After evaluating the yarn over a few kilometers, thesystem proposes an optimum starting point for the clearing limits consideringthe yarn body, experience and requirements. At the same time the systempredicts the number of cuts per 100 km to be expected for the definedlimit. This is available at the touch of a button.In case the default starting point has to be changed for some reasons, userscan simply choose from a range of closer or more open limits each timelooking at the cuts that should be expected for the setting.Thus the optimum setting is based on the smart limits within a short timeAccording to the quality level of the end user required, the settings can beselected more open or close.12 (21) USTER ® QUANTUM 3
