THE YARN QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM1 IntroductionThis paper was written to answer the questions which are asked frequentlyby our customers.2 Product related questions2.1 What type of sensing principles does USTER ®QUANTUM 3 offer?USTER ® QUANTUM 3 offers the choice of optical and capacitive sensingtechnologies for basic clearing. The foreign matter option can be added ontop of the basic capacitive or optical clearing.The available measuring head types are:• Capacitive – C15, C20• Optical – O30• Foreign matter – C15 F30 , C20 F30 or O30 F30• Polypropylene clearing – C15 F30 PP and C20 F30 PP2.2 How does the USTER ® QUANTUM 3 differ from competingproducts?The USTER ® QUANTUM 2 was until now the market leader and thebenchmark for high performance yarn clearing. The USTER ® QUANTUM 33, the successor, takes yarn clearing to a next level. The system was designedbearing the needs of a range of requirements starting from basicusers to the most sophisticated demands. It incorporates futuristic technologywhile at the same time being robust to withstand the challenging millenvironment.The core of the USTER ® QUANTUM is its smart clearing technology. Ithelps to eliminate the basic and most important challenge for spinnerswhich is the definition of the optimum clearing limit for a variety of yarnswith differing quality needs. USTER ® QUANTUM 3 has simplified the complexitiesof yarn clearing and enables valued users to easily and fully exploitall clearer capabilities, every day. The system learns and displays theyarn body (nominal yarn with its set of tolerable frequently occurring yarnfaults) in minutes and at the press of a button proposes a starting point forclearing limits with a cut forecast. Practically this is equivalent to having anUSTER ® specialist always beside to achieve the optimum results out of anyyarn application.USTER ® QUANTUM 3 5 (21)
