WarpScan

Eliminate Lost Ends in your beam sets...

  • Provides cost effective stop motion for warping/beaming.
  • Confirms the end count and signals end-out.
  • Flags re-current end-break from same package.
  • Very simple operator interface.

As compared to creel based stop motions such as drop wires or motion sensors, the WarpScan is a more cost- effective approach to end- break detection in warping/
beaming applications.  Generally the WarpScan is placed in the line at the entrance/exit  of the Yarn Inspector.  A comb/reed is required for perfect yarn spacing; the cameras are focused on the warp sheet at this point.  With halogen lamps overhead, the yarn sheet reflects light back and the resultant image is focused onto a linear CCD array in the camera.

Features &Capabilities

  • Processor based controller
  • Adjustable support framework
  • Yarn hold down bars & reed holders
  • Easy Operator programming
  • Halogen lamp or fluorescent light source
  • Fine filament & spun yarn applications
  • Warping and draw-warping lines
  • Long Chain Beaming(Denim)
  • Input Power 110/220 VAC 50/60 Hz

The operator inputs the end count into the control.  The processor scans the total end count several times per second.  If the count agrees with the pre-set total, the scan continues.  If the count disagrees, the warper receives stop signal and the end-break is identified on the LCD display.

In Long Chain Beaming applications the WarpScan is positioned at the beamer.  Fluorescent backlighting is applied. Typical response time results in a beamer stop within one beam rev.
