Accurate package density, exact in cN Set the required yarn tension for your desired package density centrally at the Informator, exactly in cN. This value is accurately maintained at each winding unit. Autotense FX performs continuous online measurements of the actual yarn tension via a sensor and makes readjustments with the yarn tensioner within split seconds.

No disruptive pattern zones, no limitation of diameter Propack FX avoids critical pattern zones before they develop. The system compares the speeds of the drum and package online and simulates a variation in diameter in the critical phases. Thus, it produces packages without pattern zones and with excellent dye and unwinding behaviour. Limitations of diameter due to critical pattern zones are a thing of the past.

Minimum length deviation Straight flanks even with large formats for elastic materials

Straight anks when using elastic yarn With Variopack FX, you can wind elastic yarn on cross wound packages with large diameters and more kilograms of yarn. An economic advantage in downstream processing. Variopack FX prevents the package flanks from bulging when processing elastic yarns. The intelligent software controls yarn tension and contact pressure with reference to the diameter so that onesided compression forces cannot develop, which would cause the flanks to bulge out when the diameter increases.

Exact run lengths through precision measurement With the contactfree optical length measurement Ecopack FX you are able to produce packages with the exact length ordered by your customer and thus supply the quality that supports his downstream processing in an optimum way. And this for every package delivered because length deviations are clearly below 1 percent. No other package winding technology on the market can offer this quality feature.

Yarn quality that pays

Straight yarn path

Stateoftheart waxing

Perfect yarn quality through straight yarn path The optimised straight yarn path saves the yarn and secures the full functionality of all units at any time. The most important modules clearer, Ecopack FX, Autotense FX and waxing unit are mounted on a component carrier and thus are always positioned optimally in the yarn path. The sequence of the units is designed for highest process reliability, thus the splicer is positioned below the clearer for an automatic splice test and the waxing unit is located above the clearer in order to avoid soiling of the clearer optics by wax particles.

Ideal wax application for any knitting yarn With the Autoconer X5, wax application can be optimally adapted to any yarn without hardware exchange simply by turning the setting wheel on the waxing unit and by means of the specific central adaptation of the yarn tension with Autotense FX. Due to yarn traverse, speed variation, and change of the direction of rotation of the wax roll, yarn twist is no longer important: with uniform wax application both for Stwisted and Ztwisted yarns. It is simple to change to winding without wax application by selecting the OFF mode and fitting a cover. Integrated sensor monitoring of the wax roll ensures that no unwaxed yarn is wound onto the package. Your staff is early warned when the wax roll must be replaced.

Flexsplicer standard (basic principle)

Flexsplicer compact Cut with smaller shears distance

Elastosplicer Cut with larger shears distance Braking of yarn ends during withdrawal

Variable in modular system: the splicer range of the Autoconer X5 is based upon the pneumatic basic principle

The spliced joint makes the difference The excellent spliced joints of the Autoconer X5 optimally withstand the high cyclic loads in warping and weaving and win over by their first-class appearance.

Variable in modular system With the Autoconer X5 you optimise your splicing process for any application and yarn structure. The splicer range is based upon the pneumatic basic principle. The flex splicer can be modified into a compact splicer, elastosplicer, thermosplicer, or injection splicer with only a few steps and additional components. Your staff do not need any new han dling or process skills for doing this thus your high quality is always guaranteed.

18 Autoconer X5

Reproducible splicing quality

In-house competence

Highest quality visible to anyone The desired splicing parameters are entered centrally on the Informator, even for the feeder. With the new Quick-Change unit it is simpler, safer, and quicker to exchange your preassembled splicing components. Calibration of the feeder per winding unit is dropped. The result: you optimise the appearance and strength of your spliced joints which can be reproduced at any time with just a few clicks and obtain a uniform quality in an unprecedented and more economic way.

Combined splicing know-how available on call Oerlikon Schlafhorst is the leading expert in know-how and innovator in the field of state-of-the-art splicing technology. Comprehensive process competence can only be found here! Splicing technology is developed, tested, and adjusted here under one roof. This know-how can not only be found in our technologies, this know-how is also made available to you by our service team at any time. Thus you can be sure that you belong to the best in terms of splicing technology with the Autoconer X5.

All-round protection for your quality

Automatic quality assurance

Quality Guard Sensor

Quality Cut: safe in case of power failure In case of a power failure, Quality Cut prevents that uncleared yarn is wound on your package and avoids pressedin yarn ends and runout patterns. Combined length/diameter monitoring You wind to length? Then your Autoconer X5 monitors whether the package diameter is right. Vice versa, it monitors the right length when you are winding to diameter. Efficient pattern minimisation The electronic standard antipatterning actively counteracts the formation of pattern zones.

