Optical yarn defects sensor
The yarn defect sensor WeftMaster® FALCON-i is a unique sensor that detects smallest yarn defects, knots and other irregularities in filament yarns and tapes used in various manufacturing processes of high value technical fabrics.
Prevents smallest yarn defects in fabrics
Application example: Carbon fabrics
Applicable independently from machine
Application example: Tire cords
Easy, intuitive user interface
Application example: Sailcloth
The optical defect sensor FALCON-i is an important innovation for flawless production of technical fabrics.
With its autonomous operation and intuitive user interface, the sensor makes it easy to select the desired quality level with just one button.
How to benefit
WeftMaster® FALCON-i is unique in detecting the smallest faults in multifilaments. The areas of application are many and varied.
Removing smallest knots, fluff and filamentation
dTex 470: fluff
dTex 860: stretch fault
dTex 1100: filamentation
dTex 470: filamentation
dTex 1100: filamentation
dTex 1100: filamentation
Adaptive quality control
To monitor unwanted yarn faults on the running threads, the WeftMaster FALCON-i is installed before or after a weft feeder.
- Between cone and prewinder
Prevents that the knot is erroneously woven. - Between prewinder and weft sensor
Detection of errors wich can occur on the prewinder or deflections. - After weft sensor
Detection of errors wich can occur on the prewinder, weft sensor or deflections.
