Yarn break sensors for textile industry

The global textile industry

Technology innovation promotes the textile industry evolving towards intelligent direction, including production capacity, production efficiency and

products quality optimization. Textile intelligent trend has been unstoppable.

It has been a long history for the progress of national and international textile machinery equipment and developed with spiraling ever forward. Devices for textile industry market in China is shared by domestic and imported each half. Production costs and raw material advantages make the domestic textile market share more and rapidly expand in control devices. However, due to limitations of product performance and product quality, its market shrinks gradually. With the following mastering of technology and emerging technologies mature, Chinese market enters into the next round of market cycles. In contrast, the United States and Europe with innovative ideas and rigorous spirit, reliable advanced technology stability, make themselves a pioneer in the development of control devices for the automation of the textile industry. They power the world textile industry and continue to touch high-end textile market nerves, which attracted many high-quality companies. Overall, import advantages in performance and quality dominate the emerging markets. But as the progress of technology, imported products without the price advantage in the market will lose its original technical support, and be squeezed. Product innovation keeps proceeding.

Fil Control, a French manufacturer of textile machinery control devices

As a professional French R&D and manufacturer of textile machinery control devices, Fil Control takes the advantage of geography, establishing factory in China. Fil Control integrates the strength of high-tech support and being close to customers. Fil Control devices are widely used in the global textile machinery manufacturing companies. The non-contact optical sensors are widely used in various types of twisting winding machines, twisting machines and texturing machines.

After spinning process is inseparable from yarn break sensors, which play an essential role in spinning process efficiency, saving raw materials, quality control. How to choose a good yarn break sensor? We need take many factors into consideration, including the performance, quality and costs, which need the assistance of automatic sensor facility and acknowledge of market. For choosing optical yarn break sensors applies in various textile machines like winders, twisting machines and texturing machines. Sensors vary in technical parameters. Fil Control analyze and make a research about installation, stability, operation convenience according to clients’ demands and the present production proceed. We visit clients’ factories and text products by one in order to help customers choose the most suitable and most useful products.

Some customers tend to purchase general model sensors of cheap price regardless of specific reference selection and have a test on machines, which result in batch of using problems and quality problems after a short period. So not only complaints of customers, but also the risk of market share shrinking have to be faced with, which requires decision-makers and technology developers a comprehensive analysis of this issue.

First, customers should focus more attention on the protection of the sensor circuit components inside and protection of sensor body than appearance. When the machine run, electromagnetic interference signals can be generated, which need separate sensor circuit components from interference signals. Therefore, how to shield the interfering signal is the key to sensors. Also, some times moisture, oil erosion may also have influence on sensors.

Sometimes sensors are unstable, which means that sensor will be used as usual after dismantling, adjusting and reinstallation. If the sensor is not functioned with automatic sensitivity adjustment, they will be affected on operation by oil, fly and other environment factors, which means that the probe detection doesn’t work well and detection results is unstable. The function of sensitivity adjustment is easy to be overlooked by a lot of users, because many sensor manufacturers don’t want to increase costs for sensitivity technology and some even have no idea about this technology.

The sensor can not work stably in a different light irradiation conditions, particularly in the case of fluorescent of complete shading. The operation failure is caused by the poor resistance to light interference of the sensor transmitter and receiver probe.

How to choose a satisfactory yarn break sensor, many aspects should be considered, such as interface quality, cable configuration, circuit board soldering and so on, which are easily ignored but important for users to find a good sensor.

Equipment optimization and precision, enterprises upgrading and expansion are inseparable from the selection of professional partners.

Fil Control keeps customer interests as priority. We believe our cooperation will lead a new highlight in the textile industry!
