                   MODERN AUTOMATIC ROTOR SPINNING MILL

NEW AUTOCORO 8 HIGH-TECH REVOLUTION IN ROTOR SPINNING

An innovative machine concept using single-drive technology is built in the machine. Every spinning position is autonomous and individually automated. Single drives have been used in the Autocoro and in the BD series for nearly 10 years, and have been an established feature of the Autoconer winding for over 20 years.

The new precision rotor reveals the technological advancement. Instead of a belt drive, the rotor is driven singly and enrirely electronically. The rotor motor in the new spinbox SE 20 is designed for speeds of up to 200,000 rpm.

On the Autocoro 8, each spinning position forms a self-contained production unit. The spinning and winding processes of each spinning position are autonomous, and piecing, too, is fully integrated in the spinning position. This means that every spinning position is automated – no more waiting times for central automated units. The result is higher efficiently ratings, even for raw materials that call for frequent piecing or particularly stringent settings for yarn quality monitoring. Even higher rotor speeds are not taboo when using this new technology.

During full production, lot changing, a productivity killer on previous rotor spinning machines, can be carried out on the Autocoro 8. It simply changes the lot ‘flowing’; one lot smoothly follows the other without tedious and unproductive lot competition and run-up of the new lot. The same goes for test packages. While some spinning positions with Pilotspin are producing different test packages for the laboratory and customers, the other spinning positions simultaneously continue production in an entirely normal manner. The restrictions of long machines in terms of take-up speeds now also are a thing of the past. 300 m/min can be achieved with any machine length on the Autocoro 8.
