MFS - Multi Function Sensor

In Brief

MFS determines some of the most decisive characteristics of a filament simultaneously, using only one sensor for each thread line.

Features

• Real time monitoring of:
  • spin finish
  • interlace
  • denier
  • evenness
  • thin and thick places
  • broken filament
  • yarn breaks and yarn defects
• Developed in cooperation with PACE/USA

In Detail

• Measuring principle:
  • Non contact optical technology for determination of interlace, denier, evenness, broken filaments, yarn breaks and yarn defects employing line scan camera technology with 32 bit DSP.
  • Conductive for determination of spin finish
• Measuring ranges:
  • Spin finish: 0.10 - 2% FOY (depends on conductivity of spin finish), resolution < 0.05 %
  • Interlace: 0 to 300 nodes/meter, resolution 0.1 node/meter
  • Denier: 10 to 8,000 denier
  • Yarn break detection 10 to 10,000 denier
  • Yarn defects: slubs, drips, thin spots with > 5 % variation
    broken filaments with min. 1 denier
  • Diameter: 10 to 4,000 microns, resolution < 1 micron
  • Yarn speeds: 60 to 10,000 m/min
• Sampling rates:
  • Spin finish: > 20,000 measurements/sec (20 kHz)
  • Interlace, Denier: 10,000 measurements/sec (10 kHz) ^*)
  • Broken filaments: 10,000 measurements/sec (10 kHz) ^*)
  • Yarn breaks: <10 ms response time (typical)
  • Spin finish pins: ceramic, conductive coated, easy and fast exchangeable
  • *) MFS for monofilaments provides up to 32,500 measurements/sec (32 kHz)
