Eltex of Sweden AB sets focus of its presented products on the sewing industry.

The UPG-Stitch from Eltex is a technical achievement. With its robust zinc metal housing and small size, this little workhorse withstands rough treatment and is easy to fit on the machine. It works in unison with the industrial sewing machine, checking that the thread is moving in stitches and stops the machine when the thread is moving continuously or a thread breaks.

It operates on the piezoelectric principle, allowing it to handle all types of threads while at the same time being insensitive to dust, dirt, and humidity variations.

Eltex ETM, or Eltex Thread Tension Monitor, is the latest development of advanced on-line devices for sewing machines and similar applications. It enables the operator to keep the thread tension within the desired tension range for best operation and quality of the seam.

Communication is done through an RS422 interface to a PLC or similar electronic device.

Among its main features are the newly developed miniature sensor head which allows for better placement on the machine, the programmable measuring ranges with stop filter function and thread break detection.

Eltex Thread Sensor 15965 is the successor of the long-lived Stitch detecting sensor 15960-62. Based on customer demands, this newly developed thread sensor has been upgraded with a new processor and firmware, closed eyelets for better placement possibilities and an industry standard M12 connector.

It operates on the piezoelectric principle, allowing it to handle all types of threads while at the same time being insensitive to dust, dirt, and humidity variations.

Groz-Beckert showcases textile innovation at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025 in Singapore

From October 28 to 31, 2025, the global textile industry will gather at ITMA Asia + CITME at the Singapore Expo, where Groz-Beckert will present its latest highlights and innovations across its six product areas – Knitting, Weaving, Nonwovens, Tufting, Sewing, and Spinning – at Hall 5, Booth B301.

Technical textiles for more and new business

KARL MAYER's composite machines and warp knitting machines with weft insertion produce technical textiles offering an impressive variety of properties and textures. The range of tasks these textiles can perform is as broad as the spectrum of their possible fields of application. Both newcomers with the right textile solution and already established players can trust their business will flourish, as demonstrated by the examples from KARL MAYER's Technical Textiles division at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025. The exhibition at stand A 301 in Hall 5 of the Singapore EXPO focuses on two areas: filtration and construction.
