Better processes thanks to better packages

Slim down your processes, increase your efficiencyThe Autoconer X5 rewinding technology makes it easy for you to comply with all conceivable requirements for ideal quality packages. Better adaptation to the subsequent process means more reliable and more economical downstream processing and cuts down on the number of process steps. In short quality that pays off.

Your quality edge: Autoconer X5 drum winding with FX technologies Autoconer X5 drum winding has established itself worldwide as the quality standard for hard and dye packages. With the unsurpassed technology modules of the FX series for yarn tension control, anti- patterning, flank accuracy and precision length measuring, top quality winding results can be achieved even with random winding of the Autoconer X5 drum winding.

Increased freedom with PreciFX: individual package designThanks to software-controlled yarn displacement, PreciFX offers even more options to accurately adjust package format, package structure and package design to the requirements of downstream processing in a completely individual and flexible way, without com- promise.

Reproducible package qualityAll lot data, machine parameters and winding parameters for up to 30 lots are stored in the Informator and can be transferred via USB stick. Your benefits: immediate access, quick set-up, quality-assured production.

Efficient automatic yarn clearingImperfections in the yarn are reliably identified and cleared. You can set the clearing level as required so as to avoid unnecessary yarn waste.(Not available for type S)

Flexible Schlafhorst splicing and knotting technologyIn case of clearer cut, yarn break or feed change, the yarn ends are automatically firmly connected with a spliced or knotted joint. This greatly reduces personnel input and ensures reproducible quality, indistinguishable from the parent yarn. With the modular splicer concept and rapid central settings you remain flexible. (Not available for type S)

Made-to-measure packages Essential Autoconer quality factors


Dye packages with individual design

The sought-after quality standard for dye shopsFor decades the Autoconer with drum winding has been the synonym for quality dye packages with random winding that comply with the high requirements placed on an efficient dyeing pro-cess. With Autoconer winding technology you can create dye packages with continuously reproducible quality characteristics.

PreciFX gives process optimisation at the touch of a buttonEach process and each dyeing installation is individual. With PreciFX you can produce your dye packages precisely for the requirements of your process chain, absolutely pattern-free in terms of build and structure. Thanks to the more flexible combination of winding parameters, you benefit from increased productivity.

Soft flanks for absolutely uniform dyeing PreciFX eliminates the exact, very restricted package flank. You can vary the softness of the edge areas with software-controlled yarn laying. This ensures a uniform flow of the dye bath.

Round flanks eliminate a process stepPreciFX allows you to directly wind dye packages with round flanks. The mechanical edging that is otherwise frequently required can be eliminated and the excellent package structure is maintained.

Constant density with precision and step-precision windingWith precision and step-precision winding, you configure a very uni-form hole structure during package build simply by selecting the angle of displacement, the yarn distance, and the winding ratio.

Central setting of precise cradle contact pressureThe central setting of the cradle contact pressure ensures maximum precision of package density from package to package, exactly repro-ducible at all times.

Maximum process optimisation with PreciFX


Efficiency and cost-effectiveness in warping and weavingWith FX technology modules from Schlafhorst you can create process- optimised, high-quality hard packages that offer convincing unwinding reliability when subject to high take-up speeds and constant power- ful load changes. The optical precision length measuring system Ecopack FX helps you to reduce length deviations to less than 1 %. The excellent spliced joints, virtually indistinguishable from the parent yarn, are another important benefit of the Autoconer X5 packages for warping and weaving.

Increased productivity with PreciFXWith individual control of package density, package diameter and package format, you increase the productivity in warping and weaving operations, e.g. to achieve a particularly high package volume when using large biconical packages or tapered packages that are filled with additional yarn on the side of the smaller diameter. The selectable configuration of the flank areas reduces the yarn load at the reversal points. Dreaded yarn and edge breaks in downstream processing occur much less frequently.

Autoconer X5 sought-after knitting packagesWith the Autoconer X5 you can produce efficient quality packages for knitting applications: Tapered package format Uniform waxing of yarns Relatively large package format Uniformly wound lengths on packages

For tapered package formats 420 or 557, the Autoconer X5 offers special winding drums with asymmetric groove geometry. With PreciFX you can easily adjust this on the Informator with-out having to change the hardware.

Autotense FX allows precise, material-specific wax-ing. This reduces yarn breaks caused by excessive load on the yarn and increases efficiency during knitting.

Cost-effective processes, individual function configuration

Individually selecting and combining automation level for package feedChoose the right level of automation for your task from type S (manual) to type K (ergonomically automated). Types E, K and RC can be combined in sections in a machine.

X-Change doffer, the all-rounderThe X-Change package doffer minimises or even eliminates manual interventions during package doffing. It offers maximum doffing ca-pacity and flexibility as well as a variety of clever automated functional sequences. The X-Change doffer automatically processes different package formats with no mechanical changeover.

Plug & Wind: flexible, future-oriented technologyWith single drives, Plug & Wind technology and a CAN Bus concept with virtually unlimited capacity, the Autoconer X5 offers all options for successful textile business. Because todays niche application can be a standard solution tomorrow. You will be able to expand the Autoconer X5 to your requirements quickly and economically in future too.

Lightning-fast conversion, rapid maintenanceShort conversion times and optimal ease of main-tenance pay off every day. Component handling with the Plug & Wind technology could hardly be easier.

Central settings, for instance for contact pressure (optional), splicer, tensioner and yarn tension, re-duce set-up time tremendously and minimise er-ror sources.

Interactive operator prompting at the Informator, easy data transferThe touchscreen of the Informator guides the user step-by-step through the configuration process, in several selectable languages. The clearly laid out interface with images, symbols and input screens is easy to understand. The Informator can be locked and thus protected against unauthorised changes. Data and parameter storage on a USB stick makes it possible to import the lot data again at a later point or to simply transfer it to other machines.
