Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides a comprehensive overview of Eltex's yarn break sensors and yarn tension monitors, designed for use in various textile machines such as warping, winding, tufting, weaving, and sewing. The EYE-system is highlighted for its flexibility and capability to handle machines with varying numbers of yarns, offering real-time monitoring and process statistics.

Specifications and Features
  • EYE System: Designed for yarn break detection and tension monitoring, suitable for machines with a few to thousands of yarns. It includes an operator terminal for setting system parameters and displaying process information.
  • Compact Yarn Sensors: Used in tufting, these sensors detect 100% of yarn breaks and end outs using piezoelectric principles. They are compact enough for dense machine setups.
  • Eltex Yarn Expert (EyETM): Monitors yarn tension in real-time, displaying tension values on a large screen. Alerts are provided for tension values outside the warning level.

Applications
  • Warping and Winding: The EYE system improves the quality of warp beams and yarn packages by monitoring yarn tension.
  • Weaving: Eltex offers piezoelectric and optical weft break sensors for different weaving machines, ensuring optimal performance and fault detection.
  • Sewing: Thread break sensors detect thread movement and stop machines upon thread breaks, maintaining seam quality.

Additional Information
Eltex collaborates closely with OEM customers to develop custom sensors. Their products are robust, dust-resistant, and compatible with various yarn types and counts. The document also provides contact information for Eltex's global offices.

Yarn Break Sensors Yarn Tension Monitors-1

EYE – Eltex Yarn Expert Compact EYE -Yarn fault detection for tufting machines The EYE-system is designed for yarn break detection and yarn tension monitoring on textile machines. It is a flexible system that can be used on machines ranging from a few yarns to thousands. The event logging function makes it possible to view the process statistics and pinpoint the weak points in the process. All system parameters are set on the operator terminal. System status is displayed on the operator terminal and process information can be displayed on a large screen. EYE for tufting uses the Compact Yarn sensors. The Sensors are normally fitted between the feed rollers and the needles. 100% of yarn breaks and end outs are detected. The sensors use the well proven piezoelectric principle. The special compact design enables the sensors to be installed on machines as dense as 1/10” gauge per side. Yarn Break Sensors Yarn Tension Monitors The EYE Operator Terminal and Master Control Unit are used for Warping, Winding and Tufting. “100% detection of Tufting Yarn Breaks and End Outs” Yarn Break Sensors On machines with limited space, due to puller rollers above the needles, the Compact II sensor is recommended. This sensor can also be installed on machines as dense as 1/10” gauge pe

Yarn Break Sensors Yarn Tension Monitors-2

EyETM -Yarn tension monitoring WEAVING World leader of weft break sensors for more than 50 years! Eltex EyETM greatly helps increase the quality of warp beams or yarn packages by monitoring all yarn tension in real time. The result is fewer problems, not only when warping and winding, but also in the next step when weaving or tufting. Eltex piezoelectric weft break sensors are optimized for best performance and designed to fit the requirements of each individual machine type. They sense the weft yarn over the entire fabric width detecting all types of weft faults. The Eltex optical weft break...
