Why Attalus
The Attalus Fiber System® fills a manufacturing void by providing on line information that to this day has been lacking on both the product and process. The scope of the Attalus information extends from the fiber, to the machine, to the manufacturing process. This provides manufacturers with new information on the quality of the product as well as valuable process metrics on the performance of the machine and operators.
What makes the Attalus System unique is its innovative electromagnetic sensor technology used to obtain never before seen online information in real-time. What makes the Attalus System powerful is its software, analysis tools, and reports. With consolidated, meaningful, real-time information and reports, operators and managers can act decisively to affect change that results in increased productivity, revenue, quality, and reduced costs.
Advantages
Single and Innovative Sensor Solution
Attalus innovative electromagnetic technology requires only one sensor to obtain information on items such as:
- Denier variation
- Spin finish variation
- Bulk variation
- Node count
- Node quality
- Winder issues
- Thread presence
This reduces the number of sensors needed for a faceplate thus reducing the number of contact and tension points.
Powerful Analysis Tools
The Attalus System provides signals specific to certain product and process faults. The Attalus System identifies and "fingerprints" these faults thus allowing manufacturers to alarm on specified faults.
Proven and Robust
Since 1999, the Attalus Fiber System has been installed in multiple plants in North America, Europe, and Asia. The Attalus System is being used by manufacturers in various yarn segments ranging from textile and texturized yarn, to carpet and industrial yarn.
Maintenance Free
Conventional optical sensors require regular maintenance to clean the sensor to prevent signal drift. The Attalus sensor self cleans as the fiber runs over the sensor element.
