The application relates to the
polyester tow twist detection technical field and discloses a
polyester tow twist
detector, which comprises a fixing frame, a conveying mechanism, a first electric push rod and a limiting mechanism. The conveying mechanism is provided with two groups and is symmetrically arranged in the fixing frame. The
polyester tow twist
detector is provided with a camera and a limiting mechanism. The camera cooperates with an
image processor to realize
edge tracking of the tow. Compared with traditional
visual interpretation, the detection error of the untwisting angle is reduced, and the detection
repeatability is improved. The light supplement lamp ensures stable images within the illumination range, avoids environmental light interference, and integrates a
pressure sensor. When the first electric push rod and the second electric push rod push down the two groups of sleeves, the limiting plates and the limiting blocks at the ends of the two groups of sliding rods contact the tow, and the
pressure sensor monitors the pressure value in real time. The controller dynamically adjusts the
stroke of the first electric push rod and the second electric push rod, so that the clamping force is stabilized in a proper range, and the tow is prevented from being damaged.
