Abstract
A system for in-line treatment of thread for use with a thread consuming device is provided. The system includes a treatment unit having a plurality of nozzles arranged at different positions relative the thread, said thread being in motion in use, each nozzle being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the thread when activated; and a control unit configured to activate at least two of the nozzles to dispense the coating substance at different circumferential positions of the thread when the thread twists along its longitudinal axis.

A system for in-line treatment of thread for use with a thread consuming device, comprising:
- a treatment unit having a plurality of nozzles arranged at different positions relative the thread, said thread being in motion in use, each nozzle being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the thread when activated;
- and
- a control unit configured to set an activation timing of at least two of the nozzles such that each nozzle is configured to dispense the coating substance at different circumferential positions of the thread when the thread twists along its longitudinal axis,
- wherein the activation timing of the at least two nozzles is set at least based on thread speed and on the twist per length unit of the thread.
A method for in-line treatment of thread, comprising:
- providing a treatment unit having a plurality of nozzles arranged at different longitudinal positions along the thread, each nozzle being configured to dispense a coating substance onto the thread when activated;
- and
- providing a control unit configured to set an activation timing of at least two of the nozzles such that each nozzles is configured to dispense the coating substance at different circumferential positions of the thread when the thread twists along its longitudinal axis,
- wherein the activation time of the at least two nozzles is set at least based on thread speed and on the twist per length unit of the thread.
