Yarn stop motion
The WeftMaster® FWL is a versatile sensor designed for yarn, thread, and tape processing machines. It continuously monitors the movement of the thread and detects any disruptions such as yarn loss, breakage, or the end of the yarn, triggering an immediate reaction from the machine.
Features
For yarn, thread, and tape processing machines
- Its flexibility allows it to be mounted in various ways and directions, making it suitable for machines with limited space or difficult conditions.
- The sensor covers a wide spectrum, reliably detecting and monitoring a diverse range of yarns, from fine threads to coarse tapes like synthetic rattan and carbon tapes.
Accepts all yarn applications
The scope of application of FWL is extremely wide. Finest yarns up to coarse tapes (for example synthetic rattan and carbon tapes) are reliably monitored. The monitoring of the weft insertion is performed on the overall fabric width and even works for different weft yarns.
Minimal thread tension
The weft yarn moves over the sensing device without additional tension and with only little deviation. The sensing device has a flat surface, which makes it ideal for monitoring tape threads.
Fast reaction
In case of a missing thread, a signal is sent to the machine, which causes the machine to stop immediately. The WeftMaster FWL detects any type of yarn outages such as yarn loss, yarn breakage or end of the yarn.
