EYE - Yarn break detection system for Tufting.

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Eltex EYE is a sophisticated system designed for yarn fault detection in tufting machines, aimed at enhancing quality and efficiency by minimizing mending and downtime. It employs Compact yarn sensors, typically installed between feed rollers and needles, to detect 100% of tufting yarn breaks and end outs using the piezoelectric principle.

Specifications
- The system is capable of detecting 100% of yarn breaks and end outs.
- Compact design allows installation on machines with a gauge as dense as 1/10th of an inch per side.
- Compact II sensors are recommended for machines with limited space.

Features
- Faulty yarn is specifically identified, increasing uptime.
- Real-time logging of events for statistics and diagnostics.
- Networkable to a central database with automatic addressing of system parts.
- Easy system configuration changes.

Components
Master Control Unit: Communicates with sensors and operator terminal, processes data, and signals yarn faults.
Operator Terminal: Features a user-friendly touch screen interface displaying yarn operation and fault positions.

Advantages
- Fast learning of sensor positions without ON/OFF switches.
- Simple modular connector cables.
- Robust metal housing for sensors.
- Adjustable sensor parameters for different yarn groups.
- Compatible with Ethernet, CAN Bus, or Modbus for OEM interface.
- Information displayable on a large screen.

EYE - Yarn break detection system for Tufting.-1

Eltex Yarn Expert Yarn fault detection for tufting machines Yarn fault detection for tufting machines The Eltex EYE is a flexible system designed for yarn fault detection on tufting machines. It is designed to improve quality and efficiency by reducing mending and down time. EYE for tufting uses the Compact yarn sensors. The sensors are normally fitted between the feed rollers and the needles. 100% of Tufting Yarn Breaks / End Outs are detected. The sensors use the well proven piezoelectric principle. The special compact design enables the sensors to be fitted on machines with a gauge as dense as 1/10th of an inch per side. On machines with limited space, due to puller rollers above the needles, the Compact II sensor is recommended. 100% of Tufting Yarn Breaks / End Outs detected
