tenter. For measurement, the Famacont PMC uses continuous opto-electronic scanning with transmitted or incident light or imaging with a camera. Its special feature: the system can display weft and warp threads. Depending on the fabric speed and fabric type, the opto-electronic TK sensor can detect up to 220 threads/cm, the camera sensors CK and CK HF up to 270 threads/cm depending on the design. The special FFT software analyses the images with precision and, in addition, allows determining the weight of the product directly, the company said in a media statement.

Also on display will be a model of the Orthopac CRVMC-12 automatic straightener – a specialist for technical textiles. Due to its very solid construction, the machine with its modular design allows large working widths of up to 5,400 mm with high tensile stress at the same time. Another special feature is that the bow rollers are only swung into the fabric when required and produce a very uniform straightening effect. If there is no bow distortion, the rollers are in neutral position without touching the fabric.

Whether in the automotive, construction, or agricultural sectors, the system solutions that the experts from Mahlo can put together for their customers are as diverse as the possible uses of technical textiles. At Techtexil in Frankfurt, there will be plenty of opportunity to discuss the various options. (GK)
