At the ITMEX 2009, 10. – 13.03.2008, in São Paulo, TEXTECHNO Herbert Stein GmbH & Co. KG, the
experts for quality control systems for fibres and yarns, will be present to introduce testing instruments
for the textile industry.

The company was founded by Mr. Herbert Stein on April 1st, 1949 in Mönchengladbach, Germany. In
60 years of history the company has developed to one of the leading manufacturers of testing
instruments for the textile and man made fibre industry. As a result of excellent reliability, innovative
design, and unique technical features TEXTECHNO’s instruments are playing an important role in the
qualtity control of the textile industry.

Innovative technology, outstanding quality of manufacture, high productivity, and reliability in service
are the key features of all TEXTECHNO products. The scope of supply includes fully-automatic testers
for tensile strength, linear density, shrink, crimp, interlace, friction and fibre length.

TEXTECHNO is an internationally operating company, sales agents and service stations can be found
in more then 60 countries worldwide. Furthermore TEXTECHNO is operating a sales office in
Chemnitz, Germany, to serve the east European and former USSR countries market.

One of the main objectives of TEXTECHNO on the ITMEX 2009 is to introduce the new CottonControl
line instruments:

- STATIMAT DS Automatic tensile, linear density and capacitive evenness tester for yarn,
- DYNAJET Automatic high-speed weak spot tester for spun yarn,
- FIBROTEST Semi-automatic fibre length and (absolute) strength tester for staple fibres,
- LENGTHCONTROL (LCT) Automatic fibre length tester for slivers, delivering valuable
information for optimum setting of carding machine and draw-frame; based on Trützschlertechnology.
- This line of instruments will further be completed in the near future.

TEXTECHNO also provides well-established testers for filament yarn and man-made fibres,
- DYNAFIL ME Universal filament yarn tester for numerous applications like draw-force testing
of POY, crimp testing of DTY and BCF, shrinkage testing of all kinds of yarns including
monofilaments and ATY, optical entanglement test, measurement of friction and broken
filaments,
- COMCOUNT Automatic linear density tester with sample preparation for spin finish analysis,
- COVAFIL Automatic capacitive evenness tester,
- PACKAGE CHANGERS SE (SM) Automatic package changer for 20 (2) yarn ends,
- DYNAFIL HD Heavy duty draw-force tester for fibre tows and coarse filament yarns,
- STATIMAT DS Automatic tensile, linear density and evenness/entanglement tester for yarn,
- STATIMAT 4U Automatic tensile tester for high-tenacity yarns, force measuring range up to
5.000 N. Special features like heavy duty clamps with patented automatically operated bollards
and a - likewise patented - rotary clamp to apply a twist to the yarn prior to tensile testing,
suitable for aramide and UHMPE (Ultra-High Molecular weight Polyethylene) yarns.
- STATIMAT ME+ Automatic tensile tester for yarns,
- STATIMAT MEL+ Automatic tensile and linear density tester for elastomeric yarns (Elastane,
Spandex), elastic combination yarns and elastic fabrics,
- STATIGRAPH L Semi-automatic tensile tester for yarns and fabrics,
- TEXTURMAT ME+ Automatic crimp contraction- and shrinkage tester for yarns,
- ELKOMETER III Yarn imperfection tester for broken filaments and thick places,
- TWIST TESTER Semi-automatic twist tester for yarns, threads and rovings,
 -REEL electronic motor- driven reel for yarns,
 -WRAP REEL electronic motor- driven reel for slivers and rovings,
- FAVIMAT AIROBOT2 Automatic optical crimp, mechanical crimp, linear density and tensile
tester for single fibres (including carbon, aramid and UHMPE), tensionless storage of up to 500
single fibres,
- FAVIGRAPH Semi-automatic single fibre linear density- and tensile tester,
- HELFIS Semi-automatic single fibre shrinkage tester,
- FIBRESTRESS Bending-abrasion- and cyclic-stress tester for fibres and yarns.

Besides the above scope of supply, TEXTECHNO also provides turn-key laboratory solutions for
textile companies from one source, which include consulting, layout conception, installation, technical
training and after-sales services.

In 2004 TEXTECHNO has taken over LENZING INSTRUMENTS in Lenzing, Austria.

LENZING INSTRUMENTS was founded in 1965 and started its business with the production of
tensile- and linear density testing equipment for staple fibres. In the following years a wide range of
quality testing instruments for staple fibres and filament yarns have been developed. A new field of
activity is the online measurement (OLM) for the production of filament yarns, staple fibres and nonwovens.

Both companies, TEXTECHNO and LENZING INSTRUMETS, welcome you in the German pavilion of
the ITMEX 2009 at the Anhembi fairgrounds, São Paulo, Brazil.
