the spinning position. This means
that every spinning position is au-
tomated – no more waiting time for
central automated units. For your
spinning mill this means ever higher
effciency ratings, even for raw ma-
terials that call for frequent piecing
or particularly stringent settings for
yarn quality monitoring. Even high-
er rotor speeds are no taboo when
using this new technology.
Lot changing, the productiv-
ity killer on previous rotor spinning
machines, can be carried out on the
Autocoro 8 during full production.
It changes the lots simply ‘fowing’;
one lot smoothly follows the other
without tedious and unproductive lot
completion and run-up of the new
lot. The same goes for test packages.
While some spinning positions
with Pilot Spin are producing dif-
ferent test packages for your labora-
tory and your
customers, the
other spinning
positions si-
mul taneously
continue pro-
duction in an
entirely normal
manner. The
restrictions of
long machines
in terms of
take-up speeds
now also are
a thing of the
past. Thanks

300 m/min can
be achieved
with any ma-
chine length on
the Autocoro 8. And when the new
Autocoro runs up, it does not take
hours until the machine has reached
full production, but only a few min-
utes, for the Autocoro 8 realises run-
up in just 20% of the time required
by centrally driven rotor spinning
machines.
The single drives and the digital
control on the Autocoro 8 offer en-
tirely new possibilities for spinning
mills in co-ordinating the quality of
yarns and packages precisely to the
requirements of their customers. It
goes without saying that the Auto-
coro 8 has DigiPiecing, the digitally
controlled piecing technology that
has been proven over many years in
the Autocoro S 360. A high piecing
quality, reproducibility and reliabil-
ity of piecing are thus guaranteed.
The package know-how gathered
by Oerlikon Schlafhorst during
more than fve decades, the basis
of the leading position in winding
technology, is characteristic of the
new Autocoro 8, too. Package faults
such as blooming fanks, steps and
sloughing, which restrict productiv-
ity in downstream processing, do
no longer exist with the Autocoro 8
with DigiWinding, nor do traverse
losses, which increase costs in spin-
ning as well as in knitting and weav-
ing. Weaving mills already love the
packages of the Autocoro 8, because
they have up to 50 per cent fewer
yarn breaks.
With the Autocoro 8, spinning
mills combine the cost effciency
familiar from long machines with
the fexibility that short machines
offer them, because with the Auto-
coro 8 they produce up to fve lots
simultaneously on one machine us-
ing MultiLot. Thanks to single-drive
