Space Savings
This Smart Ring Frame is designed with a gauge length of 65 mm and occupies the lowest footprint and saves space of up to 8%.
Automation
The state-of-the-art automation includes the Ring rail drive, new Auto-doffer drive mechanisms and Suction unit with AWES.
RAP – Ring Frame Auto Piecing
Ring Frame Auto Piecing (RAP), the fully automated yarn piecing system for ring spinning machine, receives information on yarn break through YBS (Yarn Break Sensor) and travels to the particular spindle and automatically pieces the yarn instantly as a human does.
Manpower Savings
The biggest challenge faced by the spinning industry is shortage of skilled manpower, especially in Ring spinning. The piecer needs to be trained and skilled to do the piecing with lesser end mending time to avoid production losses. The RAP ensures auto piecing thus reducing the dependency on manpower.
Increased Productivity
RAP consistently works 24 x 7 throughout the year. The RAP unit receives signal from the YBS (Yarn breakage sensor) and travels directly to the respective spinning position and automatically mends the yarn as a human does. RAP captures the broken end from the package in a unique way without lifting the package, then inserts the yarn into the traveler and gets over pieced. The immediate attention to the broken end and the shorter auto piecing cycle time around 35 seconds ensures higher productivity.
Precise Quality
RAP ensures the consistent piecing length in the mended yarn. Auto Piecer also eliminates the contamination on the cop outer surface (through manual handling) which enhances and retains the quality of the yarn.
Flexibility
The unique design of Ring Frame Auto Piecing (RAP) is suitable for both types of spinning technology, Normal Ring Spinning and Compact Spinning. It works ease on all applications.
