Non-Stop Innovation in Quality Management

Why the tenth birthday of the USTER® QUANTUM 3 yarn clearer is worth celebrating? Ten years ago, it seemed like a ground-breaking innovation in yarn clearing technology. But that was only the start, and USTER’s ambitions for its world-leading QUANTUM 3 series have never stopped growing. Spinners have been presented with a whole series of impressive developments – each one a big step in expanding the possibilities, from quality control at winding to ‘smart’ clearing, contamination control, mill optimization and even preventing faults from occurring at source. “USTER® QUANTUM 3 featuring Smart Clearing Technology” was the headline in 2010 when USTER launched its third generation of yarn clearers. “It was an exciting time for me, introducing the first yarn clearer with automatic clearin

Quality Counts – At Every Level of The Market

Fairs, Genel, Spinning - Yarn

USTER offers multiple resources for understanding quality management from fiber to fabric. In textiles, the two extremes of the market are poles apart – from mass-produced commodity products to ‘big-brand’ specialties where only the highest standards of material and styling apply. In between these opposites, of course, there are many layers of complexity. What all these dimensions have in common is clear: a need for consistent quality from yarn and fabric producers. Today’s challenging market environment means quality is a sustainable competitive advantage, and Uster Technologies is the unique source of the know-how and systems needed to deliver it. CEO Thomas Nasiou explains: “USTER has become a synonym for quality in textiles during the past seven decades. That is not just because

USTER® SENTINEL is The Key to Optimized Yarn Production

Spinning - Yarn

With real-time performance information, USTER® SENTINEL offers mills the data to raise yarn production efficiency to the next level. Even with good human eyesight capable of reaching 5,000 meters, it’s still not possible to have a total overview of end-breaks along the full extent of the frame. Only an automated system can monitor if the spindles are all operating correctly. Since normal walking pace is about 4,000 meters per hour, an operative would typically need about one minute to arrive at an end-break at the last spindle on the frame. So, the spindle could be easily back in action again within two minutes – assuming, of course, that the operative knows exactly where to go… Ring spinning optimization It’s a fact that high-performance potential and enormous ring-spinning ma

Comprehensive Control and Economic Benefits

Fibers, Spinning - Yarn

USTER® ring spinning optimization system now offers much more than end-break detection. USTER® SENTINEL is much more than an end-break detection system. It is a comprehensive solution for ring spinning optimization, with benefits in quality, productivity and efficiency. Data can now be integrated with the Total Testing Center through USTER® TESTER 6, giving spinners an overview of quality through all process steps in the mill, for focused control of production management. Adding USTER® ROVING STOP enhances the economic advantages still further, reducing waste by stopping the roving feed immediately an end-break is detected. USTER® SENTINEL with USTER® ROVING STOP is exhibited for the first time at ITMA Asia + CITME 2018. USTER® SENTINEL’s bobbin build-up report is the key to optimize
