NEXT DESTINATION: PROXIMA Smartconer®

The new winding machine Proxima Smartconer® is setting the benchmark in Savio automatic winding. We have combined the name Proxima with Smartconer®: it stands for a high-tech winding machine, capable of perfectly adapting to demands of Connectivity, Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things.

Thanks to the innovations, spinners will get a machine featuring high-tech capabilities, thanks to a design with a strong focus on the main benefits for customer’s competitive advantage: high productivity, low energy consumption, premium yarn quality, automation, and data connectivity.

Proxima Smartconer® has been designed with the foremost attention to the customer’s needs in the optimal utilization of a winding machine. Investing in equipment that enables to work faster and reduces manual and repetitive tasks, can increase both efficiencies and overall productivity. The same applies to a new equipment that does more of what is needed, faster, safer, with better quality but with less waste, less maintenance, and less resource usage.

SAVIO’S LYBRA Smartspinner®: WE SPIN DIFFERENT
Savio’s new air-jet spinning machine: LYBRA Smartspinner®

With Lybra Smartspinner®, we spin different with a versatile and smart machine. Savio’s air-jet spinning machine has been developed with an original spinning technology to serve our customers in specific applications of textile production: knitting, home textiles, sunshades. Air-jet spun yarn has a soft and smooth character, perfectly adapting to creating functional & fashionable fabrics.

With LYBRA Smartspinner®, we want to offer our customer a versatile, flexible, cost saving and easy-to-use machine. Air-jet spinning offers to yarn manufacturers the opportunity to produce yarn at high production rates and low processing costs. The air-jet spinning technology use the same preparation of the conventional ring spinning. This processing works directly with slivers instead of roving, integrating three textile processes: roving, spinning & winding.

Space needs for air-jet spinning is 25-30% less than for ring-spinning equipment producing the same capacity, thereby reducing building costs. Also, a smaller area requires less climate control and reduced operating personnel. This results in further substantial savings, maximizing the return on investment.

BONAS

as the market leader, continues to build on the success of innovations in Jacquard technology. As markets are rapidly changing, future proof digital machines with maximum weaving design flexibility are paramount. The Bonas jacquard range, with up to 31.104 hooks in a single jacquard or 62.208 hooks when coupled, already dominates many markets in fashion, home, floor, and technical textiles. The most compact jacquard range available, with the least mass to drive, offers lower power consumption.

Low energy consumption, even for high-speed weaving, is additionally emphasized on the Si range. The Smart Drive is equipped with a unique feed forward system, predicting the design-related load so minimizing the over-all power consumption.

Clear and reliable bi-directional data communication is made possible by the fast responding, easy to use Ce controller.Low Maintenance and Smart Energy Management, to name just a few features, are easily accessible. Remember that Bonas is the only jacquard supplier allowing 100% diagnostics of the selection system - the heart of jacquard weaving.

IRO-ROJ

Our way to the perfect fabric - We are the leader in developing Weft Feeders for the textile industry

Setting a new standard with GENERATION 4 Weft Feeders

Presenting the new X4 Weft Feeders with ”integrated accessory display” setting a new feeder standard. The current settings and any alarms can be easily monitored using the integrated display – with any required changes being easily made using the adjustment knob.

X4 Weft Feeders

X4 feeders are available in three different versions – (i) with integrated Tension Display (TED), (ii) with integrated Active Tension Control (ATC) and (iii) with Rapid Tension Control (RTC).

Standard with TED – Tension Display that makes it possible to reproduce weft tension settings from one machine to another. Enabling a fast start-up the next time the same article is woven. The position of the S-Flex Tensioner is constantly being monitored by an internal sensor – even if adjustment is made during power off.

With the optional ATC-W Active Tension Control the required tension is easily set and monitored on the integrated display. Once set, the system constantly regulates itself ensuring consistent yarn tension during the weaving process. The yarn tension is constantly and accurately measured by the ATC sensor unit, sending a signal to the ATC operator unit resulting in consistently stable yarn tension at the required level.

With the optional RTC Rapid Tension Control, a fast reacting, programmable weft tensioner system. The major advantage is that there is only one setting for the weft tension.

MEMMINGER-IRO GMBH

MEMMINGER-IRO GMBH is the world market leader in the development, production and sale of yarn feeders, monitoring and lubrication systems for knitting machines.

Among other products, MEMMINGER-IRO will present the following latest developments

K52 ATC is equipped with an Active Tension Control system, which ensures that the yarn output tension remains constant at the preset value, independent from external factors like size of the bobbins or quality of the yarn.

MCI

The MEMMINGER-IRO Communication Interface MCI is designed to control Storage feeders, tension-controlled feeders, motor drive systems and quality control devices produced by Memminger-Iro. This latest generation is webserver based. It is possible to operate one machine or several machines via one panel. With the MCI the knitter gets the maximum flexibility according to its demand.

The servo motors of MRA 4 completely replaces the quality adjustment pulley assembly. This results to receive a constant, precise stitch length and therefore an improved fabric quality. Article reproducibility is more accurate. The technical parameters of the motors are adapted to the trend of faster circular knitting machines with more feeders. The system as such is more economic which results in a much shorter Return on investment.