Safe run up, permanent monitoring The winding head control system guarantees a gentle and gradual acceleration of the winding units during run up. The smooth startup can be adapted to different yarn qualities. The standard drum lap detector ensures an early detection of drum laps. The optional optical Quality Guard sensor automatically stops the winding unit in case of tension breaks before a drum lap can develop.

20 Autoconer X5

Reproducibility

Central data management

Central setting, constant package quality With the Autoconer X5, you produce quality packages which are as like as two peas in a pod. The central settings minimise setting errors and exclude incaccuracies. From the Informator, the production of every single quality package is monitored. Save your lot specifications in the Informator or use the USB interface or a USB flash drive to ensure the highest possible reproducibility at any time.

Linked quality and production management With the Plant Operation Centre (POC), you are always up to date about the staff assignment and efficiency that your plant is just working with. Your Oerlikon Schlafhorst product lines are linked via a plant network with a central POC computer. All production and quality data are recorded online and are available at a mouse click as shift or production reports. The detailed and edited information optimises your operational sequences and thus increases your companys economic success.

Short cycle sequences

Increased productivity through intelligent control Short cycle times are the hallmark of the Autoconer X5. Noninteracting movements increase the cycle efficiency and thus the overall productivity of every single winding unit. Inflexible mechanical sequences were replaced by a logical software control and singlemotor drives. Thus suction arm, splicer, and gripper arm now function entirely independently of one another. The yarn joining process, for example, is not started until upper and lower yarn are threaded if one of them is missing, the yarn joining process is not executed. Thus the Autoconer X5 executes the really necessary work ing steps only.

Quick upper yarn pick-up, high efficiency Upper yarn pickup, too, is a prime example for efficiency. The suction arm distance is set centrally on the Informator for your yarn. The yarn is safely picked up through the step bystep approach of the suction arm to the package surface, thus the number of unproductive repeat cycles is clearly reduced.

Autoconer X5 23

FX modules: packaged productivity advantages for downstream processing

Autoconer X5 hard packages

Autoconer X5 dye packages

Perfect unwinding behaviour with any diameter Already with the drum winding system of the Autoconer X5 you produce packages with large diameters, which guaran tee the best possible unwinding stability with high takeup speeds and thus process reliability. The production in warp ing and weaving mill can be optimised: due to less frequent package changes. Another plus with Ecopack FX: there is less yarn waste due to very low length deviations. With PreciFX, you design your packages in a variety of indi vidual formats. Density, weight, and unwinding reliability of the hard packages are considerably increased.

Optimum processes in the dyeing mill With the Autoconer X5 drum winding system and with the FX technologies it is possible to obtain a package struc ture which allows highly efficient working in the dyeing mill: patternfree packages without bulging flanks which excel by a defined package density precise in cN. PreciFX offers additional benefits: absolute freedom of pat terns and individual displacement widths further increase the dyeing efficiency. Often edging, mounting and dismounting a protective web and rewinding after dyeing are no longer necessary. Edges and flanks are simply designed according to the specifications. Choose between patternfree random wind, precision and step precision winding.

Intuitive operating concept because time is precious

Informator

Winding unit and doffer display

Operating technology that leads to success The Informator of the Autoconer X5 supports and instructs your operatives and is a helpful assistant in controlling your package production quickly and securely. Unproductive me chanical setting procedures and setup times are minimised. The logical structure of the Informator with illustrations, sym bols, and input masks guides through the settings step by step, in different languages. There are practical tips stored in the Informator for any input mask. Illustrated error messages guide your staff purposefully and quickly to the solution and gear the Autoconer X5 to the highest possible efficiency.

Quick elimination of faults, more production If a malfunction occurs, the displays on the winding unit, the doffer or the processing centre (type D, V) signal the source of the fault to your operatives immediately using clear symbols, pictograms and number codes. Thus your staff is promptly informed about which error occurred at which position and can eliminate it quickly. The economic benefit: shorter moving times, less downtimes through trouble shooting and thus more production, at every winding unit.

Autoconer X5 25

Be quicker an advantage that always pays

Process control

QuickChange Unit

Transfer winding parameters via USB flash drive

Reduce set-up times, production in the focus With the Autoconer X5 archive of article data you reduce your setup times to a minimum. All lot data, machine para meters, and winding parameters for up to 30 lots are stored in the Informator, can be called up at any time, and can be transferred via USB flash drive to all other Autoconer X5 machines. Your advantage: immediate access, quick setup, qualityassured production. In combination with the Plant Operation Centre (POC), your production is always in the focus, process sequences can be designed efficiently.

Quick quality assurance when exchanging splicing components In the Autoconer X5, you combine prism, opening tube and front plate of your choice with the distribution block to a QuickChange Unit. With immediate effect, you exchange this unit completely in one piece, if necessary. Single adjust ments are no longer required. Thus confusion and loss of small parts is avoided, you save assembly time and exclude assembly and setting faults, minimise the wear of the splicing components. And as all parts are optimally adapted to each other, you additionally benefit from an optimised splicing result.

