No additional yarn tension regulation is necessary. The unit
is driven by a powerful brushless DC motor with microprocessor control. Sensors on the winding body monitor and
calculate the average yarn usage rate and adjust the motor
speed to the yarn consumption accordingly.

MSF 2: Components
1 Winding body
Integrated mechanical stop
Effective yarn separation makes
it possible to process all types
of yarn. The stationary winding
body prevents extra yarn windings and looping.
motion device (option)
If the yarn breaks, the stop motion device trips and stops the
knitting machine. Internchangeable unit with screw fitting.

2 Sensors
The sensors control the yarn
inlet (A), the feed rate (B) on
the winding body and the yarn
speed (C). The unit operates
continuously without starting
and stopping. The sensors are
the contactless type to prevent
voltage peaks.

Fitting the optional waxer to the
feeder eliminates the need for
any other yarn waxing process
that would be required before
commencing knitting.
The LMS 2 calculates the
yarn speed (m/min) and yarn
consumption (cm/revolution)
for each MSF 2 feeder together
with the GTS terminal.
