USTER celebrates 50 years of progress in yarn quality 2015 USTER QUANTUM 3 50th anniversary 1999 USTER QUANTUM 2010 USTER QUANTUM 3 1990 1993 USTER POLYGUARD 5 1993 1995 USTER POLYMATIC USTER PEYER 551 2004 USTER PEYER 200F USTER QUANTUM 2 In 1965, spinners eagerly welcomed the first USTER yarn clearer for automatic winding machines. Some troublesome yarn defects could now be controlled, during processing, on the winding machine a truly revolutionary development at the time. That first USTER AUTOMATIC B1 clearer was the foundation for a continuing surge of technology, closely linked to the changing needs of spinners and their customers. So it s appropriate to celebrate its 50th anniversary, and its legacy of improving yarn quality standards worldwide. 1965 USTER AUTOMATIC B1 1985 USTER AUTOMATIC D5 Before 1965, USTER had already provided clearer solutions for manual winding. Innovations followed in stages: first only thick places in yarn could be detected, then thin places, then the NSLT classification still used today. Control of foreign fiber was a major advance, with the USTER PEYER CLEARER 200. 1960 USTER SPECTOMATIC A new era began in 1999 with the USTER QUANTUM yarn clearer family, which combined capacitive and foreign matter clearing and introduced the first computer-aided yarn clearing system (CAY). With USTER QUANTUM 2 in 2004, breakthroughs included polypropylene detection, the vegetable filter facility, and hairiness monitoring. 1955 USTER SLUB CATCHER In 2010, USTER QUANTUM 3 arrived. Advanced sensor technology, the YARN BODY display and Smart Clearing limits with push-button settings made it the biggest single leap forward in five decades of yarn clearing technology the spinners of 1965 would have been utterly amazed.

USTER QUANTUM 3 towards perfect fabric quality 2015 USTER QUANTUM 3 50th anniversary On the 50th anniversary of the first yarn clearer for automatic winding, USTER is introducing a Limited Edition USTER QUANTUM 3 packed with valuable new and well-established features for optimized yarn quality. Starting from ITMA 2015, these extras are available on a first-come-first-served basis for only 300 000 clearers. Limited Edition clearers will offer several novelties. Highlights include the following: Smart Limits: double-check with splice distribution Smart Limits are even smarter with the USTER QUANTUM 3 Limited Edition. The system automatically checks that clearing limits are aligned with splice distribution. Alarms indicate possible problems, for better quality and winder efficiency. Core Yarn Clearing Core yarn produced without the core elastane or when the elastane is off-center is a serious problem for downstream processes, potentially causing great waste of fabric. USTER QUANTUM 3 tackles this with the Core Yarn Clearing option. This uses unique USTER sensor combinations to identify when the core component is either missing (MC) 1 or off-center (OC) 2 at a significant level and over long lengths. The Core Yarn features are available with the Foreign Matter option only. 1 Feature to detect missing core with capacitive clearers (CF) 2 Feature for off-center core detection for all capacitive (CF) and optical clearers (OF) 3 Only with fore

Color and Shade Variation detection Color mix-ups and shade differences are big issues with mélange and colored yarns. USTER s advanced Foreign Matter Sensor can now detect these faults. The new Shade Variation (SV, CSV) feature with USTER QUANTUM 3 automatically detects a color or shade variation from the base yarn. Online hairiness measurement 3 Hairiness variations in yarn can cause cloudiness in finished fabric. USTER QUANTUM 3 Limited Edition offers online measurement of true yarn hairiness so outlier bobbins can be taken out. Mills with linked winders can also monitor the condition of rings and travelers. Advanced classification Some defects once regarded as tolerable are no longer acceptable today. USTER QUANTUM 3 Limited Edition now includes information on new advanced classes correlating to the USTER CLASSIMAT 5. Users can also customize classes and inspect specific defects. Connectivity to the Total Testing Center The integration of USTER QUANTUM EXPERT 3 is the link between USTER QUANTUM 3 Limited Edition and the Total Testing Center of USTER TESTER 6. This gives spinners a total mill overview, so they can trace quality exceptions by combining data from the clearer with all processes. To begin with, USTER QUANTUM 3 data in combination with laboratory data predicts the performance grade of the yarn in weaving.
