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

Lancets – A Longstanding Device Now Perfected

Weaving

Lancets, or gauges, are thin metal strips used on face-to-face carpet weaving looms to ensure constant pile height. Before they were introduced on face-to-face looms they had been used on loop-pile looms (Brussels carpets). On loop-pile looms, pile loops are formed over a dummy weft resting on the lancet. Usually the dummy weft is removed afterwards. This way of weaving loop pile was invented by Müllers & Spindler of Dülken, Germany in 1894. Instead of a lancet, a binding warp thread was used to support the dummy wefts. Already in 1904 the use of metal lancets is described in the patent of Wilhelm Förster from Chemnitz, Germany. Before steel that could be rolled into thin metal strips was invented early in the twentieth century, thin metal (piano) wire was used. Oth
