From May 14 to 17, Techtextil 2019 will bring together more exhibitors from even more countries than before in Frankfurt, Germany to present technical textiles for all applications.
BMSvision
Booth: H3.0 B21
BMSvision’s focus at the show will be on
camera-driven ON-LOOM inspection systems, Industry 4.0 and mobile MES
solutions.
BMSvision has been a pioneer in the field
of on-loom quality control for weaving mills with its CYCLOPS system. With its new product ARGUS, BMSvision again
pushes the boundaries of automatic on loom inspection. A system capable of inspecting unicolor Jacquard fabrics is now
available for weavers of top quality products, such as OPW airbags, mattress
ticking.
With BI Connect, an optional extension to the BMS reporting tool, all data in the BMS
data base is available for use in standard business analysis tools. With these
tools, the user can freely search and explore across all data, instantly pivoting
his analysis when new ideas surface. Innovative visualizations put all data in
the right context allowing fast and smart decisions.
In addition, the company will present the MyMES, which is an App available
for both Android and iOS and includes a cockpit and an alert module. The
cockpit shows the KPI’s and important production and quality data of the plant
while the alert module highlights problem areas that need immediate attention.
BRÜCKNER
Booth: H3.0 F29

BRÜCKNER will present a new BRÜCKNER SUPRA-FLOW BA
air-through thermofusion oven. It is designed to guarantee a particularly
gentle transport of the unbonded web. This is achieved by a sophisticated air
circulation design.
It is also characterised by minimum heat
consumption, high flow uniformity and constant temperature distribution over
the entire working width. The good accessibility of the oven chamber leads to a
high maintenance friendliness.
The dryer is available in working widths up to 4600
mm. It is designed for production speeds of up to 250 m/min and thus offers
potential for line optimization.
Typical end products, which are bonded on the
BRÜCKNER SUPRA-FLOW BA high-end thermofusion oven according to the air-through
principle, are nonwovens for diapers, nonwovens for feminine care and
incontinence products but also filter nonwovens and special nonwovens.
Another innovation to be introduced is the BRÜCKNER
SUPRA-FLOW BX double belt dryer. The SUPRA-FLOW BX is particularly suitable for
products with a higher weight, thickness and/or density and relatively high
pressure losses during the flow through the product.
The following processes can be implemented on the
system: Thermofusion, heat-setting and drying. The SUPRA-FLOW BX is of
particular interest to manufacturers of mattresses, duvets, inserts, insulation,
furniture, automotive components, thermal and acoustic insulation in the
construction industry and carrier materials .
KARL MAYER
Booth: H3.0 E18

KARL MAYER will showcase
warp-knitted textiles which have an exceptional level of performance at its
booth. Textiles with an excellent performance and lower manufacturing costs can
be produced by combining the possibilities of additive production with warp
knitting technology. Examples of this include warp knits functionalised by 3D
printing and these are being presented at Techtextil.
KARL MAYER has grouped
together all its activities relating to the use of new technologies and
innovative products under the concept of RAPID TEXTILE. They form part of the
TEXTILE MAKERSPACE system, a platform that offers the space to try things out,
develop new products and think outside the box.
Electrically conductive
textiles are a hot topic at the moment and can be produced in a variety of
different ways. The easiest method is to directly incorporate conductive yarns
during fabric production on the machine.
TEXTILE CIRCUIT, another
element of TEXTILE MAKERSPACE, shows the potential of warp knitting here.
Conductive zones offering maximum flexibility in terms of geometry, dimensions
and location can be produced on KARL MAYER’s multibar raschel machines. Examples
include inductive charging stations and the remote control of robots, and these
are being demonstrated at Techtextil.
In addition, double-bar
raschel machines have become firmly established in the production of warp-knitted
spacer textiles featuring a variety of designs. A new model is now enabling
completely new designs to be produced, i.e. warp-knitted textiles with
decorative, relief surfaces.
Instead of the spacer
layer, three-dimensional design elements are worked on the upper and lower
sides. The designs can be shaped and positioned almost without any
restrictions, and can be combined with openwork designs. This is opening up a
new dimension in near-net-shaped production in particular.
Burglars frequently use
chainsaws and drills during attempted break-ins, but they can be stopped
effectively by a new type of patented security panel with weft-inserted
warp-knitted textiles in the core.
On contact with the
cut-resistant textiles, the rotating tools quickly release large amounts of
fibres from the material. These become entangled and the tool is stopped. The
highly effective security panels are also very light and can be applied very
easily to e.g. security doors, armoured vehicles, vaults and cash machines.
