Title:
MONITOR AND MALFUNCTION PREDICTOR FOR TEXTILE MACHINES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000060506
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A moving material, thread, yarn, fabric or wire (1), is directed to pass over a vibrating arm (2). The vibrating arm (2) is induced to vibrate due to contact with moving material (1). The Vibration information, amplitude and frequency, is conversion to an electrical analog of the mechanical vibration. In a preferred embodiment of this device, converted to electrical analog is produced by a hall effect sensor (3) due to changes in the magnetic field caused by vibrations of the steel vibrating arm (2) in proximity ofa magnet. The magnet is positioned below the hall effect sensor (3).
