Abstract
A device to monitor a moving yarn for irregularities is described. A first sensor head (2) with a recess (6) and a second sensor head (3) with a recess (7) are arranged in the direction of yarn movement. The cross-sectional depth of the recess (7) in second sensor head (3) is deeper than that of the recess (6) of sensor head (2). It is therefore possible, for example, to record separately slubs and projecting fibers. The monitoring device can be automated and used for quality control of any type of yarn.
Claims6
A device for photo-electrically monitoring a moving yarn (1) for irregularities, consisting of sensor heads connected in series in the direction of yarn movement, in which a beam transmitter (4) and a beam receiver (5) are aligned with a first sensor head (2) and a beam transmitter (4') and a beam receiver (5') are aligned with a second sensor head (3), thereby characterized in that the first sensor head (2) is equipped with a recess (6) and the second sensor head is equipped with a recess (7), where the cross-sectional depth of the recess (7) of the second sensor head (3) is greater than the recess (6) of the first sensor head (2).
