marily interested in innovations and
new products and, as usual, Mahlo
had something to offer here. The
exhibition area was divided into
three sections presenting the areas
of Product Inspection, Straightening
and Process Control to the visitors.
The following innovations were pre-
sented to the visitors:
Automatic defect inspec-
tion WIS-12
The automatic defect detection
system, already successfully em-
ployed in the textile and nonwovens
area, was presented in its revised
and improved design. A model of a
complete unrolling station with de-
fect detection and colour measure-
ment, as installed at the textile refn-
er Bamberger Kaliko in Germany,
could be seen. Especially the aspects
of modularity and user-friendliness
of the system were revised. All
components of the Webscan WIS-
12 can now be scaled according to
individual demand without excep-
tion. Operation and handling was
signifcantly simplifed, especially
in the area of the defect classifca-
tion. Defect patterns now enable the
operator to simply classify defects
allowing similar defects to be found
in the next pass.
Orthopac CRVMC-12
The modern straightening mecha-
nism of the system opens up new av-
enues. The roller positioning drive,
registered for patent approval, en-
sures that the straightening rollers
always contact the product uniform-
ly across the entire product width,
regardless of the present position
of the rollers. In addition, the prod-
uct always wraps around the rollers
only as far as necessary. The com-
mon idle time when the bow rollers
are swinging over from “Edge for-
ward” to “Centre forward” is com-
pletely eliminated.
Orthofact RMB-12 /
RFMB-12
Mahlo included the pin straighten-
ing wheel once more in the portfolio
of straightening systems. The device
exhibits some new and fresh ideas
compared with known technology.
For example, the counterforce pro-
duced by a spring always ensures
the uniform and symmetric align-
ment of the pin wheels. Elaborate le-
ver constructions requiring intensive
maintenance can thus be dispensed
with. An infnitely variable unclip-
ping roller minimises residual bow
and edge distortions.
