carding (roving)
Explanation:
Karden is carding, Kardenband is (cotton, in this case) card (or rove). This is from Webster´s Dictionary 1913:
Rove (Rove) n.
...
2. A roll or sliver of wool or cotton drawn out and slighty twisted, preparatory to further process; a roving.

And so is this:
"Rove (?), v. t. [perhaps fr. or akin to reeve.]
...
2. To draw out into falkes; to card, as wool. Jamieson.

Carding is the more current term.

The Vorspinnmaschinen produce the cards, and this process is called "carding". See the references for some nice descriptions.
