Introduction
Congratulations for choosing a BTSR product.
With our SMART MATRIX QUILT yarn control system, you got an innovative, unique solution, which offers
you multiple advantages concerning the quality control of your production.
SMART MATRIX QUILT has been designed for applications on quilting machines, that must use a
determined number of yarns with controlled tension, during the stitching/quilting operations.
SMART MATRIX QUILT , combined with TS5/TS7 tension sensor, represents a complete and effective
machine control system.
The SMART MATRIX QUILT system has been developed by BTSR International S.p.A. to make easier and
optimize:
•
The sensor programming,
•
The system configuration,
•
The production monitoring.
The system is capable of self-learning the yarn sequence used by the quilting machine during a sample
cycle
(LEARN) and to indicate any type of error detected during the subsequent production cycles
(excessive or insufficient yarn tension).
The availability of a “User Friendly” graphic interface allows you to quickly and intuitively program all the
operating parameters of
TS5/TS7 sensors; in addition, it provides a real time monitoring of sensors behavior
and production efficiency.
Manual Objectives
