SUPER ELF X3

– Dornier

Length correction

Avoids wrong weft length measurement due to the eventual overlapping of the coils on
the Spool body.

• Possible setting:

ON / OFF

• Recommended setting:

ON

Note:

Set OFF in case of short picks (one coil less) with irregular insertion times.

Double yarn sensor

Controls the yarn break by means of an external sensor (Roj PIEZO sensor TFE6).

• Possible setting:

ON / OFF

Rotation direction

To set the winding direction of the Feeder according to the yarn twist.

• Possible setting:

Z / S

Note:

When changing the winding direction, the coils pitch has to be changed too.

Maintenance

Calibrate hardware

Not used with Super Elf X3

Stopper / Pulsar test

This test activates a test cycle on the pulsar that will
move the pulsar fork according to the settings in the
Filling tensioner menu. The Stopper electromagnet is
also activated.

Check reserve sensor
