Preventive Safety Measures and an Efficient Maintenance System for High-speed Yarn Winders

Abstract

Many high-speed winders are used in high-speed yarn-processing. The spindles fitted on them rotate at an extremely high speed, activating a large centrifugal force. Hence, when the package layer deforms or collapses for any reason during high-speed yarn-winding, this may result in vibration of the winder and, in extreme cases, in damage to the spindle. By using the vibration information produced by winders, a new system to avoid such accidents and to provide efficient maintenance for high-speed winders has been developed. The vibration amplitude of winders sometimes changes because of many factors, so it is very important to obtain the relevant vibration information from the winder with details of its condition. This system will have a significant influence on the spindle in the case of higher speeds, longer spindles, and smaller-diameter bobbins in the near future.
