Individual Spindle Monitoring System




Fiber breakage during production is a key factor influencing material and energy consumption as well as labor costs for the Textile departments. In the past, workers must manually inspect each spindle for breakage, a time and labor intensive process that does not deliver efficiency. FEIW installed the individual spindle monitoring system, which locates sensors and stop feed devices by each spindle. The system is able to detect irregularities immediately during yarn feeding and activates warning signal located at the individual spindle and the machine panel. Meanwhile, the yarn feeder is stopped to reduce any waste, thus improving efficiency during production. The system collects data from each machine, conducts energy consumption analysis and then adjusts the strength based on the number of breakages to optimize energy use.
