面临的挑战
为更好地及时响应客户的需求，Bishnu Texport Pvt. Ltd.决定自行生产空气包覆纱。从贸易公司向制造公司的转型并非一帆风顺，其中充满了各种挑战。该公司致力于一个雄心勃勃的目标——在缩短交货时间和 降低进口成本的同时实现同等甚至更高的质量。

为找到市场上最好的空气包覆纱机，Bishnu转向了丝丝姆。尽管有更便宜的替代产品，但该公司相信，对丝丝姆空气包覆纱机的原始投资将带来更高的投资回报率，而且更符合其“对质量零妥协”的理念。

解决方案
2012年，Bishnu在其位于印度北部德里附近的工厂引进了15锭丝丝姆 DP3-C空气包覆纱机。该工厂的工作 温度在3到45摄氏度之间变化，这对于生产10/10旦聚酰胺和氨纶超细纱来说是一个严峻的挑战。凭借合适的空调系统和丝丝姆专家的大力支持，Bishnu成功安装好了机器，并实现了顺利可靠的生产。

在2020年，该公司引进了90锭XENO-AC空气包覆纱机，是公认的高品质空气包覆纱品牌。

客户收益
XENO-AC机器的主要优势在于成品质量。从纱线质量到机器运行性能，再到卷装外观，一切都得到了优化。10年来，Bishnu及其客户一直享有稳定的卓越品质，公司的客户群也在不断壮大。

Bishnu目前正在向日本和斯里兰卡出口其空气包覆纱，并计划在日本长期开展业务。因此，公司计划 到2025年年底将其现有的丝丝姆空气包覆纱机的锭数增加至200锭。

In the fast-paced market of synthetic yarns, answering the ever-increasing customers’ demands in a timely manner is a crucial competitive advantage. Since 2002, the synthetic yarn manufacturer TURKTEX has excelled at finding newer, better, and faster ways to satisfy its customers’ demands, almost in no time. With SSM DP5-T, TURKTEX takes its competitiveness and mission towards customers to the next level.

The independent Turkish textile company, TURKTEX, focuses on the world of synthetic yarns, and is a brand of Turkuaz Tekstil San. ve Tic. A.Ş. group. Founded in 2002, in Bursa, Turkey’s textile hub, TURKTEX has relied on SSM texturing machines from the very beginning, enabling the company to respond to customers’ demands with innovative, fast and flexible solutions.

Due to its superior products, TURKTEX is now Turkey’s leading company in the high value-added continuous filament sector, especially for polyester (PES) and polypropylene (PP) yarns. Its production portfolio includes yarns for home textiles (such as curtains, upholstery, mattress ticking and carpets), fashion, automotive fabrics as well as yarns for technical applications, outdoor and military. Besides supplying the local market, the company exports its products to more than 30 countries.

The largest portfolio to meet customers’ demands at any time
TURKTEX has the ambition to become the Amazon of yarns, that is the biggest synthetic yarn retailer. With a huge portfolio including polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PES) in divergent forms (recycled, flame retardant and more), various final yarn counts up to 2 000 denier, each available in 50 different colors, the company is on track to succeed.

DP5-T: the right solution to handle large assortments
In order to provide its huge range of yarns with short lead times, TURKTEX is dependent on reliable, fast, flexible and easy-to-use machines that are also quick and simple to maintain.

SSM machines have proved to be the perfect solution. In 2020, TURKTEX acquired the last SSM texturing machine DP5-T to help the company meet the demand in Air Textured Yarn (ATY) made of PES and PP (Fig. 1). It then invested in a DP5-FT false twist-texturing machine to drive business in the Drawn Texturized Yarn (DTY) market as well.

Today, the company stores approximately 1 000 different recipes in its SSM DP5-T machines and changes around every other second day the settings of the spindles. Any recipe can be removed and put back into production without any quality or repeatability issues. With its individual drive concept, the DP5-T makes it easy to switch between recipes, an indispensable feature for TURKTEX as it responds to the ever-changing needs of its markets.