Simple maintenance

Monitoring the workow means greater security for your production On the Autoconer X5, you can monitor and access assemblies and individual components more easily. The open design of the lower part of the machine in particular is impressive, with nothing hidden behind covers. The causes of faults are detected and rectified more quickly. Via intelligent displays on winding unit, doffer and processing centre (type D,V) the Autoconer X5 indicates whether and where it needs the support of your staff.

Maintenance: as quickly as possible We reduce the maintenance outlay for you considerably with the success formula fewer components, greater reliability. Via an interface, the mobile diagnostic device reads all required data within only a few seconds. The winding units themselves can be opened with only a few simple movements, all important parts are visible at one single glance. Together with the compact modules, the Autoconer X5 guarantees smooth processes and a long term dependability of the technological features.

Yarn clearing: as automated as economic The more efficiently yarn faults are cleared, the more efficiently valuable raw materials are utilised. The Autoconer X5 works with stateoftheart clearer technology, which is comfort ably controlled on the Informator. Its sensormonitored fault elimination by suction reliably removes any yarn fault that is critical for your customers individual downstream process ing. By means of graphically represented clearer curves you quickly find your formula for highest economic efficiency with exactly defined quality.

Less upper yarn waste The upper yarn sensor detects the yarn in fractions of a second, thus conserving valuable yarn during the cycle sequence. It ensures a short yarn searching time and a short yarn length to be removed by suction as well as accurate fault clearing in conjunction with the electronic clearer. Here, the suction arm cycle is reduced to the minimum. Your advantages: less upper yarn waste, higher productivity and lower energy consumption.

Less yarn waste n the warping creel

Reduce safety yarn lengths

Maximum yarn yield With the Ecopack FX option for optical precision length measuring, you get the most from your yarn resources. The more precise the measured yarn length of a package, the more economical the downstream processing. Every superfluous metre of yarn on the package can cause sev eral hundred metres of yarn waste in warping, for exam ple. At the same time you increase your productivity, for only the amount of yarn required is wound on the pack age. With Ecopack FX, length deviations of less than 1% are your new standard for economy.

Less lower yarn waste The lower yarn waste is likewise reduced further by the optimized cycle. If the winding process is interrupted, the loop preventer is placed directly onto the bobbin tip and effectively prevents unobstructed suction of the lower yarn into the gripper arm.

Negative Pressure

Less energy, more income The Autoconer X5 gets by on very little energy per kilogram of yarn, which is ensured by the intelligent, sensormoni tored suction system. Via its negative pressure regulation, it always provides as much constant negative pressure as is needed, independent of the filling level of the collecting chambers for dirt, fibres, and yarn, of the machine length and of the number of cycling winding units.

Save air consumption The Autoconer X5 also saves on air consumption. Its open design facilitates the entire cleaning work. The travelling cleaner and bobbin dust removal system can operate more effectively and conserve air. During the piecing cycle, the suction tube and gripper arm automatically consume less air, as they can be closed more quickly due to the shortened cycles.

X-Change: high-speed doffer with a memory

Higher productivity

Flexible multi-tube management

Nearly doubled performance With the new package doffer X-Change you reduce doff ing times and manual interventions for package handling to the absolute minimum. X-Change handles all common tube formats very swiftly and independently: its travelling speed is a rapid 43 m/min, it just needs 10 seconds for a doff. Thus the package doffer X-Change accomplished twice as much work compared to its predecessor.

Central setting for all tube shapes X-Change flexibly adjusts itself to different tube formats, with 25 96 mm diameter, tapered or cylindrical. During its first application, the X-Change learns shape and structure of the tube and how to pick it up best. These data are saved in the Informator, so that the X-Change can be adapted to a different tube format quickly and centrally, at any time. Thus you minimise set-up times and produce more.

Fully automated, quicker lot changes In case of lot changes with XChange, manual start of wind ing is no longer required. Once the machine is supplied with bobbins, XChange immediately commences winding on the empty tube since the yarn is automatically presented to it from the bobbin by the gripper arm and suction tube. The Autoconer X5 returns to production quicker than ever. Empty tube strategy: winding, not waiting Clever automation for the empty tube supply, too: If the tube magazine of a winding unit is empty, the XChange automati cally fetches an empty tube from a neighbouring magazine and executes the doff. The winding unit does not have to wait until the magazine is refilled.

Efficient removal, increased production The conveyor belt combines efficiency and quality assur ance. The sensible crosswound packages are saved by a smooth startup. The conveyor belt transports the finished packages to the machine end, where the operators can remove them in an ergonomic and timesaving way. A superior transport system with robot, overhead conveyor or lifter can be directly connected as an option. Finished packages are stored in the optional intermediate storage, e.g. when the conveyor belt is just being emptied, for separating different lots, or for extending the manual removal intervals.
