ISM
Saurer Individual Spindle Monitoring
An individual optical spindle sensor monitors every spindle at all times. Detecting the movement of the ring traveller it controls continuously the status and spindle speed of each yarn position. In the event of a yarn break, the ring traveller stops and no longer passes by the sensor.
From the touch screen control unit it is easy to manage settings and options. The sensor automatically adjust by itself the best working parameters.
All the data collected from the sensors can be delivered to Saurer mill management system (Senses) to have a complete view of the Spinning Department in real time.
ISM can also be connected to the roving stop system to stop the roving feed in case of a yarn break.

Your advantages at a glance:
- Continuous production monitoring
- Reduced personnel costs thanks to higher
spindle allocations - Optimization of the working environment thanks
to smart signalling system providing a visual
indication of the occurrence of yarn breaks - Avoid low twist for 100% of the spindles
- Zero-maintenance product
- Available for 68.75 and 75 mm gauge
- Automatically energy reduction by decreasing
the LED intensity:
auto limitation of power supply when more than
12 yarn breaks per section - Robust system:
LED lights are installed directly in the PCB card - Super fast detection and communication:
detect the yarn breaks in less than 1 second
(roving stop activates immediately)
