Truetzschler Introduces Improvements On Toyota-Truetzschler Comber TCO 12

Truetzschler has introduced improvements on its Toyota-Truetzschler Comber TCO 12 to enable monitoring of sliver quality, the company has announced. The Toyota-Truetzschler Comber TCO 12 is the only comber with integrated levelling system. This has been made possible by the multi drive concept.

The combed slivers are permanently monitored and the main draft in the drafting system is accordingly adapted. Thus, sliver count deviations due to differences in lap weight do not stand a chance, thus enabling quality management. The quality sensor of the levelling system also supplies the signal for permanent quality monitoring of sliver evenness. The results are displayed in form of graphs and spectrograms on the large touch screen.

TCO 12 is the only comber with automatic piecing optimisation. Correct setting of the piecing is a tedious process and requires a lot of time, know-how and laboratory capacity.On the Toyota-Truetzschler Comber TCO 12 all it takes is the push of a button. The machine automatically checks the area around the set value and evaluates the sliver quality. After just a few minutes the machine determines at which setting the optimal sliver evenness and a clean spectrogram is achieved.

It has also been made possible to transmit all quality data of the TCO 12 to its higher-level data monitoring and management system called T-DATA, which can be used for long-term analyses.
