Abstract: A method for detecting the structure of a textile multi-filament product and a method for processing a textile multi-filament product includes detecting the structure. In the method for detecting the structure of the textile multi-filament product, a fed multi-filament product is optically detected in a linear/sectioned manner in a detecting direction different than the feeding direction in order to obtain primary detection data. The detection data are evaluated and a parameter and/or a change thereto describing the structure of the multi-filament product is derived therefrom. The parameter or the change thereto is used in the processing method to control a pre-processing step or a processing step.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the continuous production of laid staple fibre fabrics with aligned fibre orientation, in which method the laid fabrics are produced by continuous plaiting down of carded fibre web at defined laying angles onto a synchronized transport belt (1), wherein the carding machine (2) and plaiting means (3) arranged downstream of it are arranged at an acute angle with respect to the advancing direction of the transport belt. Said laid staple fibre fabrics are used for producing high-strength fibre-reinforced plastic composites, as are used in wind power plants, aircraft construction and the automotive industry. In particular in the loading direction, said composites have high composite strengths and rigidities, to which end a defined fibre orientation is required. In addition to a defined orientation of the finite fibres, the laid fabrics also have a defined mass per unit area.
