Setting Overview: SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 8

NSLT Settings  Setting points are introduced to plot the clearing curve. Maximum 16 points are available for NSL
curve and 8 points for Thin curve. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 9

NSLT Point Selection  The selected point will be highlighted in Blue colour. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 10

Point Selection  The Next point can be selected by pressing the highlighted arrow. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 11

Point Selection  Selected point can be adjusted with the help of navigation arrows or entering the setting values. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 12

Setting Points  The new point can be added to desired clearing area with the help of multi-touch. Green curve displays curve
setting before change, red curve is new setting. Both are visible until confirmation of setting change. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 13

Setting Points  Numerical values of all setting points can be seen on a single page by pressing this button. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 14

Brain Mode  On choosing “Brain” mode, the system will suggest a clearing setting based on the yarn quality. This function
is available after first 100km of yarn within the group is wound, and it is considered as intelligent tool for fine tuning. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 15

Brain Mode  The brainy curve will be plotted in Red colour. Users can change sensitivity on slide-bar bellow
matrix, and edit manually each point before assigning it to an Article. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 16

Scatter Plot  Fault distribution can be seen in the scatter plot for further optimization of settings. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 17

Cluster  Periodical and non-periodical faults can be detected in cluster channels. User needs to define the clearing limits.
Pink – Nep Cluster, Light red – Short Cluster, Green – Long Cluster, Yellow – Thin Cluster. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 18

Cluster  After defining the clearing limit, Obs. Length and No. of faults can be set accordingly. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 19

Nep Cluster  This kind of periodical nep faults can be detected in Nep cluster. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 20

Short Cluster  These kind of periodical faults can be detected in short cluster. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 21

Count channel  The clearing curve can be plotted with setting points. The total clearing length is 50 m. Classification
is introduced for easy optimization of settings and to check the quality of the running material. This shows the count SPINNING SOLUTIONS
variation within the bobbin.

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 22

Core Channel  Detection of missing and Off-Center core can be done with separate channels based on Off-Count
measurement. Missing core is detected as negative Count deviation detected in purple field, which size and position depends on SPINNING SOLUTIONS
Core count, draft, sensitivity setting and observation length by numerical input.

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 23

SFI / D – The clearing curve can be plotted with setting points. The total clearing length is 80 m. Classification is
introduced for easy optimization of settings and to check the quality of the running material. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 24

BBD  Wrong count and colour variation after bobbin change will be detected in BBD channel and will be rejected
immediately. BBD is active only after bobbin change for defined length and deviation. Bad bobbins are accounted separately. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

RGB Foreign Matter Clearing

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 26

 SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Advantages of new powerful RGB Foreign Fiber Sensor

• Improved detection of very light color contamination

• Distinguish colored Foreign Fiber from Organic matter
• Dedicated clearing and classification of Foreign Fiber and Organic matter
• Improved detection of periodical Foreign Matter faults (F Cluster)
• Additional classes for I, R, O classes. Those are classified as I0, R0 and O0.
• Reduced Foreign Matter cuts due to intelligent Organic Matter channel

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 27

F Configuration  There are two curves. Red – FF Dark, Brown - Organic SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 28

F Type  Foreign Matter and Organic can be switched.
SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 29

Foreign Matter  Dark and Bright faults are classified in Foreign Matter. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 30

FF Organic  Organic faults like seed coats and Jute are classified in Organic. Organic faults classified between F
Dark curve and Organic are not cleared. This will reduce the total number of FF Cuts. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 31

FF Organic  Total F cuts can be reduced by optimizing the Organic channel. Total number of allowed Organic faults can be
seen in class data. This is ‘Saved’ F cuts. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Monitoring and Classification Data

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 94

Monitoring Data  These data’s are similar to the ZENIT+. Here, SFI cuts are classified as SFI/D and Short SFI/D .
Faults detected with 10 m are accounted in Short SFI/D and faults detected above 10m are accounted in SFI/D. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 95

Quality Overview Data  These data are similar to the ZENIT+, where you can see actual performance of each
group or spindle and their NSLT, Splice Foreign mater and Polypropylene clearing matrixes. By touching any of matrix SPINNING SOLUTIONS
you enlarge it and open detail view. Also, LabPack IPI and SFI data are visible on this page.

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 96

Class Data  Prisma having 207 classes. All the faults are well classified with in the classification area. No faults are
classified out of classification. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 97

Splice Class Data  Same number of classes are added for splice class as well. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 98

FF Class  Prisma having 74 No. of FF classes for each Dark and Bright. Additional classes are added for I, R and O
classes. Those classes are classified as I0, R0 and O0. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 99

Count Channel  Count channel classification is available in Article settings. Faults classified with in 10m are classified as
Short off count cuts and above 10 m cuts are Off count cuts. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

also detected color tone of yarn fault is shown. SPINNING SOLUTIONS

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 103

Test Mode  Under Service/Diagnostics/Test mode you can find function which stops spindle in case of any kind of
cut which you specify for inspection. On screenshot bellow is for example set inspection of NSL Splice cuts, and Short SPINNING SOLUTIONS
cut of class B1.1 and B1.3, as well as Foreign fibers class I1.4 and R1.2.

Company presentation - 27 January 2022 104

Test Mode Then just select spindle range and timeout. After confirmation, selected spindles will be running in Test mode, SPINNING SOLUTIONS
and will be blocked for inspection after every selected type of cut, while on TK Display will be blinking alternatively yarn fault
classification, and approximate length of fault from the end of yarn in meters(usually around 0.4). Bellow on Spindle number
bar, you can recognize which spindles are in Test mode by underline. Also, note there is set timeout, when test mode gets
automatically deactivated.
