Basics of yarn clearing
Definition

Yarn clearing is replacing a disturbing defect

with a less disturbing splice
This means:
– Cut only where it improves quality or performance in downstream processes
– Make sure that the splice is better than the defect taken out

Uster Quantum 4.0 is built on three pillars: Security, Flexibility and Prevention.
This makes this clearer generation unique in combining the main sensor technologies to gain
higher performance in innovative yarn clearing.

Capacitive/Optical switch: Feature overview

Uster Quantum 4.0 combines capacitive and optical clearing in one only solution.
It’s possible to switch between the 2 different technologies at any time

• The user can select the best clearing mode

• Vegetable Filter, Core Yarn (optional), PP clearing
(optional) will be available also on Optical Clearing
• Is possible to produce every type of yarn and work in
any type of conditions
• When producing Conductive yarns, is possible to
enable the “Conductive yarn function”, which will use
Warning

The following functions are not available: PP, Vegetable Filter, Density, Cross clearing, MC, CMC.
only the optical sensor
Please check the corresponding settings.

• Any winder can produce any material, without being dedicated to special products (e.g., conductive yarn)
• Quality is always protected by any possible issue, regardless of the clearing technology used

Cross Clearing
Assistance between two measurement principles

Uster Quantum 4.0 can analyze and compare both the capacitive and optical signal at the same time.

• For the cross-clearing function, the

capacitive sensor is in the lead.
• After evaluating the yarn based on the
mass signal, a second evaluation takes
place utilizing the optical signal

• There is no need to define a second clearing limit, it simply needs to be selected a sensitivity level like open –
medium – close
• Cross clearing cuts will mainly happen under bad ring-spinning conditions.
• For instance, cross clearing cuts X can indicate that the cleaning on the ring spinning machine is overdue

Density: Feature overview

Combining the optical and capacitive signal, Uster Quantum 4.0 can
monitor the yarn density, both continuously and after every splice

• Different densities can be originated by

different twist levels in the yarn
• Other causes could be mix of compact and
non compact yarn or differences in the
compacting level
• Different yarn types and materials have
different densities as well

• Protects from mix-up of yarns with different twist levels

• Prevents issues deriving by malfunctioning of the compacting device
• Prevents mix ups of different materials or blends of same or different count in the winder

Swarm clearing - Feature overview

Swarm clearing detects faults that are in a certain area below the clearing limits. Those faults are not
disturbing as individuals but can cause fabric appearance issues due to their concentration on a short length.
• Fault concentration is avoided,
protecting the fabric appearance
• Detected faults can be thick / thin
places or Foreign Fibers
• Multiple defects can be eliminated
with a single cut, reducing overall
cuts (splices)
• Protects the final yarn quality
while reducing cuts (and splices)
at the same time
• Prevents issues in fabric
appearance, related to Swarm
events
