French textile machinery manufacturers are technology partners for hardware, software and services. NSC Schlumberger has introduced the ERA combing machine in a multi-servomotor drive design. With this new drive, most settings will be possible via the main control screen. The GC chain gill also benefits from additional axes driven by servomotors which allow more settings on the main control screen. All these new servomotor drives will allow more precise settings than using standard gearboxes which will enhance textile quality. Furthermore these new drives and technology allow recipes to be saved on each machine. Data exchange between machines will be possible through a Manufacturing Execution System as is remote access to the machines in case of incidents through an ethernet connection. Fil Control has a new motion reflective sensor for ring spinning machinery that allows monitoring, controlling and optimizing a yarn manufacturer’s productivity for better quality at lower cost.

Superba’s new automatic winder has an individual spindle motorization drive combined with a single tension sensor per position. It enables a constant tension winding process, a very accurate bobbin length measuring as well as an unique quality control for each yarn position. It opens up new opportunities in terms of winding quality.
