Erhardt+Leimer at Index 2020

At Index 2020, which runs from March 31 to April 3 in Geneva, Erhardt+Leimer will present its comprehensive networking concept EL.NET, which, thanks to the many new products and features, clearly sets the customer and their requirements in the center.

E+L web guiders are I 4.0-ready

The DRB pivoting frame series offers all the benefits of networking, from brushless small web guiders through to large pivoting frame systems, as if from a single source. All the components of the DRB series are networked using Ethernet and form their own network. However, the benefit for the customer is created by its effects, both inwards and outwards. Besides the rapid and transparent data exchange within the system, this data is now available for Industry 4.0 applications. In principle, Erhardt+Leimer has let itself be guided by the open architecture and offers this benefit irrespective of the hardware and software. This means that any user with standard terminals, such as a PC, tablet or even smartphone, can access the system with a browser, make settings or simply operate it. The precondition is simply access via the machine or the Intranet of the user. In addition, this technology now offers real Plug & Play functionality, which E+L will present at its stand.



Wide band sensor for the evaluation of up to four edges

The networking concept is rounded off with the infrared wide band sensor FR 61, which is available with a fork length of up to 480 mm and allows itself to be equally seamlessly integrated into the described system architecture.

Web tension measurement and control

Naturally, the web tension measuring amplifier PA 62 and the web tension controller DC 62 can be networked with the machine in the same way as the products named above, thus closing the circle of total networking, with the derivative benefits for the customer, such as a two-channel measuring amplifier, LCD display for displaying the actual web tension value, a trend curve or the individual values for the left and right side of the web. Alarm functions on exceeding limit values, which can be configured individually, are naturally included.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.
