Mahlo GmbH + Co KG will participate in the upcoming CINTE Techtextil show, to be held from September 4 to 6, 2018 in Shanghai. The show is considered to be one of the most important trade fairs for technical textiles and nonwovens in Asia. The company will display its latest developments in measuring and controlling of quality critical parameters within the running web.
The centrepoint of their showcase will be web gauging system Qualiscan QMS-12. The tool gauges parameters such as basis weight, thickness or moisture across the entire width. To achieve this, up to five sensors are traversing simultaneously on sturdy scanners, constantly collecting data and transmit them to the interface. In use are radioactive sources as well as infrared, laser, microwaves and air permeability sensors.
The company anticipates a strong interest in its infrared sensor Infrascope NIR. The sensor measures the absorption of infrared energy while identifying basis weight and moisture at the same time. Those important parameters can be measured and controlled precisely in a spun lace unit. Due to a very high spectral resolution, the sensor can distinguish between components with very similar IR absorption. This capability allows the highly selective individual measurement of a specific component or layer in the web without interference from other components all without the use of radioactive isotopes.
