USTER’s third generation of yarn clearers makes specialist know-how available to every spinner at the touch of a button. The new USTER QUANTUM 3 recommends clearing limits based on the yarn body, other quality considerations and the experience of USTER. The implemented know-how represents a major advantage as defining the optimum clearing limits has in the past been the task of a specialist.
It needs to take into account a number of factors. Among these are the appearance of the final fabric, acceptable CLASSIMAT results, the productivity of the knitting or weaving process and, of course, the number of clearer cuts which can be tolerated.
Summing up these elements is an extraordinarily complex but fundamental task, and it requires a highly alert and knowledgeable expert. Needless to say, such specialists are hard to find.
The ideal alternative, therefore, would be to create an objective technological basis for defining clearing limits, and possibly to implement the required know-how in the tool (i.e., the clearer) itself. Technological limitations have prevented this dream from becoming a reality, until now. But with the introduction of the latest generation of the USTER QUANTUM 3 yarn clearer, with full yarn body visualization; this seemingly impossible goal has now been achieved.
Here is how to solve the know-how challenge automatically. At the touch of a button, the system proposes clearing limits, based on the yarn body and other quality considerations such as the CLASSIMAT results, the impact of defects on the subsequent fabric, etc. Since the limits proposed are calculated from the unique fault distribution pattern of each yarn in the mill, this innovation solves the know-how challenge for many spinners.
What is more, the clearing limit can be made more or less strict at any time and at the touch, once again, of a single button. Even for experts, this feature provides sound confirmation of their experience-based judgment and saves money in the process.