TURKTEX is very satisfied with SSM’s support, service and technicians. Plant Manager, Mr. Ömer Efendioğlu (Fig 2.), highlights: "SSM cares about our needs and supports us from the first negotiation to the commissioning of the machine and beyond."

Flexibility, fast response and excellent quality
TURKTEX has a strong internal textile research and development department which ensures innovative products. To make these products a reality in the desired quality, the company can count on SSM. Mr. Dündar Cetin (Fig. 3), owner and technical director of TURKTEX, is convinced that it is crucial to satisfy customers' requirements immediately and without delay. He states: "Always keeping promises and ensuring excellent quality is possible for us, thanks to SSM DP5-T."

Flexibility is another critical factor. While standard batches in the industry are usually over 2 tons, TURKTEX handles many small orders, as low as 50 kg. Changing raw material and parameters can be laborious, but with the DP5-T, it is easy for operators to switch between orders.

In summary, Mr. Cetin says: "I am really very happy about the cooperation with SSM because we follow the same values with our identical slogan: Flexible, Fast, Safe."

The Autoconer X6 is a globally recognized winding machine at the highest performance level, putting it on a par with all other Rieter machines. The winding machine serves as the final quality assurance in the ring and compact-spinning process and is key to the performance of the subsequent process stages.

The latest splicer generation OZ1 (Ne 20 to Ne 120 and finer) and OZ2 (Ne 3 to Ne 40) provides an optimum splice quality based on an open prism. When splicing cotton-based elastic core yarns, duo-core yarns and multi-core yarns, the open prisms are used in combination with the Elastosplicer. This has already been successfully introduced in vertically integrated mills.

The new Multilink system with Multilot offers maximum flexibility: Up to four ring spinning machines are linked to one Autoconer, with each ring spinning machine able to supply a different type of yarn.

With the integration of the Autoconer X6 into the Rieter system, the mill management system ESSENTIAL will open up over the coming years the potential for end-to-end transparency and optimization throughout all process steps.

The roving frame F 40 was already introduced to the market at ITMA 2019. A precise bobbin build-up in combination with a doffing time of 90 seconds only and the option of setting the drafting system electronically are convincing customers to invest in this machine in combination with Rieter systems.

SSM is presenting the NEO-YW precision winder which brings to bear SSM’s unmatched winding expertise into one easy-to-use and high-performing machine. NEO-YW will kick off its launch into the European market at ITM 2022.

Components for Higher Performance and Durability

The newly acquired Accotex and Temco brands are adding strength to the components family, which now includes Accotex, Bräcker, Graf, Novibra, SSM, Suessen and Temco. Rieter is presenting three key innovations at ITM.

Accotex’s new top and bottom aprons NO-79201 offer outstanding tear and abrasion resistance and superior friction properties. They can be applied universally, making service and stocking more efficient.

Temco’s intelligent bearing solution i-Bearing for filament machines allows condition monitoring online. By identifying critical conditions, bearings can be replaced before they fail which helps to minimize machine downtimes.

卷绕是纺织价值链中一个小而关键的工序。在这一工序中，纱线被紧密地卷绕在筒管上，为下一道生产工序做好准备。每一家纺纱厂都渴望能够加工出完美的卷装，以方便染色或织造等后道工序处理纱线。 

preciforce树立全新标杆
实现完美卷装的秘诀是要确保整个卷装达到一致的密度，这对于染色工序尤其重要。然而，这是一项表面看似简单，实则需在数十年专业知识的基础之上精心设计才能得以实现的工程成果。 

就在不久之前，卷绕系统还只能监测密度，而不能调节压力水平。SSM的preciforce改变了这一切，它能够调节背压力，使每一个卷装都能达到相同的密度。密度均匀的卷装可简化染色工序，进而实现更佳的染色效果。更为重要的是，染厂可节约能源和水资源，因为再也没有必要进行复染。而复染恰是不均匀卷装染色所无法避免的。 

