"Your trusted provider of yarn break sensors and yarn tension monitors." “The Eltex EYE is a flexible system designed for yarn break detection on textile machines.” EYE - Eltex Yarn Expert Yarn Break Detection System. EYE is a system for yarn break detection and statistics handling on textile machines. It is a flexible system that can be used on machines ranging from a few yarns to thousands. The EYE system is rapidly learning the yarns in operation. The event logging function makes it possible to view the process statistics and pinpoint the weak spots in the process. All parameters are set on the operator terminal. System status and statistics are also displayed on the operator terminal. • Fast stop for yarn break • Fast learning of positions in use • Events are logged in real time for statistics and diagnostics • I/O for one to six independent machines • Simple installation, service friendly, self diagnostic • Modern, smart and proven bus system • Networkable • Available with 1, 8, 10 or 12 eyelets • Depending on the number of ends there is sometimes a need for a slave unit in combination with the EYE Master Control unit. When used on creels with EYE Multi eyelet sensors only, up to 72 sensors can be used on each control unit. When using single sensors up to 96 sensors can be used on each control unit. The EYE Analyzer is a powerful PC software package developed by Eltex to be used for collecting data from one or more Eltex Yarn Expert (EYE) yarn break detection systems. The data is compiled into various statistics displayed in graphs to be conveniently exported to excel or printed to PDF. EYE Analyzer can also be configured to deliver its data directly into an existing plant monitoring software system. Once this software is put to work the operator soon finds out what a useful tool it is for locating weak points in the process and compiling statistics that can be used for evaluation at a later point. The collected statistics can also be very useful when calculating cost efficiency. It can be used when tufting carpets or artificial grass, on warping machines, and other applications. What can this software do? Machine Efficiency; the time in % of the selected time range that the selected machine(s) has been running and stopped. Standstill time in detail; the hours the machine(s) has been standing still because of yarn break, false position stop, normal stop and stop because of a system error. Five most frequent yarn fault positions; the five yarn positions for the selected machine(s) that have stopped the most in the selected time range. Both yarn breaks and false position stops are included in this value. Quantity of machine stops; number of stops for the selected machine(s) and within the selected time range. Divided into four groups; normal stops, stops because of yarn break, stops because of false position and stops because of a system error.

Operator Terminal The touch screen operator terminal has a very user friendly interface. The number of yarns in operation are clearly displayed. The yarn tension value from a particular sensor can be displayed. Master Control Unit The master control unit communicates with the sensors and the operator terminal. It processes all the data and gives stop and lamp indication signals when the tension in any yarn position is outside the set limits. Yarn break sensors The sensors use the well proven piezoelectric principle. They are robust and can work with a wide range of yarns and are not influenced by dust, dirt, humidity or ambient light. The sensors are available with 1, 8, 10 or 12 eyelets. Further advantages: • The stop position is shown both on the terminal and on the sensor • Ability to show user defined yarn position ID at yarn fault • The stop function can be set for immediate stop or after a certain number of missing yarns • Parameters can be set for different yarn groups and can also automatically change depending on machine speed • Automatic addressing of all the system parts • Easy to change system configuration • Simple connections with modular connectors • Robust sensors in metal housings • CAN Bus, Ethernet or Modbus (available for OEM interface) • Software updates can be quickly and easily installed Applications: • Warping creels • Winding machines • Multiaxial warp knitting machines • Heat set creels/winders • Air entanglement machines • Yarn preparation machines • Cable machines • General multithread applications To locate a reseller in your country, click here Head Office Eltex of Sweden AB Södra Portgatan 19 SE-283 50 Osby Sweden +46 479 53 63 00 info@eltex.se Homepage in cooperation with KalbyNet
