User Interface (HMI)

Touchscreen Display

High resolution 10.4-inch HMI with a colour TFT display.

Machine Operation

A clear, user friendly interface for efficient operation.

Operator Transition

Designed for a straightforward transition from legacy OEM systems with minimal retraining.

Machine Speed Control System

Replace outdated OEM drive technologies with coordinated speed control to support improved efficiency, reduced downtime and greater process stability.

Speed Control

Closed loop control using AC inverters with encoder feedback.

Synchronised Components

Feed rollers, tangential belts (friction units), take up rollers, yarn traverse, package edge breaking and oil roller.

Shaft Speed Calculation

Shaft speeds are calculated from user defined parameters.

Drive Communication

RS485 serial communication links the control system and drives.

Traverse and Edge Breaking Control System

The system replaces legacy OEM traverse controls to support uniform package build and consistent winding quality.

Edge Breaking

Edge breaking and anti patterning through radial disturbance.

Stroke Modification

Configurable stroke modification, subject to the machine’s mechanical limits.

Soft Edge Generation

Multi stroke operation for soft edge generation.

Winding Tension

Synchronised traverse and axial movement to maintain consistent winding tension.

Axial Disturbance

Adjustable from large to fine increments, with up to 16 steps.

Stored Programs

Customisable parameters with user defined program storage.

Preloaded Programs

Programs for commonly used yarn types.

Temperature Control System

Replace outdated OEM temperature controllers with precise control for primary and secondary heaters.

Temperature Range

Ambient temperature to 280°C.

Sensor Compatibility

Thermocouple and PT100 sensors.

Heater Setpoints

Global temperature setpoints and individual setpoints for each heater.

Primary Heater Control

Inert temperature control for primary heaters.

Delta T

Cable drop compensation.

Delta TT

Global heater trimming.

Alarm Logging

Integrated alarm logging for diagnostics and compliance.

Why Upgrade from Legacy OEM Systems?

Obsolete or unsupported controls can increase downtime risk, limit spare parts availability and make repairs costly. Older systems can also restrict control capability, efficiency and visibility of machine data.

The upgrade provides backward compatibility with existing machinery and modern, serviceable components with long term support. It supports improved productivity, consistency and energy efficiency, alongside reduced maintenance costs and improved operational reliability.

Process Control

Control settings matched to the machine and the required operating conditions.

Machine Integration

Assess existing drives, sensors and interfaces before specifying an upgrade.

Technical Support

Support for commissioning, settings and ongoing operation.
