Title
R 40 rotor spinning machine: now equipped with 4 robots.
Abstract
The new R40 rotor spinning machine developed by Rieter Machine Works Ltd. of Switzerland set new standards from the very beginning. Optimized spinning geometry improves spinning stability and thus allows higher delivery speeds compared to other machines. With up to 320 rotors per machine, productivity is exceptionally high. As of 2003, the R40 can also be equipped with four robots per machine, which reduces by half the startup time after a lot change.
