Autoconer X6 represents a quantum leap in process automation. With its Bobbin cloud material flow system based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, it takes a definitive step towards automation 4.0 in the winding field. This E³-certified machine is distinguished by even lower resource consumption and increased production. With its outstanding winding technology, the Autoconer is and remains the globally recognized benchmark for quality yarn and package production.
Automation 4.0 with Bobbin Cloud
Bobbin cloud characteristics include the decentralized processing aggregates and the material flow designed in a round loop. In formula 1 during the pit stop, the bobbins and tubes are automatically moved to the processing aggregates positioned along the guide ways. The cycle speed and capacity can be increased by installing several bobbin preparation stations which operate in parallel. The bobbin cloud directly supplies the winding units reliably with prepared bobbins. The entire circuit functions as a material storage unit.
Another important feature is the new optical tube inspector with infrared sensor for increased process reliability. It reliably detects, through noncontact scanning, the single yarns and all yarn structures even at high cycle rates.
RFID technology and Bobbin Cloud forms a direct link between Autoconer and ring spinning machine. Another key feature is the integrated online quality monitoring system SPID which enables every spinning mill to establish its quality level at the highest standard. New standard is the optimum machine networking and intensive process automation.
Energy: up to 20% lower resource consumption
Autocone offers up to 20% reduced energy consumption due to its high efficiency. Components and functions that have been optimized in terms of this include improved aerodynamics in the airflow, unique power on demand vacuum control and drives with high efficiency levels.
The energy monitor continuously monitors compressed air and energy consumption online which helps the operating personnel to optimize winding processes in an energy efficient manner and thus reduce costs.
The Autoconer X6 conserves the most valuable resource, the yarn, through perfectly coordinated winding and cycling processes. The upper yarn sensor, aerodynamically optimized suction nozzle, SmartCycle with intelligent cycling sequence and SmartJet in the doffer work in perfect harmony.
Economics: up to 6% higher productivity
The Autoconer X6 has been consistently designed for maximum economy. Extra-long machines with up to 96 winding units increase productivity per square meter. The Bobbin Cloud reliably supplies all winding units along the entire length with material at the highest cycle rates.
Benefit from the quality benchmark
Autoconer packages are considered the benchmark for package quality in the textile industry – both in commodity and special applications. Even in its basic configuration, the Autoconer ensures high-quality packages with many functional details; the package build offers high process reliability and thus higher benefits in downstream processing.
