With the development of the USTER® TESTER 5 a new approach has emerged in the analysis of yarns characteristics - evenness variations, surface variations, impurity and bulk – in the laboratory.

The 1-step BSY yarn from a PET base remains the most cost-effective yarn production method available currently in the market in order to produce textured-like fabrics.

Only packages wound on precision winders with closed-loop tension control systems and on step-precision winders can fully meet all yarn dyeing and post-dyeing requirements in terms of quality and economy.

Measuring yarn diameter, yarn compressibility and their effect on fabric quality is important to both the fabric designer and the textile technologist.

CAD/CAM is virtually a “No Limit” solution for textile designing & manufacturing with a vast application area including in dobby, jacquard and screen printing as well as blanket, carpet and knitting industries.

Innovations in segregation of halls, newfound enthusiasm of exhibitors, especially from Asia, first-time focus areas for education & research, emphasis on emerging areas like nonwovens……the list is endless. ITMA 2007 is set to open on a high note of optimism. Will the visitor’s moods and final results endorse the feel-good sentiments built up so far?

The Munich ITMA has many firsts – internationally. And for India, it holds a few welcome surprises. For the first time, a textile research institution – Bombay Textile Research Institution – and an educational institution – DKTE, Ichalkaranji – are participating with separate stalls.
