New yarn fault detection system for tufting machines

摘要

Beta testing of the latest advanced version of the Eye yarn fault detection system for tufting machines by Eltex of Sweden AB, Osby/ Sweden, is currently underway at the plant of a major high-end carpet manufacturer in the USA. Such companies typically manufacture very expensive carpets made in a myriad of patterns and if faults are allowed to occur they can be very expensive to mend. The latest advanced tufting machines put significant limitations on the space that is available for yarn fault detection systems, and the Eltex Eye is very comprehensive, with each yarn individually controlled for a 100 % detection of every tufting yarn break and end out.