致胜组合：preciforce与DIGICONE 2 
出色的密度均匀性确实重要，但控制成本同样意义重大。SSM公司的使命是帮助客户以尽可能低的成本和最少的浪费进行生产。卷绕是一套重复性操作，SSM工程师发现，对谷歌搜索和算法交易有用的办法对卷绕也一样行之有效，因为这些都是基于重复的连续性操作。他们开发了一种算法，以确保络筒机按照分步式程序，以最经济的方式实现紧密卷装。DIGICONE 2采用这种先进的卷绕算法开发，以确保实现最佳的卷绕精度。preciforce与DIGICONE 2构成了一个无懈可击的组合，能够以最经济的方式生产出卓越的卷装。

涤纶弹力丝 (拉伸变形丝) 于20世纪60年代问世，自那以后便成为了商品纱线。然而，随着时间推移，涤 纶纱已逐渐演化成为多种特种纱线，涵盖粗单丝旦数(dpf)到超细长丝，甚至超微细长丝。这些纱线可用于 生产具有超柔手感的轻质面料。

具有不同截面形状的长丝能够改善汗水蒸发，或赋予面料独特的光泽。另一种特种纤维是将功能性化学品 直接包覆在聚合物中，创造出具有附加性能的面料，例如添加抗菌性以达到除臭效果，或运用人体红外线 辐射以提高体温。此外，增加原液染色POY (预取向丝) 的用量可提高色牢度，同时还因无需后道染色而提 升环保性能。

所有这些特种纤维都是新的弹力丝标准，因此对变形丝厂提出新的挑战，例如需要更高的生产灵活性，因为更多的特种纤维意味着生产批次更多，但批量更小。凭借DP5-T，SSM已经在空气变形市场取得了强势领先地位；现在它又通过推出独具灵活性的假捻变形机DP5-FT (图1) 来稳固这一市场地位。

单锭独立机器理念带来完全的灵活性
整台40个锭位的DP5-FT可设置40套不同的工艺菜单。每个锭位几乎是一台独立假捻(FT)机，各自配备热箱、控制板，以及单独驱动的可编程电机。

无需投资购买功能相同的实验机。客户只需在DP5-FT上的一个或多个锭位上开展试验和打样。之后，这些 锭位还能重新用于正常生产，以尽可能提升效率，降低打样成 本。

单锭位理念还具有节能和提高生产效率的优势。与长轴机不同的是，在某一锭位不使用时，该锭位的能耗 降除，因为所有相关的电机都停止运转。此外，当达到特定的闲置时间后，还能启动节能功能，以降低热 箱和导丝辊的温度，从而大大提升节能效果。在运行的长轴机上，常常还能看到没有纱线的锭位，这是因 为已断头的缠绕纱线无法在机器运行时安全去除，或者是由于发生故障的锭位正在等待下一次停机。而单 锭位机器则没有以上限制，因为每个锭位可单独停止运行并立即维护，从而达到更高的机器效率。

最后但同样重要的是，对把人身安全作为首要目标的生产商，DP5-FT是他们的首选设备。因为在单锭位理 念下，每台电机的功率大幅减小，降低了挡车工受重伤的风险。

灵活提高产能
DP5-FT高度灵活性体现在最少可以仅购买五个锭位，因此是新进入弹力丝市场客户的理想解决方案。它在 弹力丝批次大小、种类和纱支方面带来完全的灵活性，此外还能更好地控制供应链。如果客户后期想提 高弹力丝产能，那么该机器可在不更改机头和使用同一个机器终端的情况下，接长至多达40个锭位。

全面控制和在不停机的情况下检查
S S M 变形机的一个独到之处是配备了加热导丝辊(图4), 用于弹力丝热定型，以获得所需的弹性。这在涤 纶弹力丝纱线生产中属于创新做法。友商机型上的管式热箱因长度原因，安装在机器后部平台下方。这样 一来，挡车工无法在生产中检查热箱，也不能定期拆卸内管进行清洁。在SSM变形机上，热定型导丝辊位于机器前部，因此可在不停 机的情况下，随时对整条丝路进行全面控制和检查。用导丝辊取代预定长度的管式热箱后，挡车工还能通过增加或减少导丝辊上绕纱圈数来调节热定型的时长。

