MULTIFEEDER
External control
The MULTIFEEDER device may easily be programmed also using the SMART
MATRIX FEEDER/PFU terminal which, thanks to its flexibility, allows
programming of many devices at a glance. Once you have chosen the desired
working values on a given machine, you will just transfer the selected setting data
to the SMART MATRIX FEEDER/PFU and then from SMART MATRIX
FEEDER/PFU to other devices installed on different machines; all this in about 1
second
(i.e. the time needed to complete the data transfer).
Easy to install and manage
The MULTIFEEDER is a space saving device
(159 x 63 x 76 mm).
This permits you
to install several devices on the same machine with limited encumbrances. The
device has been designed bearing in mind not only the technological aspects, but
also the ergonomic ones. Thanks to these characteristics, the device can be
perfectly fitted within the machine structure, without compromising the machine
spaces which are usual to the operator.
Usable with any type of yarn
The MULTIFEEDER device can work with a wide range of yarns, including very
thin yarns such as bare and covered elastomers, always guaranteeing a perfect
control of yarn tension values chosen by the user, which results in a high quality of
the manufactured product.
The MULTIFEEDER device considerably reduces the preparation tasks, thanks to
a single self-threading ceramic eyelet that makes the operator job easier.
The tension value displayed on MULTIFEEDER’s LCD indicates the actual
tension with which the device is working. This guarantees a constant and accurate
monitoring of the working process.
Easy to program
Possibility of viewing and selecting directly from the navigation menu the desired
application
(socks, pantyhose, seamless, medical socks, raschel, etc..)
without the
need to manually set the relevant parameters.
Availability of optional intelligent accessories
The MULTIFEEDER device may be fitted with a UNICO (
UNI
versal Tension
CO
ntrol) accessory (
BTSR Patent
) with or without UNC.SR option (
BTSR Patent
).
Thanks to these accessories, the MULTIFEEDER device gets further performance,
particularly valuable on flat and circular knitting machines:
-
Automatic compensation of sudden and high yarn absorption variations, still
remaining within the MULTIFEEDER’s regulation loop [function provided by
UNICO accessory].
-
Timely detection of critical knots which could cause needle breakages
[function provided by UNICO accessory].
-
Controlled yarn storage and release capability during “Reverse” process
[function provided by UNC.SR accessory].
-
Automatic detection of ”yarn missing” condition [function provided by
UNC.SR accessory].
For more details about the UNICO and UNC.SR accessories, please
refer to paragraph “Characteristics and performance of UNICO and
UNC.SR accessories on Section 3.
