A system for in-line treatment of thread for use with a thread consuming unit, comprising:
- a treatment unit comprising at least one discharge device comprising at least two nozzles, arranged along the at least one thread, being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread when activated;
- a light detection system for illuminating the at least one thread in order to receive light which is reflected from the at least one thread when said at least one thread is illuminated;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- receive data from the light detection system, and determine the position of the thread in relation to the at least one discharge device and/or at least one of the nozzles based on the received data.
A method for providing in-line treatment of at least one thread, comprising:
- providing a treatment unit comprising at least one discharge device comprising at least two nozzles, arranged at different positions relative the at least one thread, said at least one thread being in motion in use, each nozzle being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread when activated;
- providing a light detection system for illuminating the at least one thread in order to receive light which is reflected from the at least one thread when said at least one thread is illuminated, and
- providing a control unit configured to receive data from the light detection system, and
