Fabric Inspection Machine Serkon EH1

Serkon EH1 — Open Width Knitted Fabric Inspection Machine with Air Blowing System 

The Serkon EH1 is designed to review, rewind, and measure all kinds of knitted fabrics, handling the material without tension and using an air blowing system for perfect winding results. UV lighting above the inspection surface, combined with white fluorescent illumination below, gives the operator clear visibility across the full fabric width, helping to identify weave faults, stains, and mechanical defects. As the material passes through the machine, large reels turn with it, and an electronic encoder measures the precise length of fabric reviewed. The Serkon EH1 helps operations inspect fabric thoroughly before cutting — so they waste less, plan better, and deliver more consistent finished products.

What Sets the Serkon EH1 Apart?

• Wide Knitted Fabric Application Range 
  The Serkon EH1 is built for reviewing, rewinding, and length measurement of all kinds of knitted fabrics in both dyed and grey form — across fabric widths from 200 to 240 cm and roll weights up to 330 lbs (150 kg).

• Air Blowing System — Perfect Rolling Without Tension
  The air blowing system keeps the fabric open and flat during rewinding, eliminating the edge curling that knitted fabrics are prone to. This allows to achieve accurate rolling without mechanical tension.

• UV and White Fluorescent Illumination — Enhanced Fault Visibility
  Upper UV lighting and a lower white fluorescent panel illuminate the fabric from both sides during inspection. The UV light assures better visibility of faults beyond what white light alone provides.

• Natural Glass Inspection Surface — Static-Free Operation
  The inspection surface is made of natural glass, preventing static charge buildup during rewinding.

• Helix-Shaped Spiral Reel System — Fabric Straightening Throughout the Run
  Reels with helix-shaped spirals continuously prevent ruffling and rolling during rewinding, keeping the fabric straight and flat throughout the process.

• Electronic Encoder Length Measurement — Precision Tied to Fabric Movement
  Large reels equipped with an electronic encoder turn together with the reviewed fabric, giving precise measurement of fabric length as it passes through the machine.

• Photocell Stop and Edge Alignment for Consistent Roll Quality
  A photocell stops the machine automatically at the end of the fabric. Edge alignment photocells keep the rewound roll edges even.

• Ergonomic Control Layout — All Switches in Front of the Operator
  All control switches are positioned in front of the operator, keeping every adjustment within reach without interrupting the inspection.

How This Improves Your Workflow

• Defects Caught Before They Reach Production
  Weave faults, stains, and mechanical defects are identified before the fabric moves forward — whether to dyeing, finishing, or the cutting room. Defects caught at inspection do not become wasted material downstream.

• Tension-Free Rewinding Across All Knitted Fabric Types
  The air blowing system allows to rewind fabric without tension, eliminating edge curling across all knitted fabric types and achieving accurate rolling.

• Greater Fault Visibility With Combined UV and White Light
  UV and white fluorescent illumination together give the operator better conditions to identify the full range of fabric faults during inspection, including those that white light alone would not show clearly.

• Reliable Length Measurement on Every Roll
  The encoder measures length by tracking actual fabric movement through the machine, giving reliable length data.
