The all seeing eye – CAM series 400

For the assessment of quality parameters but also weft-straightening, precise detection and advanced image processing is the most important aspect. The brand new CAM offers cutting-edge technology with many novelties for best results: Completely new lighting with increased brightness and special lighting possibilities allow a detection of all kinds of fabric independent from density or color.

This in combination with a four times higher calculation power, higher resolution with five-times more pixels and revised algorithms for calculation of distortion and pick/course density makes it the leading technology in the area. On top, it is also designed as a retrofit for existing PLEVA systems with easy connectors and is fitted for even the harshest conditions thanks to an improved housing design.

Your advantages:

• Stationary measurement of fabric density on woven and knitted fabrics
• High-tech smart camera system with transmission and reflection lighting with various lighting  scenarios with high brightness for best detection independent of density and colour
• Special cameras for DENIM, automotive fabrics, high-density fabric (up to 220 picks/cm)
• Integration of up to 2 CAMs in process monitoring and control system PLEVATEC smart possible via modules DensityMonitoring smart or DensityControl smart
• Retrofitting of existing PLEVA systems with the latest CAM 400 series possible

Application:

Fabric density measurement after sanforizing with shrinkage control
Fabric density measurement after stenter with overfeed control

Automatic high-tech straightening machine with advanced distortion analysis

Weft-straightener SL smart - The smart way of weft-straightening

The weft-straightening machine SL smart is designed particularly for knitted and woven fabrics with a maximum fabric width of 3.2m with a plurality of new design solutions. The heart of the SL smart system is the well-established advanced traversing camera technology which is unique in weft-straightening. The universal high-resolution camera captures more than 20 measuring points per meter of fabric width. Advanced evaluation algorithm enable an ultra-precise distortion analysis for perfect straightening results in a blink of time.

Your advantages:

• Automatic weft-straightening machine (weft-straightener) for woven and knitted fabrics up to maximum fabric widths of 3 m.
• Distortion detection with high-tech smart camera (up to 70 picks/cm) in reflected light with highest detection performance.
• Best straightening results due to robust linear drives.
• Robust 12'' HMI with intuitive user interface.
• Easy installation and very low, userfriendly maintenance.

Options:

Upgradeable with process control PLEVATEC smart

• HeatControl (fabric temperature with dwell time control)
• HumidityControl (exhaust air humidity control)
• MoistureControl (residual moisture control)
• Upgradeable with yarn density measurement CAM in the outlet of stenter frame/shrink machine for DensityMonitoring or DensityControl

• High-tech Inlet-Outlet systems

The air humidity measurement FS is used to minimize the energy consumption of drying processes in dryers and stenter. The maintenance-free exhaust humidity sensors type FS X measures the humidity of the process air to control the exhaust air rate for an economic efficiency on drying process. It can be used in processes up to 600 °C.

Your advantages:

• Extremely robust measurement of exhaust humidity at highest humidity levels
• For process temperatures up to 600 °C
• Strongest known sensor construction enables highest possible durability
• Can be used at very high levels of air pollution
• Practically no maintenance (1 minute in 3 months)

Application:

Circulating and exhaust air humidity of industrial dryers of any kind (textile, paper, food, wood, building materials, chemistry,…)
Control of exhaust humidity to save energy
Control of circulating air humidity for a uniform drying climate to increase product quality
Possibility to connect up to 3 humidity sensors FS X to the electronic box FS X Box

Versions:

• Sensor FS X ST up to 250°C, measuring range up to 1000 g/kg
• Sensor FS X HT up to 600°C, measuring range up to 90°C dew point
