    Joula Laser Needle Controller

Introduction

 

Bent or broken needles are an inevitable problem in circular knitting machines, leading to wasted fabric. Therefore, a precise and reliable device is needed to detect these needle faults and increase production efficiency by issuing a reliable stop command when faults occur. To empower the circular knitting industry, Joula has developed a knowledge-based product that accurately detects bent or broken needles using state-of-the-art LIDAR technology.

Units

 
 
Laser Head

The laser head detects needles accurately using state-of-the-art LIDAR technology and transfers data to the processing unit through a cable.

 
Process and Display Unit

The process unit analyses transduced data of the laser head to be able to detect broken or Bent needles using a reliable method that guarantees minimum possible false alarms and maximum possible fault detection. The display unit illustrates needle conditions, the rotation velocity of the machine, and other useful data. Users can enter required data such as the total number of needles, cut-line, and pattern in the machine using user-friendly menus.

 
Easy to Install Fixture

The specially designed fixture consists of five parts which make it possible to install on a wide variety of circular knitting machines. The structure that is used guarantees easy adjustment of the laser head as well as reliable fastening.
