It offers information on the company’s range of products for web guiding, web tension control, web monitoring and quality inspection. Individual components, such as sensors and actuators, are described in detail, and Erhardt+Leimer sales staff explain the features and benefits of the different automation and inspection systems in short video sequences.

Dirk Schröder, head of the printing/film/foil sales division at Erhardt+Leimer, will give a live presentation on April 20 at 3.10 pm on the topic of “Providing the basics for an optimized production by means of using networkable systems“. All presentations are listed at events.drupa.de/en/index-en.
