Solution Overview

Problem

Existing yarn threading technologies face instability due to inadequate control of suction force, leading to issues like yarn swaying, breakage, or failure in properly threading onto elements, as the suction force is either too small or too large.

Innovation Solution

A yarn threading robot equipped with a controller to adjust the suction force of a sucking retaining unit using compressed fluid, allowing for precise control through an electro-pneumatic regulator, ensuring optimal tension during yarn threading processes.
