Sensor (Optical fiber)

Optical Fiber Sensor for Chenille Yarn. Fast, programmable defect detection for the winding process. The sensor for this application is patented # (202421009069) by Prime Engineers

Chenille yarn is produced in two main stages: (1) threading and twisting (2) winding. Prime engineers’ optical fibre sensor is used in the winding stage to detect and remove yarn defects that originate during the first stage.

Unlike conventional sensors, this sensor uses visible-light optical fibre sensing. Calibration is electronic and programmable, making setup simpler and more consistent. It sets a benchmark in the\ chenille yarn industry with a response time of 0.00005 second.

Features	Detects yarn faults and burls, colour variation, knots, thickness variation, and off-centre core yarn
Delivery Time	1 month
Standard Configuration	Set of 6 heads with one single-phase power pack

Key Features

IP64-rated protection — high protection against dust and water

Programmable calibration — no mechanical adjustment required

Built-in logic calibration — reduces problems caused by vibration and eliminates the need for periodic mechanical recalibration

No dedicated calibration operator — helps reduce manual workload

Built-in time-delay program — controls the defect gap

Individual sensor calibration — each winding spindle can run a different yarn

Save, recall, and lock functions — built in for all settings

Why choose this sensor?

Faster response for better defect removal

More consistent quality in chenille yarn winding

Less downtime from mechanical calibration

Flexible spindle-level control for different yarns
