A Replacement For The Skein Reel A Proven, Reliable Turn-key System

A Remarkable Cost SaverThe STC-4000 is the latest advancementin Cost Efficient-Highvolume test stations

So highly refinedand automated thatup to 10 yarn test and comparisons to standard are madesimultaneously.So complete in it’sdesign and softwarethat labor cost and opportunity for humanerror are almost com-pletely eliminated.So carefully appli-cation engineeredthat it’s designed for use in the productionarea.So State-of-the-Artthat it will obsoleteand out perform allother methods of yarn denier (Dtex)measurement anduniformity measurement

SimultaneousDenier/Interlace

Evenness TestingThe STC-4000 is a

revolutionary developmentbased on the FMS-8000

On-Line Monitoring System.

Proven MeasurementConcepts

STC used it’s patented andproven design of ultra

sensitive optical sensors to measure mass (denier) and

Interlace (nodes/ meter).The sensor measures yarnat a sampling rate of 16,384

samples per-second .

Additional Features are attained

by incorporating a secondcontrolled drive motor in theyarn transport system theDraw –Force measurementfeature was incorporated.

The addition of being able tochange the draw-ratio between

the two independently con-trolled transports also allowsthe ability to measure bulk

levels of some yarns.

A Process Management Tool More than a laboratory Instrument

• High

MeasurementsEach channel of the multi-

position STC-4000 produces a real-time graphic display of the variability which is presented onthe computer monitor with thenumerical data. If specified aneasily readable Digital Spect-rogram can be produced to

clearly show periodic defectsand their wave length.

Cost Saving are Numerous

Highly AccurateMeasurements +/- 1%

Correlate with All Traditional Test Methods

Long Term Average Denieris computed as the mean of all

short term denier measurements inthe entire yarn sample.

Tolerance Limits tests are Performed at two levels.

Close limits for minor varia-tions and wider limits for

rejecting packages.

Hi Denier& Lo Denier Values within each sample areprinted out on the summary.

Denier Evenness %CV is measured by computing the Coefficient of Variation of allshort term denier values over

the entire yarn sample.

Long Term or Short TermDefects can be emphasized at

will by selecting high or lowsmoothing factors

Interlace nodes are measured and averaged overthe entire yarn sample nodes

per meter and the node intensity is reported

Automatic Quality Control Station The STC-4000 Fiber Quality Control Station is a high throughput and self-contained,

computer controlled production testing system which automatically performs a series of standard, objective, quality control tests on a very

large number of yarn samples per day. It is designed for around-the-clock use as part of the fiber production process…or as an incoming inspection

tool for fiber users.

When used in a fiber producing plant an STC-4000 can be used to:

Improve control of spinning Assure quality of final

production.Provide objective proof ofyarn quality to refute customer claims

When installed in a texturingor yarn processing plant, an

STC-4000 can perform qualityTests on sample packages so

as to:

Grade incoming shipments. Accept feeder yarn shipments. Reject feeder yarn shipments.

Predict textured yarn characteristics
