Automation with Rieter
SERVOtrail
Automation in the ring spinning mill is a worldwide trend. By means of an
optimal material flow between roving frame and ring spinning machine,
quality improvement and higher production with consecutive personnel
savings are achieved by the manual, semi-automatic and fully-automatic
SERVOtrail transport systems.

transfer, dependable
tube cleaning, rails that
do not become dirty
and easy storage are a
matter of course with
Rieter SERVOtrail.
In the spinning preparation through to the roving
frame, a qualitatively superior roving is produced
with Rieter machines. Unfortunately, the roving
frame bobbins are then often treated inexpertly.
They are stacked up on top of each other in the trolley
for intermediate storage. Consequently, the top
layer of the soft-turned roving is partially damaged
and soiled. This loss in quality of the roving bobbins
has a negative effect on the subsequent process.
Perfect material flow from roving frame to the spinning
machine
With a Rieter SERVOtrail system the ring or compact
spinning machines are perfectly supplied with the
roving frame bobbins – without compromising on
quality. The roving frame bobbins are not touched
on the surface but the inner tubes are held and are
thereby moved into the ring spinning machine without
any damage occurring. This ensures that the previously
achieved quality of the roving is also maintained
between the roving frame and the ring spinning machine.
Flexible automation stages – according to requirements
Rieter offers manual, semi-automatic and fully-automatic
transport systems for the material flow between
roving frame and ring spinning machine. According to
requirements, Rieter customers can select the level
of automation that is most suitable for their spinning
plant. For spinning plants with primarily the same
assortment range, the Rieter SERVOtrail continuous
is suitable. For frequent changeovers of fiber mix
in the plant, the Rieter SERVOtrail flexible is beneficial.
With the help of profitability analyses, Rieter
can calculate for the customers the return on investment
and thereby supports customers in evaluating
the most suitable transport system.
Open and easy to clean
In textile machine engineering, soiling in the spinning
plant is one of the greatest challenges. Fiber
fly and fluff intrude everywhere, even in practically
closed profiles where the rollers are inside. For this
reason, Rieter decided in favour of using an open rail
profile for the SERVOtrail guide rails.
The advantages of the open profile are:
• The rails and trains in the ring spinning machines
are automatically cleaned by the traveling cleaner.
• The cleaning of the unit is possible during operation
without removal of parts.
• Inspections and maintenance are easy and quickly
made without removal of trains, as the elements
are visible and easily accessible.
