Uster introduces five new systems at ITMA

The Uster Quantum 3 anniversary edition introduced at ITMA is packed with valuable new and well-established features for optimised yarn quality. The launch marks 50 years of the first yarn clearer for automatic winding. New features now available with the Quantum 3 anniversary edition focus on enhanced spinning efficiency and fabric improvement. Smart Limits for clearing become even smarter, with automatic checks on the effect of splice distribution.

The new features include Core Yarn Clearing, in which unique Uster sensors detect and cut whenever a core component is missing or misaligned. Further important extras are colour and shade variation detection and online hairiness measurement.

Alongside innovations for staple yarn applications, Uster has also introduced a new system specifically for filament yarn. Destined for a central role in the laboratory of every man-made fibre producer, the Uster Tester 6-C800 redefines evenness testing. New sensors are the basis for innovative features providing the most comprehensive quality measurements ever available. Further, Uster's new digital Capacitive Sensor brings increased accuracy and reliability. A unique new twist scan facility extends the test options to make twister settings easier.

Advanced sensor technology with Tester 6-C800 also enables a breakthrough in the measurement of interminglings, an important parameter for filament yarns. The optical Sensor OM counts interminglings per meter at a testing speed of 800 m/min. The resulting data can be used to prevent variations in fabric appearance. The system also incorporates expert knowledge, accessible at a mouse-click, for rapid fault tracing when quality problems occur on the spinning machine. (RKS)
