Automatic Creel and Package Change Systems
topic
Automatic creel systems on winding machines detect supply package exhaustion by photoelectric or weight sensors and automatically knotless-splice the new package yarn end to the running end through automatic yarn transfer mechanisms, enabling continuous winding without machine stop for package change, with multi-position creels holding reserve packages that extend the interval between operator creel attendance on each winding position.
Role
Reduces winding machine operator attendance by automating the most frequent manual intervention in winding operations through automatic package change and yarn joining that eliminates the manual tying or splicing of new supply packages, enabling higher operator-to-machine ratios in winding rooms and improving winding productivity by reducing the stop time associated with manual package change on individual winding positions.
