Ringframe Auto Piecing (RAP)

Ringframe Auto Piecing (RAP) is a fully automated yarn piecing system for ring spinning machine. The RAP receives information when there is a yarn break through YBS (Yarn Break Sensor) and travels to the particular spindle and automatically pieces the yarn instantly. Salient features

Higher Productivity due to automation of piecing
Consistent and Enhanced yarn quality
Lower dependency on manpower requirements
Shorter piecing cycle time around 35s
Patent protected technology

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 toavoid production losses. The Ring frame Auto Piecing (RAP) ensures auto piecing thus reducing the dependency on manpower. Increased Productivity Ring frame Auto Piecing (RAP) consistently works 24 x 7 around 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. RAP captures the broken end from the package in the 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 auto piecing ensures higher productivity. Precise Quality</strongRing frame Auto Piecing (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 retain the quality of the yarn. Flexibility The unique design of Ring frame Auto Piecing (RAP) is suitable for both type of spinning technology, Normal Ring Spinning and Compact Spinning. It works ease on all applications.
