Boosting reliability and cost efficiency in the textile industry

Synthetic fibers make up a growing proportion of fiber production worldwide, with no finite limitations for production capacities. The continuous availability of crude oil in sufficient quantities will further grow the production capacity and hence cater for the increasing needs of a rapidly growing world population.

For decades, Siemens has proven to be a reliable partner for drive and automation solutions, the use for extruders, spinning pumps, godets, texturizers, and take up winders.

With an automation solution from Siemens, you benefit from the following:

• Complete solutions from a single source, from the drive and automation system through project development, coordination, configuration and control cabinet design, all the way to commissioning.
• Avoide production downtime through on-time servicing and a 24hrs worldwide technical support.
• Reduced configuration and commissioning cost due to Totally Integrated Automation, a uniform tool for configuring converters, and a remote maintenance and error diagnostics by means of teleservice.
• Customer specific developments of synchronous motors with additional squirrel cage for high precision speed setpoint operation based on U/F diagram. The possibility for a bulk inverter operation.
• Development of cost-effective customer specific drives for machine manufacturers with integrated technology, e.g. dancer control.

Whether pure cotton or joint fabric, staple fibers are still the backbone in the textile industry. The most part of the product “yarn” is manufactured using conventional spinning procedures. The manufacturing process starts by supplying the fabric in bales - no matter if made of cotton or synthetic fiber. The process chain goes through a bale opener, tuft feeder, mixer, carding machine, draw frame, comber and flyer and finally gets to the actual spinning process.

Much has changed during the past decades. In addition to the conventional ring spinning process, further procedures such as compact spinning and rotor spinning are also used today.

The interaction of different drives and transmission elements in modern Yarn production, places high demand on drives and automation. Single axis solutions and intelligent drive concepts in combination with our controllers form a consistent concept. With an automation solution from Siemens, you benefit from the following:

• Suitability for use in the spinning room through flow-through or cold plate cooling.
• Cost-effective complete solution through proven, customized products/systems through optimized automation of the machine.
• Low space requirement and reduced number of components through compact converter and dual-axis modules through multi-axis drive control.
