Optical Yarn sensors

Thanks to infrared beam, optical sensors control the presence of the yarn during linear, to-and-fro or ballooning motion.

The « MOS » series are optical sensors devoted to assembling operations on yarns : like covering and twisting, cabling, air texturing, etc…

It is a control of the final yarn in order to detect breaking of one of the ends.

MOS-L

The MOS-L is a non-contact yarn break opto-electronic sensor.

MAIN FUNCTION: To control the presence of yarns while linear motion.
When the yarn breaks or stops, the sensor will give the information to the machine. It can activate a yarn
cutter or stop the position.

PRINCIPLE: The MOS-LT probe will check the tension variations produced by motion of the yarn inside the
IR light beam. When MOS-LT is mounted on a plate, it is insensitive to external light interference.

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: The MOS-LT is protected against reversed polarity and high level overload on
output. It shows a good level of EMC, electromagnetic compatibility : >2 kV.

CARACTERISTICS : Zamak alloy shell, Tactile inhibition switch, 20 to 29V power supply, IP67

MOS-LT

The MOS-LT is a non-contact yarn break opto-electronic sensor.

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: The MOS-LT is protected against reversed polarity and high level overload on
output. It shows a good level of EMC, electromagnetic compatibility : >1 kV.

CARACTERISTICS : Oil resistant plastic shell, Visual LED alarm, 20 to 29V power supply, IP67

MOS-LC

The MOS-LC is a non-contact yarn break opto-electronic sensor.

Main function: To control the presence of yarns while to-and-fro or ballooning motion.

When the yarn breaks or stops, the sensor will indicate a default situation and give the information to the machine or to the operator by the means of a LED. It can activate a yarn cutter or stop the position.

Principle: As the thread passes through an infra red beam, the variations are processed by the electronic circuits of the MOS-LC.

Electrical protection: MOS-LC protection against reversed polarity and high level overload on output.

It shows a high level of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

MOS-E

The MOS-E is a non-contact yarn break opto-electronic sensor.
MAIN FUNCTION: To control the presence of yarns while linear, to-and-fro or ballooning motion. (When linear motion, there should have a sufficient vibration of the yarn). When the yarn breaks or stops, the sensor will indicate a default situation and give the information to the machine or to the operator by the means of a LED. It can activate a yarn cutter or stop the position giving a 15V signal to an automate.
PRINCIPLE: The MOS-E probe will check the tension variations produced by motion of the yarn inside the IR light beam. The MOS-E is insensitive to external light interference. Minimum yarn size detected : 0,02mm.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: The MOS-E is protected against reversed polarity and high level overload on output. It shows a high level of EMC, electromagnetic compatibility : >1 kV.

MOS-C

The MOS-C is a non-contact yarn break opto-electronic sensor.
MAIN FUNCTION: To control the presence of yarns while to-and-fro or ballooning motion. When the yarn breaks or stops, the sensor will indicate a default situation and give the information to the machine or to the operator by the means of a LED. It can activate a yarn cutter or stop the position.
PRINCIPLE: As the thread passes through an infra red beam, the variations are processed by the electronic circuits of the MOS-C.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: MOS-C protection against reversed polarity and high level overload on output. It shows a very high level of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

MOS-E FDV

The MOS-E FDV is a non-contact yarn break opto-electronic sensor.
MAIN FUNCTION: To control the presence of yarns for to-and-fro or ballooning motion. When the yarn breaks or stops, the sensor will indicate a default situation and give the information to the machine or to the operator by the means of a LED. It can activate a yarn cutter or stop the position through its PNP output.
PRINCIPLE: The MOS-E FDV probe will check the tension variations produced by motion of the yarn inside the IR light beam. The MOS-E FDV is insensitive to external light interference. Minimum yarn size detected : 0,1mm.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: The MOS-E FDV is protected against reversed polarity and high level overload
on output. It shows a high level of EMC, electromagnetic compatibility : >1 kV.
