Loepfe To Show New Yarn Quality Control Solutions At ITMA

The YARNMAP enables a synchronised measurement of the most relevant yarn properties, like count, evenness, hairiness, and strength. The new management cockpit LabMaster TOP completes the series. It integrates all LabMaster devices into one central data management system. By delivering value-added reports directly on the management’s desk, it is an efficient tool for quality management in the spinning mill.

Loepfe will also present the new yarn clearer generation YarnMasterZENIT+, which utilises state-of-the-art technology, fastest processors, and measuring technology. This extremely reliable product safely detects even the finest yarn irregularities. The new yarn clearers and additional features like nep cluster channel, off-standard bobbin detection, and improved foreign matter detection, enable a 100 per cent online quality control in the spinning mill.

The new online data management system MillMaster TOP, that monitors and analyses the quality data from Loepfe yarn clearers, will also be displayed. The modern software can collect, visualise, and analyse quality data from up to 7,200 spindles in real-time.

For open-end spinning applications, Loepfe will show YarnMaster 3N1. The yarn clearer combines three sensors: an optical sensor for diameter measurement, a F-sensor for detection of foreign matter, and a P-sensor for detection of synthetic foreign matter like polypropylene.

The company will also display the new WeftMaster Falcon-i optical yarn for weaving mill applications. The sensor can detect and eliminate smallest knots, fluff or even filamentation from the weft yarn. It can work with monofilament or multifilament yarns and is insensitive for yarn colour. It is also suitable for high performance yarns such as glass fibre, aramid, carbon, and others. (GK)
