YARNPICKER YP3.1

Because Preparation is everything

The all new YP3.1 is designed to assist in the preparation of the fabric prior to the seaming process. Warp yarns in a strip taken from the fabric to be joined, are automatically removed, resulting in an undamaged set of original weft yarns to be used in the seaming machine.

The framework of 2 m² x 2 m height allows easy accessibility to machine components.

An electronic program (PLC) controls the complete yarn picking process. The working speed is adjustable, and the machine will stop automatically if the working cycle is interrupted.

All adjustments can be stored per fabric on a USB-stick for further use.

The seam strip is rolled up with a sheet of paper between the layers of wefts yarns to avoid disturbance of the yarns and cater for easy storage.

  • Automatically adjusted tension of the fabric throughout the picking process.
  • More powerful gripper head valves resulting in less wear and higher picking rate at the same movement speed.
  • Longer life of the gripper head analog valve because of lower gripper head pressure.
  • More precise weft tension through better tension roll material.
  • More constant thread tension in the picking area through additional weights.
  • Additional support of the suction unit at high speeds, counteracting problems caused by static electricity.
  • Better gear ratio of roll-up motor for more strength when picking coarse fabrics.
  • Fixed magnifying glass for a hands-free operation.
  • Additional tool boards for a more efficient working environment.
  • New data storage format in Excel for editing on a PC.
  • Possibility to add an additional thread separator.
