Modular PLEVATEC smart & pro

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
