Modular straightening and process control system Quality made in Germany TEXTIL NONWOVEN COATING & EXTRUSION CONVERTING

STRAIGHTENING AND PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM TEXTIL NONWOVEN COATING & EXTRUSION CONVERTING ORTHOPAC® RVMC-15 A modular designed system for fully automatic skew correction and process control Area of application Textile manufacturers and textile outfitters are fighting with increasing production and energy costs, declining profit margins, shorter production times as well as greater requirements on quality and flexibility. Cost-efficient and quality-focused textile outfitting thus becomes increasingly important. Sustained production and the trend to higher-quality, technically sophisticated textiles...

TABLE OF CONTENTS Principle of operation The weft straightener Orthopac with integrated web distortion detection forms the basis of the modular design. Additional intelligent sensors can be connected to the control system via a bus connection. The following process parameters can be measured, visualized, controlled and documented by means of special software packages (Print Server). - Weft thread or course skew / skew and bow rollers of the straightener Orthopac RVMC - High moisture / squeezing pressure - Thread or course density / over-feed - Exhaust air humidity / fan speed / flap opening -...

Principle of operation Web distortion in textiles can be determined in several ways. Distortions alter the regular bright-dark patterns in an illuminated moving fabric. The classical approach is to detect this signal modulation with an optical sensor (modulation principle). Apart from this, camera scanning can be used or both principles of function can be combined. The scanners of the weft scanner and control Orthopac must record the distortion immediately behind the straightener to be able to detect the result of the control process as quickly as possible. Scanning principle according to the...

TEXTIL NONWOVEN COATING & EXTRUSION CONVERTING Optoelectronic scanning according to the modulation principle (scanner TK) Scanner TK with reflex light (integrated) and transmitted light A number of scanners and lamps are spaced evenly across the product web. The product runs between scanner and lamp. The structure of the passing weft threads and courses modulates the light intensity measured by the scanners. The structures repeat regularly creating bright-dark patterns. These patterns generate a modulated signal in the scanner’s receiver system. A centrallypivoted, cylindrical lens in the scanner...

Image scanning (scanners HTK or CTK) Several high-resolution cameras placed across the product width scan the passing material web. The angle of the weft thread is determined by FFT analysis. Interfering signals not agreeing with the frequency of weft threads, courses or rows of tufting are fi ltered digitally. Only signals relevant to distortion are analysed and the web distortion is calculated automatically and precisely from this. Suitable lighting versions (refl ex light, transmitted light, power lights) are available also featuring automatic adjustment of the light intensity to different...
