China’s Suntech textile machinery has developed a new generation of nonwoven equipment equipped with a PLC control system. The programming control system adopts a modular design idea. During debugging, problems are detected and have to be adjusted for a certain module. It reduces the workload of operation and is essential to realise automated operation.

Secondly, Suntech nonwoven equipment also places great importance on the design of human-computer interaction pages. Nonwoven equipment needs to involve a lot of processing procedures, people who do not particularly understand the procedures can also refer to the interactive page of the PLC. Among them, the various data of the nonwoven equipment operation are clearly marked, such as the changes in the exchange data of the netting machine and the coiling machine, which can be clearly recorded in the system and captured by the operator, according to Suntech.

The operating system is also required in the subsequent synchronisation of the netting machine and the coiling machine. The system can control the tension parameters of the coal-burning machine, so as to adjust the tension of the nonwoven fabric, which greatly reduces the workload and the error value, the company said in a media statement.

The digital trend makes the production of non-woven fabrics faster and more convenient, which further reduces the production cost of nonwoven fabrics. Suntech keeps up with the pace of the time and strives to be the leader in the nonwoven fabric industry.
