the spinning position. This means
that every spinning position is automated
– no more waiting time for
central automated units. For your
spinning mill this means ever higher
efficiency ratings, even for raw materials
that call for frequent piecing
or particularly stringent settings for
yarn quality monitoring. Even higher
rotor speeds are no taboo when
using this new technology.
Lot changing, the productivity
killer on previous rotor spinning
machines, can be carried out on the
Autocoro 8 during full production.
It changes the lots simply ‘flowing’;
one lot smoothly follows the other
without tedious and unproductive lot
completion and run-up of the new
lot. The same goes for test packages.
While some spinning positions
with Pilot Spin are producing different
test packages for your laboratory
and your
customers, the
other spinning
positions simultaneously
continue production
in an
entirely normal
manner. The
restrictions of
long machines
in terms of
take-up speeds
now also are
a thing of the
past. Thanks

the Autocoro 8. And when the new
Autocoro runs up, it does not take
hours until the machine has reached
full production, but only a few minutes,
for the Autocoro 8 realises runup
in just 20% of the time required
by centrally driven rotor spinning
machines.
The single drives and the digital
control on the Autocoro 8 offer entirely
new possibilities for spinning
mills in co-ordinating the quality of
yarns and packages precisely to the
requirements of their customers. It
goes without saying that the Autocoro
8 has DigiPiecing, the digitally
controlled piecing technology that
has been proven over many years in
the Autocoro S 360. A high piecing
quality, reproducibility and reliability
of piecing are thus guaranteed.
The package know-how gathered
by Oerlikon Schlafhorst during
more than five decades, the basis
of the leading position in winding
technology, is characteristic of the
new Autocoro 8, too. Package faults
such as blooming flanks, steps and
sloughing, which restrict productivity
in downstream processing, do
no longer exist with the Autocoro 8
with DigiWinding, nor do traverse
losses, which increase costs in spinning
as well as in knitting and weaving.
Weaving mills already love the
packages of the Autocoro 8, because
they have up to 50 per cent fewer
yarn breaks.
With the Autocoro 8, spinning
mills combine the cost efficiency
familiar from long machines with
the flexibility that short machines
offer them, because with the Autocoro
8 they produce up to five lots
simultaneously on one machine using
MultiLot. Thanks to single-drive
