Herzog catalogue

Reference — The Herzog catalogue in the program: view Herzog machines, bobbins and drums, create them as your own machine or add them to the master data.

What you use this area for

The Herzog catalogue contains the Herzog models: braiding machines, bobbin winding machines, take-up units, pay-off units and creels, plus carrier bobbins with article number as well as drums and reels. You look at a model with its technical details and create it as your own machine with a few clicks — image, pitch and technical data come from the catalogue; you only choose take-up, setup and accessories and enter the machine group, serial number and name. You add bobbins and drums to your master data with one click.

You reach the catalogue via the Catalogue navigation item directly below Machine Fleet. The From Herzog catalogue … buttons in the bobbins and drums open it directly on the matching tab.

Who sees the catalogue

The Herzog catalogue is available from version 2.1.0 in the full version and in the trial version, not in Herzog CAB Designer. To view it, the right View master data is sufficient; to create and add entries you need Edit master data. The web app has the same catalogue — see Herzog catalogue (web app).

Always the current catalogue

With a customer account, Herzog CAB fetches the Herzog catalogue from the licence server — after login and when the catalogue is opened, at most every ten minutes, silently in the background — and stores a copy on the computer. This way you see new Herzog models, bobbins and drums without a program update; when new data arrives, the catalogue page reloads. Without a connection, the most recently fetched copy applies; without a copy (first start offline, dongle installation), the catalogue supplied with the program applies.

The screen at a glance

Herzog catalogue in tile view, Braiding machines tab, with search field, series filter and Tiles/List switch

At the top is the header HERZOG CATALOGUE, below it the toolbar with heading (Select available machines, on the Bobbins tab Carrier bobbins, on the Drums tab Drums and reels), the tabs and the filter row. The rest of the page is filled by the catalogue as tiles or a list.

Element Meaning
Tabs All machines, Braiding machines, Bobbin winding machines, Take-up units, Pay-off units, Creels, Bobbins and Drums, each with the number of entries in brackets. The most recently selected tab is remembered.
Search field For machines Search model, series or equipment — the technical details are also searched, e.g. for a carrier type. For bobbins and drums Search dimensions, material, carrier or article number.
Series Limits the list to one series (Series: all (…), then e.g. Take-up units · AW (…)). For bobbins the filter is called Material, for drums Type.
Tiles / List Tiles with image and key figures or a list with key figures, sortable by column. In the list, the models are shown under a group row per series; a click on the group row expands or collapses it. The choice is remembered.
Hit count To the right, e.g. "12 of 40 machines".
Tile / row A click opens the details of the model.

The catalogue loads the images from the internet; without a connection you see placeholders. If nothing matches the filter, it shows No machine types for this filter.

Details of a machine model

Detail window of the KB 1/12-80 with key figures, technical data, scope of delivery, accessories and take-up options

The detail window bears the name of the model and shows from top to bottom:

Area Content

A missing load capacity is shown as open.

Creating as your own machine

The “Create as own machine” section with setup, machine group, serial number and name in braiding machines

From the catalogue model to your own machine in the master data:

flowchart LR
  A[Click a<br>catalogue model] --> B[Details of<br>the model]
  B --> C[Tick accessories,<br>choose take-up and setup]
  C --> D[Machine group,<br>serial number, name]
  D --> E[Add to …]
  E --> F[Your own machine<br>in the master data]

At the end of the detail window you enter what the catalogue cannot know:

Field Meaning
Setup Only for braiding machines with several setups: Normal setup, Half setup or Tandem setup side by side to click; the first one is preselected.
Machine group Freely assignable grouping (e.g. Produktion Nord).
Serial number Serial number of your machine.
Name in braiding machines The name of your own machine, preset with the catalogue name; if left empty, the catalogue name is also used. For the other machine types the field is called Name in bobbin winding machines, Name in take-up units, Name in pay-off units or Name in creels.
Bobbin Only for braiding machines whose matching catalogue bobbin is not yet in your bobbins (and no bobbin with the same dimensions either): checkbox "Add … to bobbins" with article number and bobbin name, pre-ticked.
Button Effect
Cancel Closes the window without creating anything.
Add to braiding machines Creates the machine immediately — without a further dialog, with technical data and image from the catalogue (for braiding machines also the pitch), the ticked accessories, the selected take-up and the selected setup, and the bobbin if requested. For the other machine types the button is called Add to bobbin winding machines, Add to take-up units, Add to pay-off units or Add to creels. A message confirms the creation, e.g. Machine "…" was added to braiding machines, bobbin "…" to bobbins.

Adding details later

You then change the location, year of construction, dimensions, documents and all technical values in the machine's dialog in the master data — Braiding machines, Bobbin winding machines, Take-up units, Pay-off units or Creels. Accessories and (for braiding machines) the take-up can also be adjusted there.

Bobbins and drums

The Bobbins and Drums tabs contain the Herzog carrier bobbins and drums and reels. A click opens the details:

Area Content
Header Sketch, name, group and — for bobbins — the article number, plus the key figures: bobbin Flange Ø, Winding length, Core Ø, Bobbin volume; drum Outer Ø, Core Ø, Traverse width (for reels Winding length), Volume.
Technical data E.g. Material, For carrier / machine, Pitch (horngear Ø), Machine types, Empty weight (bobbins) or For (drums), Version, Article number.
Accessories If available.
Button Effect
Close Closes the window.
Add to bobbins / Add to drums Adds the entry to your bobbins or drums. If there is already a bobbin with the same dimensions, Herzog CAB asks whether it should still be created as a separate bobbin with article number.

The button stays gray and a note explains why if

  • the entry has already been added (This bobbin is already in your bobbins. or This drum is already in your drums.),
  • it is a reel (The drum database does not handle reels yet.),
  • the article lacks dimensions (Dimensions are missing for this article.).

Catalogue image for existing machines

Machines that you have created yourself also get their image from the catalogue: in the edit dialog of the braiding machines, bobbin winding machines, take-up units, pay-off units and creels, the Use catalogue image button appears next to Upload image — as long as the machine has no image of its own and its Machine type matches a catalogue model. For the same reason, these dialogs offer the accessory suggestions of the catalogue model and, for braiding machines, its take-ups.
