Electronic Wrap Reel

Electronic Wrap Reel
An Electronic Wrap Reel is a precision instrument used in textile labs to prepare yarn hanks of a fixed length (usually 1 yard per wrap) for testing purposes like count, strength, and appearance. It automates the reeling process using an electronic counter and motor control.
Purpose
Electronic Wrap Reel:
To wind yarn into standard hanks (skeins) for count determination, strength tests, and dye testing.
Key Functions of
Electronic Wrap Reel:
Measures yarn length by controlled wraps
Ensures uniform tension and hank size
Allows setting of specific wrap counts
Applications Electronic Wrap Reel:
Yarn count analysis (Tex, Ne, Denier)
Strength testing
Yarn appearance grading
Dye lab sample preparation
Benefits of Electronic Wrap Reel:
Accurate Length Measurement- Ensures precise yarn length by counting wraps electronically.
Consistent Hank Size - Produces uniform skeins for reliable testing.
Time-Saving- Automates the winding process, reducing manual effort.
Adjustable Settings - Allows customization of wrap count for different test standards.
Reduced Human Error - Electronic counting minimizes mistakes in yarn preparation.
Improved Testing Reliability - Standardized samples enhance accuracy of subsequent tests.
Features of Electronic Wrap Reel:
Digital Wrap Counter - Clear display showing the number of wraps completed.
Variable Speed Control - Adjustable motor speed for delicate or coarse yarns.
Uniform Tension System - Maintains consistent tension to avoid yarn damage.
Auto Stop Function - Stops automatically when preset wrap count is reached.
Compact & Sturdy Design - Stable base with durable materials for long service life.
Easy Threading Path - Designed for quick and hassle-free yarn threading.
How to Use Electronic Wrap Reel:
Set Up the Machine - Place the reel on a stable surface and connect to power.
Prepare the Yarn - Secure the yarn end on the reel’s hook or clamp.
Set Wrap Count - Use the control panel to enter the desired number of wraps.
Thread the Yarn - Guide the yarn through the tensioner and winding arm as per instructions.
Start the Machine - Press the start button; the reel will rotate and wind the yarn.
Monitor Process - Watch the digital counter to ensure accurate wraps.
Automatic Stop - The machine will stop once the set wrap count is reached.
Remove Yarn Hank - Carefully take off the finished hank from the reel.
Power Off & Clean - Turn off the machine and clean any yarn residues.
Safety Tips for Electronic Wrap Reel:
Keep Hands Clear - Avoid touching moving parts during operation to prevent injury.
Use Proper Clothing - Avoid loose sleeves or jewelry that can get caught in the machine.
Power Off Before Threading - Always turn off the machine when threading or adjusting yarn.
Check for Damage - Inspect electrical cords and machine parts regularly for wear or damage.
Operate on Stable Surface - Place the machine on a flat, secure table to avoid tipping.
Maintenance Tips:
Regular Cleaning - Remove lint and dust from the tensioner and winding area.
Check Tension System - Ensure tensioners are functioning smoothly and adjust if needed.
Inspect Electronic Components - Check the display and control panel for proper operation.
Lubricate Moving Parts - Apply light oil to bearings and moving joints as per manual.
Store Properly - When not in use, cover the machine to protect it from dust.

Here’s the basic Yarn Count Calculation formula using the Electronic Wrap Reel:
Yarn Count (Ne) = (Number of wraps × Length per wrap in yards) / (Weight of yarn in grams × Conversion factor)
Usually: Length per wrap = 1 yard (standard)
Conversion factor depends on system used (e.g., for English cotton count, factor = 1.69)
Example for English Cotton Count (Ne):
Ne = (Number of wraps × 1) / (Weight in grams × 1.69)
Where:
Number of wraps = wraps on reel
Weight in grams = weight of the hank after winding
Scope of application
It is used to accurately measure the length of the yarn, for the determination of the linear
density or count of the textile yarn and the yarn strength test.
