Loepfe Brothers Ltd. with its optical yarn clearers has revolutionized quality control in the textile industry. Today, Loepfe is the world-wide leading manufacturer and solution partner for electronic online quality assurance systems. Machine manufacturers as well as spinning mills and weaving mills around the globe use Loepfe technology from Switzerland.
Spinning Solutions
Loepfe guarantees 100% quality monitoring for winding and open-end spinning mills. The optoelectronic yarn clearers have made history. The measuring principle comes closest to the assessment by the human eye. A technological top performance at speeds of two thousand meters per minute is achieved.
The quality of Loepfe YarnMaster yarn clearers is unique. They ensure reliability and top efficiency in online classification of faults. The universally usable sensors detect smallest faults and achieve reliable results under all production conditions. One sensing head is sufficient for covering a large yarn count range. All these data are sent to MillMaster TOP. The systematic evaluation shows the reliable path to process optimization. The control ensures the quality of the end product and thus the success of the manufacturer.
Laboratory Solutions
Loepfe’s laboratory test instruments follow a new ground-breaking philosophy. Loepfe made the lab processes more efficient by integrating various textile test procedures in one laboratory system – with regard to time, resources and result analysis. Loepfe thereby meets the demand for more efficiency in textile laboratories. The all-in-one-principle of Loepfe LabMaster automates the complete test procedure, reduces space requirements, maintenance, service and operator staff.
Test instruments for fibers and yarns are basic components of every textile laboratory. With the unique integration of various measurements in one system, Loepfe supports the decision process in the spinning mill, from fiber processing up to the finished yarn. All measured data are transferred to LabMaster TOP. The fast access to all data simplifies analysis and evaluation in reports which considerably facilitates the work of the decision-makers.
Weaving Solutions
Loepfe is accredited supplier of all well-known weaving machine manufacturers. Loepfe’s WeftMaster is the leading technology and always sets new standards. In addition to countless proven products, there are always innovative new developments which increase quality and productivity. The optical yarn fault sensor FALCON-i is a new, path-breaking innovation for weaving and spinning mills. It detects and removes even the smallest knots, fluff and filamentation. In the production of high-tech woven fabrics, the installation of the optical sensor ensures a more efficient zero-defect production. Loepfe develops tailor-made overall solutions for machine manufacturers that ensure 100% weft thread insertion. Thanks to Loepfe know-how and Loepfe master technology, weaving mills have their production under control.
