Barco OptiTwist Features And Benefits

OptiTwist
On-line quality control on twisting machines
With OptiTwist, Barco offers a detector for each individual position, allowing
accurate recording of the spindle speed and real time detection of production
stops.
Combination with the recording of the delivery speed allows real time monitor-
ing of the twist level. As such, manual checks on the production floor and lab
tests are eliminated and a constant quality level is guaranteed. OptiTwist guards
each of the individual components being assembled into a single thread. The
breakage of a component is immediately detected.
OptiTwist can be installed on direct cabling machines or on two-for-one twist-
ers. On two-for-one twisters the diameter of the yarn is checked. This allows
detection of knots, slubs, ...
All detectors are connected to a touch screen-based central unit with windows
user interface. All information concerning production, efficiency, ends down and
slipping spindles is available on the display and can be copied to a USB stick.
