Title: Herbert Henze: Innovator in Yarn Detection Technologies
Introduction
Herbert Henze is a notable inventor based in Mönchengladbach, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of textile technology, particularly in the detection of impurities in yarn. With a total of 7 patents to his name, Henze's work has enhanced the efficiency and quality of textile production processes.
Latest Patents
Henze's latest patents include a "Method and device for the optical detection of foreign fibers and other impurities in a longitudinally traveling yarn." This invention allows for the detection of yarn impurities by obtaining a diameter-dependent signal during the first measurement of a linearly traveling yarn. The intensity of light for a second measurement is adjusted based on the first signal, compensating for the yarn diameter's effect on the reflected light. This innovation significantly improves the detection of impurities in spinning and bobbin winding machines.
Another notable patent is the "Method and device for detecting foreign matter in longitudinally traveling yarn." In this invention, light is directed onto the yarn, and the reflected light is detected by a sensor. The signals generated are then evaluated against predetermined criteria to distinguish between tolerable and non-tolerable foreign matter. This method enhances the production efficiency of textile machines and improves the uniformity and stability of the yarn.
Career Highlights
Throughout his career, Henze has worked with prominent companies in the textile industry, including W. Schlafhorst AG & Company and Saurer Spinning Solutions GmbH & Co. KG. His experience in these organizations has allowed him to develop and refine his innovative technologies.
