Members of the TMAS-the Swedish textile machine manufacturer association-associations will be introduced to the upcoming ITMA Asia + Citme Textile Machinery exhibition in Singapore from October 28th to 31st, whereby the focus is on sensor-based automation and resource savings.
“The advance after automation, AI-controlled production and digitization continues to accelerate because the manufacturers are trying to improve efficiency and reduce the dependency on repeating tasks for employees,” says TMAS general secretary Therese Premler-Sons. “Advanced automation enables the prediction expectation and real-time quality monitoring in fully integrated production systems, and our members already use these technologies to help customers reduce downtimes, improve efficiency and produce more sustainable.”
Individual supplier
Under his trademark, ACG Kinna Automatic (in Hall 6, Stand D106 in Singapore) under his trademark “Complete process – a supplier” The development of complete robot lines for the production of pillows and duvets for the sector of the home and package and packaging of filling material and packaging of the filling material and the filling material and the pioneering work.
A few years ago, such lines were viewed by manufacturers as something exciting for the future, but suddenly they have become essential for the competition and survival in today's fast -moving industry.
“Automation has become a must for several reasons,” says Tomas Aspenskog, Marketing and Sales Manager from ACG Kinna. “The product trackability, flexibility and local production as well as new trading regulations are now driving the market and in view of the challenge of finding qualified operators and constantly increasing costs, the manufacturers are looking for simpler systems that save resources and productivity, wherever possible, increase productivity.
“Our modular solutions enable customers to be more flexible and faster when adjusting certain parts of a production line to meet new requirements and also grow over time. There are also many advantages for manufacturers in dealing with only one project manager, contact person, supplier, goods retail and installation team.”
Industrial sewing
In Singapore, the ACG Kinna Automatic will introduce the New Hector Industrial Sewing Machine for the heavy circular and point sutures of filled textile components such as garden pillows, outside pillows and mattresses. Hector is already employed by leading Swedish retailers such as Ikea and Jysk in their manufacturing companies.
The hector's sewing is adjustable and can open to absorb thicker objects under the needle and printer foot. It is available in three versions with sewing in lengths of 60, 100 and 120 centimeters.
Eltex Eyetm
Another TMAS member, Eltex (Hall 2, Stand C203), has achieved an important breakthrough in the eye voltage monitoring system for heat setting, tuffing, distortion and winding sectors, with electromagnetic brakes in combination with the latest advanced sensors being added. These enable the voltage fluctuations to not only recognize in real time during operation, but also to automatically adjust it in real time instead of changing as before.
The company's ACT-R unit can significantly reduce the Selvedge yarn waste from the shot incisation systems of rapier web machines and at the same time maintain the same and uniform voltage over all pre-resorts.
“Our ACT-R is a completely plug & play, an independent system and self-synchronized without communication with the weaving machine,” explains the Eltex sales engineer Michél Gamhov. “This is important because many older web machines are still in operation worldwide and enables the ACT-R to make immediate improvements without improving these machines in any way. We have achieved fantastic results for Weber who work with recycles that are amazed at the difference in the uniform quality and uninterrupted production that can be achieved.
“As everyone knows, the less waste, the more you save in materials, work, runtime and quality, and we can cut off losses in many of these areas. Depending on the challenges you face, many of our sensor -based systems can give older textile machines that give a new life a new life.
SveGea Tubular Components
The SveGea colarette machines (Hall 6, Stand D109) set the standard throughout Asia for the high-speed production of pipe clothing components such as cuffs, collars and neck straps and in Singapore the company will demonstrate its EC 50 and EC 200 models in addition to linked cutting systems.
“Our collar machines are designed for a long service life and energy efficiency of the life cycle and reduce and ensure high -quality binding,” says Håkan Steene, Managing Director of Svegea. “Our customers in Asia are increasingly looking for automation to improve efficiency and achieve cost savings, and we meet these requirements by developing flexible machines that can be adapted to a variety of customer requirements and can combine high performance with user -friendly automation functions.
Vandewiele know-how
The advanced weaving control is also the foundation of the business for Vandewiele Sweden (Hall 2, Stand D301E), the firing yarn feeding and voltage control units for weaving for web chairs for the majority of the leading weaving machine manufacturers and for the latest X4 feathers with integrated accessories with integrated accessories with the leading machine manufacturers Feders with integrated machines with the Yarn -Yarn springs at the mill in the world.
X4 feeders are available in three different versions with an integrated voltage display (TED), with integrated active voltage control (ATC) or with the quick release, with which the settings of the shooting voltage can be transferred from one machine to another to enable a quick start if the next time the same article is woven. The position of the S-Flex tensioner is constantly monitored by an internal sensor if the setting is made during the switch-off.
Vandewiele Sweden has recently strengthened its product portfolio with IRO -Gaubre -Pür modules that are applied to Tobing web chairs for the carpet industry to determine the appearance of a carpet in terms of feeling and structure. All parts are now available on the e-commerce website www.iroonline.com.
“Our size and flexibility mean that we can offer tailor -made customer solutions for certain inquiries – something that has many larger manufacturers difficulties,” says Division Manager Tobias Sternfeldt.
Spray technology
After all, the automated Texcoat G4 finishing system from BW Converting (Hall 8, Stand B201) has been out of control in recent years and the company will announce a completely new but related technology shortly before the exhibition in Singapore.
“The Texcoat G4 spray technology was developed in Sweden from our off-set printing business, and we initially focused on the installation of units in Europe and the USA,” explains the Vice President of the Global Business Development for Textiles Rick Stanford. “However, we have been very active in Asia in the past two years, with 35 units sold – and many of these customers have asked for technologies in related areas. We will say more soon.”
