EYE – Eltex Yarn Expert

EYE – Eltex Yarn Expert

EYE is a system for yarn break detection and statistics handling on textile machines. It is a flexible system that can be used on machines ranging from a few yarns to thousands.

The EYE system is rapidly learning the yarns in operation. The event logging function makes it possible to view the process statistics and pinpoint the weak spots in the process. All parameters are set on the operator terminal. System status and statistics are also displayed on the operator terminal.

Depending on the number of ends there is sometimes a need for a Sub Control Unit in combination with the EYE Main Control Unit. When used on creels with EYE Multi eyelet sensors only, up to 72 sensors can be used on each control unit. When using single sensors up to 96 sensors can be used on each control unit.

Peripherals

They EYE system contains of a Main Control Unit, an operator terminal and yarn break sensors. The Main Control Unit communicates with the sensors and the operator terminal. It processes all the data and gives stop and lamp indication signals when a yarn fault occurs.The touch screen operator terminal has a very user-friendly interface. The number of yarns in operation and position of yarn fault are clearly displayed. The Yarn break sensors use the well proven piezoelectric principle. They are robust and can work with a wide range of yarns and are not influenced by dust, dirt, humidity or ambient light. The sensors are available with 1, 8, 10 or 12 eyelets.
