Abstract
A melt spinning device for producing synthetic threads includes at least a spinneret apparatus, a cooling apparatus, a processing apparatus and a winding apparatus. An automatic operating device is provided for carrying out at least one operator action. The automatic operating device has at least one movable robotic arm, which can be coupled selectively to one of a plurality of exchangeable tools in order to selectively carry out a plurality of operator actions during a start-up and/or during a maintenance interval and/or during thread production. Thus, a high level of flexibility in the automated operation of the melt spinning device is ensured.
Claims8
Melt-spinning device for producing synthetic threads, having at least one spinning nozzle installation, having at least one cooling installation, having at least one treatment installation, having at least one take-up winding installation, and having at least one movable robotic operator for carrying out at least one operator activity,
- wherein the robotic operator has at least one movable robotic arm which for selectively carrying out a plurality of operator activities during commissioning and/or during a maintenance interval and/or during the production of thread is selectively couplable to one of a plurality of interchangeable tools,
- wherein the tools are kept ready in a tool magazine disposed on the robotic operator,
- wherein one of the tools is a suction injector installation by way of which one or a plurality of threads is/are guidable to a waste container, and
- wherein one of the tools is a gripping installation by way of which one or a plurality of packages and/or one or a plurality of package tubes is/are guidable.
Method for operating a melt-spinning device for producing one or a plurality of synthetic threads which are extruded by means of a spinning nozzle installation, which are cooled by means of a cooling installation, which are treated by means of a treatment installation, and which are wound so as to form packages by means of a take-up winding installation,
- wherein at least one operator activity is carried out by a movable robotic operator,
- wherein the robotic operator by means of interchangeable tools selectively carries out a plurality of operator activities during commissioning and/or a maintenance interval and/or during the production of thread,
- wherein the tools are kept ready in a tool magazine disposed on the robotic operator,
- wherein one of the tools is a suction injector installation by way of which one or a plurality of threads is/are guidable to a waste container, and
- wherein one of the tools is a gripping installation by way of which one or a plurality of packages and/or one or a plurality of package tubes is/are guidable.
