Abstract:
A bobbin and spool management system includes a bobbin topper having a central disc with upwardly and downwardly extending stanchions projecting therefrom, each being capped with a mushroom bolster and having a medially located chamfered collar. The upwardly projecting stanchion is adapted to mate with an axial bore in the barrel of a bobbin and retain the bobbin while the downwardly projecting stanchion is adapted to penetrate the axial bore in the barrel of a supply spool and be retained on the supply spool.
Abstract:
A method and device for controlling the fixation of a treatment material being applied to a thread during a thread treatment process are disclosed. The method comprises performing a thread treatment process, forming part of the thread consuming process, by: i) applying a treatment material to the thread; and ii) applying an amount of energy to the thread to at least partly fix the applied treatment material to the thread; wherein the method further comprises controlling the amount of energy being applied to the thread as a response to a detected operational status of the in-line thread consuming process.
Abstract:
A system (10) for in-line treatment of one or more threads (20a-b) for use with a thread consuming device (15) is provided. The system comprises a treatment unit (100) having a plurality of nozzles (152a-f) being distributed in at least a first and a second dispensing zone (154a-b), the dispensing zones (154a-b) being separated in a direction being perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the at least one thread (20a-b), said thread (20a-b) being in motion in use, each nozzle (152a-f) being configured to dispense one or more coating substances at least onto the at least one thread (20a-b) when activated, and a control unit (190) being configured to control activation of each dispensing zone (154a-b) of nozzles (152a-f) independently. A method is further provided.
Abstract:
A system (10) for in-line treatment of thread (20) for use with a thread consuming unit (15) is provided. The system comprises a treatment unit (100) comprising at least one discharge device (150) being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread (20) when activated. The system further comprises a control unit (190) configured to evaluate the thread consumption of a thread consuming device (15) based on operation data and at least one parameter being related to one or more thread consumption parameter (40), and control the dispensing from the discharge device (150) based on said evaluated thread consumption and/or adjust the thread consumption of the thread consuming device (15).
Abstract:
A system (10) for in-line treatment of thread (20) for use with a thread consuming device (15) is provided. The system comprises at least one treatment unit (100) being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread when activated and a thread speed sensor (50) being driven by the motion of the at least one thread (20). A method is further provided.
Abstract:
A system (10) for in-line treatment of thread (20) for use with a thread consuming unit (15) is provided. The system comprises a treatment unit (100) having a plurality of nozzles (152a-f) arranged at different positions relative the at least one thread (20), said at least one thread (20) being in motion in use, each nozzle being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread when activated, and a light detection system (60) for illuminating the at least one thread (20) in order to receive light which is reflected from the at least one thread (20) when said at least one thread (20) is illuminated.
Abstract:
A method for providing visual effects to a decorative thread pattern, is provided. The method comprises i) determining an object to be produced as such decorative thread pattern, ii) determining a thread arrangement comprising a plurality of consecutive thread portions, each thread portion having a thread portion direction, wherein the entire thread arrangement corresponds to said object to be produced, iii) determining at least one visual effect of said object to be produced, said visual effect being associated with a set of thread portions of said thread arrangement and having a direction being different from at least one thread portion direction of the set of thread portions, and iv) determining a colouring scheme for a specific thread such that the visual effect is obtained when production of the decorative thread pattern, using said thread according to said thread arrangement, is performed. A control unit is also provided.

Abstract:
A system for in-line treatment of at least one thread is provided. The system is configured to be used with a thread consuming device and comprises a treatment unit having a plurality of nozzles arranged at different positions relative the at least one thread, said at least one thread being in motion in use, each nozzle being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread when activated; and at least one thread engagement device configured to rotate the at least one thread along its longitudinal axis as the at least one thread moves through said treatment unit.
