The need for extremely fast response, using non-standard motors, has led Spanish company Rius Textile Machinery of Barcelona to standardise on Unidrive SP AC drives from Control Techniques for its direct and sectional warping systems and knitting machines.
In the face of aggressive competition, the company is carving out new market niches - medical / sanitary, agro-textiles, mechanical and food wrappings - and producing machines designed for leading edge fibres for high performance products.
"Our machinery has to accelerate very fast and maintain precise torque control, to prevent fibres breaking," explains Valenti Ruis Jr, Rius Textile Machinery's sales director. "We often use non-standard motors such as OML high-speed, low inertia motors, which have extremely dynamic performance. Other motors have completely different characteristics, but we find that the Unidrive SP from Control Techniques can be set up to give optimum performance across the range. And, because we export some 90% of our output worldwide to around 96 countries, it's important that our customers are assured of local support from Control Techniques' network of drive centres.

The Rius' high performance sectional warp winding machine gathers together up to 2,000 yarns and prepares the yarn for weaving by winding it in a prescribed sequence onto a beam (drum). The machine is designed to warp all types of natural and synthetic yarns on beams up to 1,000mm diameter.
