USTER QUANTUM 2 - OE Spinning Product Detail

Home / Products / Yarn Clearing / QUANTUM 2 / QUANTUM 2 - OE Spinning /

PRECISE AND RELIABLE – MADE BY USTER®

The USTER® QUANTUM 2 is the best-selling yarn clearer ever! This success is based on continuous development and adjustments to the needs of our customers, making USTER® QUANTUM 2 an indispensable tool in quality-oriented spinning plants all over the world.

USTER® QUANTUM 2 offers detection of white and colored polypropylene defects using the capacitive sensor, in addition to the detection of regular foreign fiber defects. USTER® QUANTUM 2 LAB Online comprising USTER® QUANTUM EXPERT central data management system, USTER® CAY optimization software, true hairiness measurement, USTER® CLASSIMAT Online and Vegetable Filter, offers unique capabilities that will significantly enhance the quality and consequently the value of your yarns.

  ADVANCED SENSORS – UNBEATABLE ACCURACY

USTER® QUANTUM 2 – The only online quality assurance system that offers you the choice of two sensors for basic clearing. We use capacitive sensors both in the USTER® QUANTUM 2 and in our laboratory equipment – and this for good reason: they are around twice as sensitive as optical devices and enable detection of the smallest yarn faults and irregularities.

The USTER® QUANTUM 2 optical sensor technology is based on Peyer, a pioneer in optical clearers. The short measuring field, high signal to noise ratio sensor, offers higher detection rate, accuracy and lower unjustified cuts compared to conventional optical clearers.


 

  Q DATA – ASSURED QUALITY,
MAXIMIZED PRODUCTIVITY


The most important tool for online quality assurance includes
• Unevenness monitoring (CV% alarms)
• Imperfections monitoring (IP alarms)
• Classification-Numeric and as scatter plot (CMT alarms)
• Pearl chain channel for periodic defects (PC alarms)

USTER® QUANTUM 2 offers the scatter plot of yarn fault events on the clearer control unit (CCU 2006) in color! With this illustration, users can adapt their clearing limits according to the basic yarn profile, ensuring consistent quality and cuts day and night.

The quality values correlate closely to the USTER® TESTER 5 and USTER® CLASSIMAT QUANTUM, allowing a continuous quality assessment for 100% of the production. Quality exceptions in each category can be eliminated from production.

 

EXCEPTIONAL FOREIGN FIBER DETECTION

With the most powerful illumination and high sensitivity, the USTER® QUANTUM 2 FF-Option can detect even single foreign fibers of very low visibility. The ultrashort measuring field detects and classifies single colored fibers of the widest color spectrum. The freely programmable help points offer the best possibility to optimize quality according to different end user needs. Foreign fiber classification according to the internationally accepted USTER® FOREIGNCLASS helps to assess raw material quality and implement systemic improvements in purchase and quality. With the release of the new USTER® STATISTICS for foreign fibers, USTER® QUANTUM 2 users can benchmark quality levels to international standards.

 
VEGETABLE FILTER –
HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY WITH MAINTAINED QUALITY

USTER® QUANTUM 2 enables you to differentiate between organic and non-organic foreign matter. Vegetables, which are organic, can only be detected with a combination of capacitive and optical sensors, a unique feature of the USTER® QUANTUM 2. Since vegetable foreign matter disappears in the bleaching process, it has no affect on appearance and can stay in the yarn. The result is better foreign matter clearing thanks to a significant reduction in the number of cuts and splices, permitting closer clearing limits.


POLYPROPYLENE DETECTION – COLOR DOES NOT MATTER

USTER® QUANTUM 2 addresses one of major reasons for claims in spinning mills: reliable detection and removal of white or colored polypropylene fibers.

The polypropylene detection is based on a unique measuring technique utilizing the capacitive measuring principle, patented by USTER®. The system even ensures detection of white and transparent polypropylene, because the only color that matters is the one you can not see.


 

  USTER® CAY – INTELLIGENT OPTIMIZATION OF QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITY

USTER® CAY – Computer-Aided Yarn clearing – for intelligent and objective optimization of clearing limits. All relevant information of each defect can be displayed on screen – immediately after winding. Simulation of yarn defects in different fabric constructions open up new possibilities for visualization and quality optimization. Based on online quality data, woven or knitted fabrics can be simulated and compared with other fabrics.


USTER® QUANTUM EXPERT
ALL QUALITY DATA AT A GLANCE

USTER® QUANTUM EXPERT monitors and records the quality and production parameters 365 days a year for 100% of your production. As the central information system, it filters the exceptions from the flood of data and reduces it to the absolutely essential. Analysis of trends between hours to years is easily possible.

 
USTER® CLASSIMAT QUANTUM ONLINE
CLASSIFY THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION

With the USTER® CLASSIMAT QUANTUM Online, you can also classify all quality data online, i.e. 100% of the produced yarn, compare this data with the integrated USTER® STATISTICS and record it in quality reports that are recognized worldwide. Classification per single winding or spinning position, customized classes, customer statistics and enhanced foreign fiber classes enable you to make your yarn unique.



HAIRINESS MONITORING –
MEASUREMENT OF TRUE HAIRINESS


Variations in hairiness in a section of yarn result in an unacceptable cloudy appearance and loss of quality in the subsequent finishing.Thanks to online measurement of true hairiness with the USTER® QUANTUM 2, early monitoring of each ring spinning machine is possible. Spinners can produce yarn of consistent quality – for better appearance in the end product and improved processing efficiency.


 

  USTER® QUANTUM LAB ONLINE– 
THE UPGRADE TO TOTAL QUALITY
 

The USTER® QUANTUM LAB Online options package (CAY®, QUANTUM EXPERT, CLASSIMAT Online and USTER® HAIRINESS) helps to realize the full benefits of USTER® QUANTUM 2. The entire production is monitored for quality exceptions on the same basis as the USTER® laboratory standards. This simply means testing your entire production for exceptions according to your quality specifications. LAB Online is the upgrade to Total Quality, the quality management model of the future.
