The stand covers several items of interest, in particular the so called "Innovation Spot", which will doubtless be the focus of most attention. The demonstration range, on which material circulates continuously, includes the new straightening system "ORTHOPAC XRVMC-12", which was first introduced at the ITMA 2007 and has since very successfully held its own in the marketplace. As the first system of its type, it offers a unique combination of simultaneous adjustment and control. The independently adjustable straightening rollers guarantee the best possible control over the straightening process and realign material faster than ever before. 

At the other end of the demo-range, visitors will find the new "WEBSCAN WIS-12", an on-line fault detector featuring the very latest in camera technology. This revolutionary system with a fault-detection quota of up to 100% at line-speeds of up to 100m/min offers a completely novel way of inspecting fabric. The "Straightening Spot" features the well-established, world renowned straightening system "ORTHOPAC RVMC-12" in compact form for precise detection and correction of bow and skew. This system can be extended into a fully integrated process control system. Visitors will find its associated sensors and those for the stand-alone process controller "OPTIPAC VMC-12" in the "Sensor Spot".

The display is rounded off by the new traversing moisture monitor Textodrive TMS-12“, and on-line pattern sampler "Samplecut FSC-12" exhibits.
