Trützschler develops T-DATA a monitoring system for spinning processes

Trützschler, a leading textile machinery manufacturer from Germany, specialist in machines, installations and accessories for spinning preparation, the nonwovens and man-made fibre has developed T-DATA a brand new real-time monitoring system in spinning processes that provides management with solid data for the daily routine, even on the go.

Since the system is web-based, the data are available anytime and anywhere, the company reports, providing new opportunities for efficient analysis of the production process. T-DATA has been developed to provide transparency and optimisation of the spinning preparation, and can be easily and intuitively individualised, precisely tailored to the requirements of the user. The system allows easy data transfer to higher-ranking customer systems, the manufacturer reports.

The T-Data software is easily configured by means of the intuitive web interface and adapted to customer requirements. The user determines which data are of interest to him on an individual basis, and defines the way they are viewed. Options range from basic settings all the way to highly sophisticated functions.

The production data of the machines are centralized via a communication gateway, and transmitted to a PC via a standard Ethernet connection. T-Records, a powerful recording tool, stores the information received in a readily accessible database. Access to the quality data, error statistics and their evaluation takes place via the web browser.

All Trützschler TC cards, TD autoleveller draw frames, foreign part separators, and in the future combers TCO 12, Superlap TSL 12, as well as the installation control LINECOMMANDER, can be linked to T-Data. The connected machines send their information automatically to the monitoring system.

To obtain meaningful information, it must firstly be determined. For this purpose, Trützschler developed a number of sensors. The optical sensor WASTECONTROL is used to monitor the waste quality of the cleaners in the blow room to prevent unnecessary fibre loss.

On the cards, NEPCONTROL counts the neps, trash particles and seed-coat fragments in the card web, allowing targeted clothing maintenance. The signals of the DISC MONITOR sensors on cards, draw frames and combers are designed to enable the early detection of emerging faults via the spectrogram analysis.

Finally, power consumption is monitored by special energy meters in the machines. T-DATA shows the deviating values of individual machines, allowing for a very targeted maintenance, according to the manufacturer.

Trützschler’s headquarters is located in Mönchengladbach, Germany. Trützschler produces excellent products at 9 locations in six countries around the world. Trützschler Spinning is the technology market leading in spinning preparation in the cotton and manmade fiber sector.
