Congratulations for choosing a BTSR product.
With our SMART KNIT yarn control system, you got an innovative, unique
solution, which offer you multiple advantages concerning the quality control of
your production.
SMART KNIT has been designed for applications on medium/large circular
knitting machines.
The system may control up to 120 feeds, each one consisting of 2 to 6 yarns, using
a control algorithm (sequence of feeder movement on each feed) programmable by
the user depending on the working needs. Any anomaly found (yarn broken or
missing, yarn uncut, etc.) with respect to the programmed sequence, is detected by
the system and signaled by means of 2 stop outputs. The system also allows you to
configure 2 different sets of control parameters, associated with two different
machine production speeds (P_Fast and P_Slow); you will then select the set of
parameters more suitable to the application needs, through two input signals
provided by the textile machine (Fast_Ext and Slow_Ext). The selection of
control parameters set may also occur automatically through an internal timing,
related, for instance, to the initial ramp stage and normal rate stage of the machine,
respectively
SMART KNIT, combined with yarn control sensors IS3F-485, represents a
complete and effective machine control system.
This Operation Manual is divided into 4 Chapters
Chapter 1 – Overview describes the main features, components and the operation
principle of the system.
Chapter 2 – Technical Data and Installation gives the necessary instructions to
install the system correctly.
Chapter 3 – Operation gives a detailed description of the necessary operations to
setup and program the system according to the application needs.
Chapter 4 – Troubleshooting and Maintenance provides a quick guide to solving
the main technical faults of the system.
Highlights notes, warnings and subjects to which the attention of the reader
