1.3 INTENDED USE – TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL FEATURES
Intended Use:
ECOPOWER is a yarn feeder featuring separate coils, suitable for all types
of knitting machines or for textile machines requiring yarn feed-in with
constant tension.
Optimised operation is provided with yarn counts ranging from 500 den
(the thicker yarn counts) down to 10 den (fine yarn counts).
IMPROPER uses
Improper uses are all those uses which are not expressly indicated among
the design uses, namely:
- Working of yarns other than those specified
- Power supply of the machine not matching the specified value
- Use of the machine in an explosive atmosphere.
Operational features:
• Automatic speed adjustment designed to cover the machine's yarn quantity
requirements.
• Spool body winding reserve control by means of a magnetic feeler system.
• Yarn feeder and machine stop function if no yarn is detected at the feeder's
yarn input (broken yarn or empty yarn bobbin).
• Kit KLS (Optional):
Feeder and machine stop function when no yarn is found on feeder outlet
without using mechanical sensors (yarn broken or out of the needles).
• The option of being able to fit on various tensioning devices based on the
type of yarn actually being used, at both the feeder's inlet and outlet.
• Either vertical set-up or horizontal set-up assembly option, selectable
based on requirements.
• Real-time detection and display function of the yarn consumption related to
each machine feed
• ATTIVO electronic tensioner (optional). The operator sets the desired
output tension, and the system will maintain it, to avoid all tension changes
depending on the yarn, the bobbin and the like issues.
Technical specifications:
• Power supply by means of a direct connection with the machine, or through
a power supply box that is supplied separately by L.G.L. Electronics.
Power supply voltage data: V = 42-48 VAC Three-phase Hz = 50/60 (AC Version)
V = 57 VDC (DC Version)
• Automatic yarn input speed control provided up to a maximum of
1000 m/min.
• Coil separation feature fixed at 1 mm.
