  • Page 7: Chapter 1 - Overview

    Overview 1 - OVERVIEW System Components The WINDINGFEEDER devices can be programmed and used either in individual and autonomous way, or they can be connected to a control/programming SMART MATRIX FEEDER terminal, thus obtaining a complete system providing further levels of analysis, adjustment, control and speed-up of production cycles, as well as statistical data processing, particularly useful to reach the quality and saving goals stated in the Introduction of this manual.
  • Page 8 1 second (i.e. the time needed to complete the data transfer). User friendly installation and management The WINDINGFEEDER is quite compact (290 x 86 x 94 mm). This permits you to install several devices on the same machine with limited encumbrances. The device has been designed bearing in mind not only the technological aspects, but also the ergonomic ones.
  • Page 9: Advantages Obtained By Using The Windingfeeder Devices

    Possibility of using the yarn up to the complete package emptying. Better machine efficiency. Possibility of finding the best application conditions of WINDINGFEEDER device: (No of coils to be wound around the roller, ideal programming values for parameters etc), thanks to the continuous visualization, in graphic form, of both average and peak values of yarn tension.
