TX-100
A versatile single-end yarn monitor that detects broken ends, end-outs, and tight ends. Using patented optical technology, the TX-100 will monitor for tight ends and stop the machine before the break occurs (depending on yarn type). This translates into increased production and multiple machines per operator.
Single end yarn monitoring for Broken AND Tight ends. Because every Broken end was first a tight end.

TUFTIGHT LX
Employing the same detection principle as the industry-proven Tuftight Gen 1,
reconfigured in a simpler, more integrated, and easier to maintain design
Set the angle of the yarn and adjust detection sensitivity with a unique rack-and-pinion mechanism. Select programmable stop delay for the entire rail or each meter section.
The Tuftight LX accommodates various creel and header layouts by normalizing the tight-end response across the machine. Connect to plant data systems via PLC interface using industry standard RS-232 serial port.
System features & capabilities
-
Indicator light for each meter segment and tight-end identification
-
Yarn path capacity up to 7-meters
-
Rack-and-pinion yarn tension adjustment for matching tension
requirements to yarn type (wool to polypropylene) -
User-removable and replaceable switch covers

LXg for graphics machines
The LXg model is designed for graphics machines with front and rear yarn feeds.
Two single-sided rails connecting to one controller allows a cost-effective solution for graphics tufting machines.
LXs for scroll machines
Many modern servo scroll tufting machines employ lower power drive mechanisms to allow for greater single-end yarn control. Often, the geometry of these machines does not create enough torque on the yarn to activate a tight-end detector. The result is a broken end, or worse, a low line and poor quality carpet. The LXs uses highly sensitive contacts, 10 times more responsive than the normal tight-end detector.

TE-101
Tight end detection for carpet yarn warping.
Don't wait until the yarn breaks in your warping process. Avoid defects that cost you in down time and product quality. The TE-101 stops the warper before the yarn breaks.
The TE-101 is a stand-mounted unit located between the warper and the creel. Each end is threaded through a ceramic pigtail. Sensitivity is adjusted with a simple knob and scale. The TE-101 requires no complicated setup or wiring.