SSM基于这一现代化的机器理念，为变形丝厂提供合适的工具，帮助厂商在竞争激烈的弹力丝特种纱市场中保持领先地位。

纱线以及卷装的多样性 - 特殊挑战
问题是：络筒机通常不能够直接生产出易于染色的卷装，这是由于存在粗支纱，低支纱，粗糙纱细，光洁纱线，圆柱形卷装以及圆锥形卷装 … 其原因数不胜数。优异的络筒机会将所有的参数都考虑进去，同时，能持续稳定地生产高品质卷装。一旦纱线卷装以不理想的方式卷绕，这种状况会导致下道工序出现问题，从而使得产品处于劣势。这种劣势会消耗大量的时间与金钱，这也正是竞争激烈的纺织行业的致胜要素。因此，SSM与著名的大学合作，开发出特定的纱线排列程序，无论何种纱线，均可使络筒机能够卷绕出完美的卷装。

以图像取代实验室测试
工程师们和数学家们选择特殊的方法，他们并不是测量纱线张力，线密度，材质以及纱线直径，并将这些参数集合至复杂的公式中，而是将SSM的专业知识转化为理论，这样做能够对筒子纱的结构以及密度分布精准预测。从数论中运用这些方法，最终专业技术人员能控制络筒过程中的“混乱动态系统”。

以这套算法为基础，开发出的DIGICONE®2算法能嵌入到络筒机控制系统软件中。通过络筒过程中的高速记录以及借助X线计算机层析成像技术，最终证实了SSM在这一项目上的成功（见对比图像）。结纶：相同结构的络筒机，之前并不总能卷绕出容易染色的筒子，而通过新的软件控制，则达到了这样的目的。

创新带来的竞争力优势
由于SSM与著名大学的合作，这一想法得以最佳地实施。Karaarslan说“DIGICONE®2算法使得我们能够在络筒机的市场上保持领先地位”。目前这种算法已经成功地运用在最新一代SSM机器上，顾客也已实质性地从中获益。

What’s a stable electricity supply?

An electricity supply is characterized by frequency, magnitude, waveform and symmetry of the three-phase-voltages. If the following disturbances exceed certain limits then the quality will be affected:

• main power shortages
• jitter light
• voltage variations
• frequency variations
• slow and rapid voltage changes (over-voltage, spikes)
• unbalance of three phase voltage
• harmonic distortion

An exact definition of a stable supply is given in the European Norm (ex. EN50160). SSM assures its machine function correctly if the norm is fulfilled.

How to test the electricity supply

To test if a supply is inside the norm you have to analyse your net over a long time. Variations over the seasons have to be taken into consideration (summer/winter influences etc.). Often a weekly analyse will give you sufficient information about your net. SSM can offer a short analyse of your net. Very often though consumers know their supply. Important are the amount of main power shortages and voltage variations.

How to connect the machine to the supply

A lot of errors can be avoided by connecting a machine correctly:

• Is the grounding system of the machine correct?
• Sufficient cross section of the supply pipe?
• Avoid connecting machines of different power classes to the same main distributor.

How to protect a machine

There are a number of devices that can help to protect a machine, e.g. UPS (unbreakable power interrupt), power stabiliser, flash protector, or net filter. It is important to choose the best and most economical solution. The beside checklist will help you to choose appropriate equipment.

The ratio between double strokes and number of revolutions is kept constant for a certain diameter range. The crossing angle varies only slightly within a range of ±1°. This results in an enhanced package density that does not change with increasing package diameter. So the building of pattern zones is avoided and the package maintains a stable structure without any ribbons. Due to this stable structure, the risk of complete layers “slipping off” during the unwinding process of dyed packages, as known with random winding, is completely eliminated.

The introduction of the XENO platform opened new possibilities for optimizing the winding algorithm. Thanks to this new machine platform, SSM could release DIGICONE® 2, enabling an increase of dye package density by another 10–24% with unchanged dyeing recipes.
