The optocoupler output from the Eltex 16730 Thread break detector is suitable for a PLC or other electronic control devices. You do not only detect thread breaking but also more often the finishing of a roll of thread. No moving parts involved, higly reliable. It operates on the piezoelectric principle, detecting the yarn movement. This working principle makes it suitable for all types of yarn and makes it insensitive to dust, dirt and humidity variations. The UPG 16730 is a small, inexpensive, general purpose yarn break detector in a robust metal housing. It features a 3,5 meter Eltex Thread Break detector Made and designed in the European Union.

The ceramic sensor part can be used either as a closed eyelet or as an open bar.
- Several detectors can be connected in parallel next to each other.
- Modular connector for quick connection.
- Detect breakage of thread
- Detect end of thread
- Detect Machine jams
- Detect stitch formation not made correctly (thread running ot of a needle or out of the looper)
- Runs on 24 volt.
- Dust proof, Dirt proof, Humidity proof
- A green LED (light emitting diode) indicates the yarn movement.
- The ceramic sensor part can be used either as a closed eyelet or as an open bar.
Designed and produced in the European Union
How does it work?
The output reflects the movement of the yarn. When the yarn is moving, the optocoupler is inactive. When the yarn is not moving, the optocoupler is active. The LED is on when the yarn is moving. The detector is supplied with cable and a 6/4 modular plug connector. Many thread detectors can be connected in parallel. The detector is protected against wrong polarity on power supply.
Specifications
Sensing part: Made our of Aluminium oxide ceramic, with a 3 mm diameter closedeyelet and a 7 mm wide bar. Output: The optocoupler is active when yarn is not moving. Sensitivity: setting The sensitivity can be adjusted with a potentiometer under the lid by removing the screw.
