Abstract

A method and an installation for producing a twisted synthetic yarn, comprising a spin-drawing installation configured to produce continuous filaments from a liquid plastics material or granular material by at least one spinneret and then to produce at least one yarn from at least two continuous filaments. A downstream treatment apparatus treats the at least one yarn which is transferred, without interruption, from the treatment apparatus to a downstream twisting/cabling apparatus via a collection and transport apparatus in a continuous process from the spin-drawing installation to the twisting/cabling apparatus. The collection and transport apparatus is configured to compensate for a difference in a production speed between the spin-drawing installation and the twisting/cabling apparatus.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing a crimped composite thread. The crimped composite thread includes a first polymer melt and a second polymer melt. The first polymer melt and the second polymer melt are arranged next to one another, in particular side-by-side, in portions in such a way that a composite thread is formed. The first polymer melt and the second polymer melt each have a different material property so that self-crimping of the composite thread is initiated by means of an active crimping initiation. Additionally, there is a system for producing a crimped composite thread from a bulk continuous filament yarn for carpet yarn using the method and the device.

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for treating at least one multifilament thread, having a wetting device for applying a liquid to the thread and having an entangling device for producing entangling knots in the wetted thread. For this purpose, the wetting device and the entangling device are arranged one behind the other in the thread path. In order to be able to use the dynamic effects resulting from entangling the thread for wetting, according to the invention, a spacing between an outlet of the wetting device and an inlet of the entangling device is selected such that vibrations generated by entangling act on the thread in a wetting groove of the wetting device.

Abstract

The invention relates to a melt-spinning device for producing synthetic threads. The melt-spinning device comprises: at least two groups of spinning nozzles for extruding a plurality of bundled filament strands; and a cooling apparatus. Each group of the spinning nozzles is assigned a separate blowing chamber for producing a cooling air flow for cooling the filament strands; the cooling air can be fed to the blowing chambers by means of at least one source of conditioned air. According to the invention, in order to obtain, in each of the blowing chambers, identical cooling air flows for cooling the filament strands, the blowing chambers are connected to each other by means of a pressure-difference measuring apparatus, by means of which a pressure difference of the cooling air within the blowing chambers can be detected. Thus, it is possible to operate both blowing chambers with positive pressure which is as equal as possible.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for monitoring a multiplicity of processing points (1) for synthetic threads (3), in which a thread tension of the thread is measured continuously for each processing point (1). The measured values of the thread tension are analysed and used to generate a multiplicity of fault graphs. The thread tension fault graphs are each assigned to a fault cause in the production process. To identify manual thread tension measurements, according to the invention, one of the fault graphs is assigned, as one of the fault causes, a manual thread tension measurement that was carried out previously by an operator on the thread in question at the processing point. This ensures automated detection of the manual thread tension measurement by an operator.

Abstract

Techniques are directed to a method and a device for monitoring a yarn tension of a running yarn in a yarn treatment process. To this end, the yarn tension of the yarn is continuously measured and the measurement signals for the yarn tension are compared with a threshold value of an admissible yarn tension. In the event of an inadmissible tolerance deviation of the measurement signals, a short-term signal path of the yarn tension is detected as a fault graph. In order to enable a fault diagnosis, the fault graph of the yarn tension is analyzed using a machine learning program. The fault graph is then allocated to one of the existing fault categories or to a new fault category. A device for this purpose may include a diagnosis unit, which cooperates accordingly with the yarn tension evaluation unit.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for handling a thread spool and to an auxiliary device for handling a thread spool. The thread spool is produced by winding a thread at a winding point, wherein the product data and process data of said thread spool are present at the winding point in the form of a data set. The thread spool is removed and transported away from the winding point by an action of an operator. In order to ensure the assignment of the data set to the thread spool, according to the invention the action of the operator is monitored and identified by a camera system. For this purpose, the auxiliary device has a camera system for monitoring and identifying the action of the operator. In this way, the storage locations of the thread spool can be used in order to enable a link to be made between the data set and the thread spool at any time.

Techniques involve texturing a synthetic thread. The thread is pulled off a feed bobbin, which is connected via the thread end thereof to a beginning of a thread of a reserve bobbin by way of a thread knot. In order to monitor the texturing, a thread tension of the thread is measured and analyzed in a measuring point. Additionally, measuring signals of the thread tension are analyzed at the measuring point using a machine learning program, in order to identify the thread knot. To this end, a device has a diagnostic unit, which interacts with the thread tension measuring device in such a way that the measuring signals of the thread tension can be analyzed by way of a machine learning program for identifying a thread knot.

Abstract

Techniques are directed to a method and a device for monitoring a yarn tension of a running yarn in a yarn treatment process. To this end, the yarn tension of the yarn is continuously measured and the measurement signals for the yarn tension are compared with a threshold value of an admissible yarn tension. In the event of an inadmissible tolerance deviation of the measurement signals, a short-term signal path of the yarn tension is detected as a fault graph. In order to enable a fault diagnosis, the fault graph of the yarn tension is analyzed using a machine learning program. The fault graph is then allocated to one of the existing fault categories or to a new fault category. A device for this purpose may include a diagnosis unit, which cooperates accordingly with the yarn tension evaluation unit.
