OVERVIEW
System Components
The KTF/100HPS devices can be programmed and used either in individual and
autonomous way, or they can be connected to a control/programming SMART
KTF 2000 terminal, thus obtaining a
complete system
providing further levels of
analysis, adjustment, control and speed-up of production cycles, as well as
statistical data processing, particularly useful to reach the quality and saving goals
stated in the Introduction of this manual.
Moreover, using a Personal Computer or Notebook with the aid of PC-LINK KTF
Studio software running under Windows
TM
environment, you can implement an
efficient analysis & monitoring system which allows you to find and correct even
the minimum critical conditions and behaviour differences among the various
devices.
Main Characteristics of KTF/100HPS Devices
The KTF/100HPS device is a high-tech digital instrument that allows setting of the
exact tension value at which you want to operate. The data setting is done through
a small three-button key-pad and a graphic LCD display.
In normal operating conditions this LCD provides a real time display of the exact
yarn tension
(in grams)
during manufacturing process, the yarn consumption speed
(LFA)
(in m/min)
and in graphical form, both the average and peak values of the
yarn tension.
In addition, the operator may display at any time the internal temperature of the
device
(in °C),
by pressing the
Reset button.
An excessive increase of the temperature could infact indicate a wrong use of the
device; for this reason, the software on board of device performs a continuous
monitoring of the internal temperature.
If such temperature exceeds 110°C, an alarm message
(ERROR °C)
appears in the
graphic area of LCD, and the stop output is activated.
Thanks to a configurable safety code, all parameters can only be changed by
authorised personnel who knows such safety code.
The KTF/100HPS device may easily be programmed also using the SMART KTF
2000 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 KTF 2000 and then
from SMART KTF 2000 to other KTF devices installed on different machines; all
this in about 1 second
(i.e. the time needed to complete the data transfer).
The KTF/100HPS is a space saving device
(125 x 60 x 40 mm).
This permits 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.
The KTF/100HPS 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.
