Large, artistic graphics, timeless glen check or exact pinstripes. This presents an increasing challenge for textile manufacturers to produce straight weft and straightened patterns. Here, the alignment according to the design often plays a greater role than the weft insertion. The manufacturer of measuring, control and automation systems Mahlo GmbH & Co. KG, Saal a.d. Donau/Germany, solves this problem with its improved Patcontrol PCS-20 system for pattern recognition and warp control. It straightens bow and skew distortions in technical textiles just as reliably as in terry cloth. Even goods that cannot be detected with conventional scanning systems do not pose a problem for pattern recognition.
The system uses camera technology to detect the position of the pattern and automatically and continuously determines the pattern repeat, measures the product width, and together with a straightener straightens the product distortion based on the print pattern.
New long-life LED lighting generates the maximum brightness on the market, thereby extending the scanning range for darker goods. Improved cameras allow brightness control by gain and exposure time. More than 2 cameras can also be connected per measuring point. This allows a higher resolution and even more accurate results. A Gigabit connection allows the transmission of large amounts of data. Using a mounting aid, the exact camera adjustment can be done easily and quickly. A compact interface box at the measuring point integrates the Patcontrol PCS-20 even more easily into the existing plant.
The system is also integrated into the mSmart digitalization concept. Users, machines and processes are networked with each other and meet all the requirements of Industry 4.0.
