TS5/TS7 Sensor Features
The TS5/TS7 devices are intelligent sensors capable of detecting, due to sophisticated control technique, the
tension applied to the yarn being controlled, signaling possible anomalies about the tension itself.
The tension exerted by the yarn on sensor’s loading cell
((depending on the feeding tension of the yarn
itself), is detected by the electronics of the sensor and converted by the built-in DSP (Digital Signal
Processor) into a digital signal that can be interpreted both by the TS5/TS7 sensor and by the SMART
MATRIX program.
TS5/TS7 devices can be used for yarn quality control (under both static and dynamic conditions) which,
thanks to an innovative patented technique (Tension Smart Scanning Sensor) don't need complex wirings
and long installation times.
The
TS5/TS7 devices are fully programmable for an easy implementation of quality control of any kind of
yarn/application.
As the
TS5/TS7 are parametric devices, it is possible to set freely error percentages on tension and the
duration of anomalies.
The
TS5/TS7 devices are very easy to use as they are ready to accommodate a large variety of accessories
that make them suitable to the quality control of any type of yarn.
Function of the TS5/TS7 Sensors
The TS5/TS7 sensors provide the real time control of the yarn running inside the eyelet and, in case of
defect, they either immediately stop the machine position or activate solenoid-valves, cutters, or other control
devices, automatically signaling which is the first sensor,
(among those connected) , that stopped the
position.
The
TS5/TS7 sensors have two signaling lights (green LED, red LED) and a “Touch Light” button.
The “Touch Light” button is used to carry out the automatic sensor numbering and error reset operations.
During the automatic numbering of the sensors
(flashing green LED), by skimming the touch light you assign
the sensor the number shown on the device identification screen of SMART MATRIX program.
During an alarm condition (flashing red LED) , by skimming the touch light, you will reset the position.
