Yarn Capacitive Sensor

Capacitive sensors

Monitor the tension variations produced by the electrical charges into the yarn in linear motion.

MCL1 / MCL2 / MCL-E / MCL-U / MCL-B / CC-AFK

MCL1

MCL1 is a yarn break capacitive sensor, very versatile, used in winding, doubling, texturing, etc. process.
MAIN FUNCTION: Control the linear motion of any kind of textile yarns. When the yarn breaks or when scrolling stops, MCL1 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 / HIGH signal to an automate.
Any kind of material able to keep electrostatic charge can be checked by MCL1.
A specific version has been developed for Elasthane yarns (low speed).
PRINCIPLE: MCL1 probe will check the tension variations produced by the electrical charges into the yarn in motion. MCL1 is insensitive to dust and vibrations.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: MCL1 is protected against reversed polarity and high level overload on output. It shows a very high level of EMC, electromagnetic compatibility:>4 kV.

?MCL-B

MCL-B is a yarn break capacitive sensor, very versatile, used in winding, doubling, twisting and texturing
process.
MAIN FUNCTION: Control the linear motion of manmade fibres.
When the yarn breaks or when scrolling stops, MCL-B 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 / HIGH signal to an
automate.

MCL2

The MCL2 is a yarn break capacitive sensor useful for assembling, and winding applications.

MAIN FUNCTION: To control the linear motion of two textile yarns when assembling. When a yarn breaks or stops, the MCL2 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 signal to an automate.
Any kind of material able to keep electrostatic charge can be checked by the MCL2.
PRINCIPLE: The MCL2 probe will check the tension variations produced by the electrical charges into the yarn in motion. The MCL2 is insensitive to dust and vibrations.

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: The MCL2 is protected against reversed polarity and high level overload on
output. It shows a very high level of EMC, electromagnetic compatibility : >4 kV.

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.

MCS

The MCS is a capacitive technology yarn sensor recommended when yarn speed is very low (￡ 20 m/mn), when yarn count is less than 20 dtex and/or when the sensor is mounted in an environment showing high electromagnetic level of perturbations. When the yarn breaks or stops, the sensor will indicate a default situation and give the information to the machine or to the operator by the means of a LED.
Dirt does not influence the sensor.
Electrical protection: Reversed polarity and high level overload on output have no influence on the MCS. It shows a very high level of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
