BTSR, developing technological solutions that enable automated industrial processes in yarn control, displayed HYPERFEEDER, the new concept Storage Feeder, and IRIDIUM, the new advanced clearer technology solution, as well as ‘BTSR PC-Link Web’ software web-based product line for production monitoring at ITMA 2023. The company exhibited its innovative solutions for the future needs of the market related to the yarn preparation industry and was met with great interest by the visitors.
BTSR Sales General Manager Angelo Rizzo noted that they had a great influx to their booth with a high interest of visitors focusing on new product releases. Rizzo evaluated the exhibition and afterwards with these words: “We have been very satisfied, and we have got a very satisfactory follow-up in the following months.”
BTSR’s HYPERFEEDER combines yarn feeding and storage control in a new concept
Supplying eye-catching change in the global textile market technological offer, BTSR presented HYPERFEEDER, a new concept multi-patented system able to guarantee a total combined yarn feeding and storage control. HYPERFEEDER represents the first ‘Positive Storage Constant Tension Feeder’ Concept, able to grant top-quality performances.
Angelo Rizzo said that they believe HYPERFEEDER will have a great impact in knitting sectors as well as hosiery and socks applications. Rizzo detailed the advantages of HYPERFEEDER: “The magnetic floating ring tensioning system allows fast and precise Closed-loop Control, by providing constant tension output also during discontinuous yarn absorption or fast speed variation. The main benefit is TOP Production Efficiency and Repeatability, based on the high-frequency magnetically controlled floating tensioning ring and output tension sensor closed-loop control system.”
Rizzo also stated that HYPERFEEDER’s other important features are Yarn Graduation Compression Capability (0,1 gr. resolution) – for technical textile applications (i.e. sock leg, seamless) and Tension Profile Function which automatically decreases or increases tension set-up according with the operation process phase. He disclosed: “Last but not least, HYPERFEEDER’s AUTO-LFA Function which auto-compensate Yarn LFA variation (i.e. due to fluff accumulation in the yarn finger), grants constant quality and prevents yarn mis-plating & breakage, with BTSR MATRIX TOUCH Touch-Screen terminal.”
Full control of yarn with IRIDIUM3D technology
BTSR provided IRIDIUM3D system with advanced technologies by increasing in performance of yarn diameter direct measurement and direct yarn speed measurement. Angelo Rizzo clarified that IRIDIUM3D clearer sensor is capable of detecting the image variation of the yarn being checked, thus identifying the occurrence of anomalies as well as the quality level of the yarn itself.
Rizzo also noted that the 3D image technique matches the CCD technology and analog technology to self-calibrating in real time, and controls the yarn independently from its position and even flat yarns in a wide area. Emphasizing that IRIDUM3D is fully programmable and can be easily adapted to quality control for a wide range of yarns/applications, Rizzo continued his words: “IRIDIUM3D does not require any contact with the yarn being checked, thus allowing perfect monitoring of the yarn without in any way affecting the yarn tension characteristics and dust and pollution generation.”
Besides IRIDIUM3D and HYPERFEEDER, BTSR developed specific software tools (PC-LINK product line) that are suitable for the concept of smart factories. Rizzo said that this tool is able to monitor the production with advanced graphic display from factory level to single position (device) performance by adding that it can also satisfy the most demanding Plant Managers needs in terms of data collection useful for the decision-making process.
“We have great expectations as Turkish companies are full of energy and inner resources”
Welcoming numerous Turkish customers at BTSR booth, Angelo Rizzo indicated that they had a very intensive influx of Turkish visitors, also thanks to the support of BTSR Exclusive Distributor and representative in Türkiye, Teksel Tekstil. Rizzo evaluated the Turkish market and opportunities in Türkiye: “We have great expectations, as Turkish companies are full of energy and inner resources and have always shown in the past to be able to face and overcome even the worst economic phases. And we strongly believe BTSR technology can represent an added value in terms of production efficiency and cost saving as well as top quality standards achievement, which represent the challenge to successfully compete on the worldwide market. In this process, we will continue to show that we can create more value for Turkish textile manufacturers together with Teksel Tekstil.”
