Appalachian pioneered the concept of yarn sheet inspection in the 1950's and we're still leading the way with the Model 500 Yarn Inspector.

The M-500 is a processor-
based unit incorporating a control center for operator interface, quick and easy keypad programming, MINOR/MAJOR/LENGTH defect detection, warp yards and revs counters, defect flagging, beam mapping, automatic calibration and self-diagnostics capability.

For most applications, the SINGLE rail system will provide the defect detection and warp quality required.  For high speed warping and close inspection of fine filament yarns without "false stops", specify the DUAL rail system.

The BD-10/BD-12 End-Break Detection System may be integrated within the M-500. These are Infrared transmitter/receiver systems usually associated with an air unit designed to blow out the end-break, interrupt the light beam and provide stop signal to the warper. For spun yarn applications specify the BD10-1A (single channel with air); for fine filament specify the BD12-2A (dual channel with air). For end-break performance at the carrier roll specify the BD10-1 (single channel without air).
