Autoconer X6- flow into the future Bobbin Cloud and RFID technology form the basis for a
future-orientated direct link between Autoconer and ring
spinning machine. A key feature is the integrated online
quality monitoring system SPID. This means every
spinning mill now has the opportunity to establish its
quality level at the highest standard. Optimum machine
networking and more intensive process automation are
becoming the new standard.

Energy: up to 20% lower resource consumption
A comparison between the performances of the 5th and
6th Autoconer machine generations highlights the
impact of process automation. The Autoconer X6 also
offers attractive energy consumption reductions of up to
20%, which is mainly due to its high energy efficiency.
All components and functions have been optimized in
terms of this. These measures include improved
aerodynamics in the airflow, state-of-the-art drives with
high efficiency levels and the unique Power on Demand
