OptiSpin
On-line quality control on ring spinning frames
With O S , Barco offers a sensor for each individual ring spindle, allowing
pti pin
accurate recording of the spindle speed and real-time detection of yarn break-
ages. The stops are always assigned to the correct spindle, regardless of the
length of the machine.
Interfaces are available to the speed inverter of the ring frame, allowing to
increase the speed in case the ends down level remains below a defi ned
threshold. As a result, an optimum and consistent quality level is achieved at
maximum effi ciency.
All sensors are connected to a PC-based central unit. All information concern-
ing production, effi ciency, ends down and slipping spindles is available on
the display or can be printed out on an external printer. Connected to Barco's
S M production management system, data from all machines is central-
pin aSter
ized in one data base.
