The installation of a Multi-Matic warp-sampling machine from Karl Mayer has reduced warp preparation times at Rohleder and expanded the range of design options.
Stylish, functional, and efficient to produce—spacer fabrics are considered all-rounders among textile materials. The sports and leisure footwear sector, in particular, demands versatile materials that combine comfort, breathability, and design freedom. At the same time, the industry is—like few others—driven by trends, dynamic, and price-sensitive.
High-speed processes such as digital printing, finishing, and cutting require precise, real-time detection and control of the material web. Conventional sensor systems often reach their limits in these applications due to complex patterns, materials, or edge structures. AI-based optical sensors bridge this gap by interpreting visual data and deriving the necessary parameters for process control. In this context, ELSEAMTEX and ELWARP from Erhardt+Leimer offer innovative solutions.
