4 Quality that pays o FX technologies for perfect drum winding PreciFX: individual, flexible package design Reproducible package quality at the touch of a button Dye packages: perfect build for great dyeing results Hard packages: unwinding reliability and eiciency in knitting, warping and weaving Spliced joints indistinguishable from the parent yarn 4 AUTOCONER X5 REWINDING TECHNOLOGY

5 Better processes thanks to better packages Made-to-measure packages Essential Autoconer quality factors Slim down your processes, increase your eiciency The Autoconer X5 rewinding technology makes it easy for you to comply with all conceivable requirements for ideal quality packages. Better adaptation to the subsequent process means more reliable and more economical downstream processing and cuts down on the number of process steps. In short quality that pays o. Your quality edge: Autoconer X5 drum winding with FX technologies Autoconer X5 drum winding has established itself worldwide as the quality standard for hard and dye packages. With the unsurpassed technology modules of the FX series for yarn tension control, antipatterning, flank accuracy and precision length measuring, top quality winding results can be achieved even with random winding of the Autoconer X5 drum winding. Increased freedom with PreciFX: individual package design Thanks to software-controlled yarn displacement, PreciFX oers even more options to accurately adjust package format, package structure and package design to the requirements of downstream processing in a completely individual and flexible way, without compromise. Reproducible package quality All lot data, machine parameters and winding parameters for up to 30 lots are stored in the Informator and can be transferred via USB stick. Your benefits: immediate access, quick set-up, quality-assured production. Eicient automatic yarn clearing Imperfections in the yarn are reliably identified and cleared. You can set the clearing level as required so as to avoid unnecessary yarn waste. (Not available for type S) Flexible Schlafhorst splicing and knotting technology In case of clearer cut, yarn break or feed change, the yarn ends are automatically firmly connected with a spliced or knotted joint. This greatly reduces personnel input and ensures reproducible quality, indistinguishable from the parent yarn. With the modular splicer concept and rapid central settings you remain flexible.

6 Dye packages with individual design Reproducible quality Maximum process optimisation with PreciFX Dye packages with absolutely homogenous package build for outstanding dyeing results Individual package design for shorter and more eicient dyeing processes The sought-after quality standard for dye shops For decades the Autoconer with drum winding has been the synonym for quality dye packages with random winding that comply with the high requirements placed on an eicient dyeing process. With Autoconer winding technology you can create dye packages with continuously reproducible quality characteristics. PreciFX gives process optimisation at the touch of a button Each process and each dyeing installation is individual. With PreciFX you can produce your dye packages precisely for the requirements of your process chain, absolutely pattern-free in terms of build and structure. Thanks to the more flexible combination of winding parameters, you benefit from increased productivity. Soft flanks for absolutely uniform dyeing PreciFX eliminates the exact, very restricted package flank. You can vary the softness of the edge areas with software-controlled yarn laying. This ensures a uniform flow of the dye bath. Round flanks eliminate a process step PreciFX allows you to directly wind dye packages with round flanks. The mechanical edging that is otherwise frequently required can be eliminated and the excellent package structure is maintained. Constant density with precision and step-precision winding With precision and step-precision winding, you configure a very uniform hole structure during package build simply by selecting the angle of displacement, the yarn distance, and the winding ratio. Central setting of precise cradle contact pressure The central setting of the cradle contact pressure ensures maximum precision of package density from package to package, exactly reproducible at all times. 6 AUTOCONER X5 REWINDING TECHNOLOGY

7 Added value for knitting, warping and weaving Economical package formats Precise waxing Large format package with high package density Material: CO / Elastane, Ne 8, weight 5 kg Individual package design for optimised unwinding behaviour Eiciency and cost-eectiveness in warping and weaving With FX technology modules from Schlafhorst you can create processoptimised, high-quality hard packages that oer convincing unwinding reliability when subject to high take-up speeds and constant powerful load changes. The optical precision length measuring system Ecopack FX helps you to reduce length deviations to less than 1 %. The excellent spliced joints, virtually indistinguishable from the parent yarn, are another important benefit of the Autoconer X5 packages for warping and weaving. Increased productivity with PreciFX With individual control of package density, package diameter and package format, you increase the productivity in warping and weaving operations, e.g. to achieve a particularly high package volume when using large biconical packages or tapered packages that are filled with additional yarn on the side of the smaller diameter. The selectable configuration of the flank areas reduces the yarn load at the reversal points. Dreaded yarn and edge breaks in downstream processing occur much less frequently. Autoconer X5 sought-after knitting packages With the Autoconer X5 you can produce eicient quality packages for knitting applications: Tapered package format Uniform waxing of yarns Relatively large package format Uniformly wound lengths on packages For tapered package formats 4 20 or 5 57, the Autoconer X5 oers special winding drums with asymmetric groove geometry. With PreciFX you can easily adjust this on the Informator with-out having to change the hardware. Autotense FX allows precise, material-specific waxing. This reduces yarn breaks caused by excessive load on the yarn and increases eiciency during knitting. AUTOCONER X5 REWINDING TECHNOLOGY 7

8 Intelligent control and automation Individual selection of level of automation for feed, yarn clearing, splicer and X-Change package doer Simple operation at interactive Informator Plug & Wind for fast maintenance and conversion 8 AUTOCONER X5 REWINDING TECHNOLOGY

9 Cost-eective processes, individual function configuration Individual automation level Maximum eiciency Individually selecting and combining automation level for package feed Choose the right level of automation for your task from type S (manual) to type K (ergonomically automated). Types E, K and RC can be combined in sections in a machine. X-Change doer, the all-rounder The X-Change package doer minimises or even eliminates manual interventions during package doing. It oers maximum doing capacity and flexibility as well as a variety of clever automated functional sequences. The X-Change doer automatically processes dierent package formats with no mechanical changeover. Plug & Wind: flexible, future-oriented technology With single drives, Plug & Wind technology and a CAN Bus concept with virtually unlimited capacity, the Autoconer X5 oers all options for successful textile business. Because today s niche application can be a standard solution tomorrow. You will be able to expand the Autoconer X5 to your requirements quickly and economically in future too. Lightning-fast conversion, rapid maintenance Short conversion times and optimal ease of maintenance pay o every day. Component handling with the Plug & Wind technology could hardly be easier. Central settings, for instance for contact pressure (optional), splicer, tensioner and yarn tension, reduce set-up time tremendously and minimise error sources. Interactive operator prompting at the Informator, easy data transfer The touchscreen of the Informator guides the user step-by-step through the configuration process, in several selectable languages. The clearly laid out interface with images, symbols and input screens is easy to understand. The Informator can be locked and thus protected against unauthorised changes. Data and parameter storage on a USB stick makes it possible to import the lot data again at a later point or to simply transfer it to other machines. AUTOCONER X5 REWINDING TECHNOLOGY 9
