Yarn sensor (presence of one yarn): MCL-E

MCL-E is a yarn break capacitive sensor devoted to high count yarns, especially carpet yarns.

MAIN FUNCTION: To control the linear motion of any kind of textile yarns.

When the yarn breaks or when scrolling stops, the MCL-E will inform the user (flashing LED) that a position is defective. It can also activate a yarn cutter or stop the position giving a LOW or HIGH signal to an automate.

Any kind of material able to keep electrostatic charge can be checked by the MCL-E.

PRINCIPLE: The MCL-E probe will check the tension variations produced by the electrical charges into the yarn in motion. Typically a 8000 dtex yarn running at 100 m/mn can easily be checked.
The MCL-E is insensitive to dust and vibrations.

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: The MCL-E is protected against reversed polarity and high level overload on output. It shows a very high level of EMC, electromagnetic compatibility : >4 kV.
