SMG SMGTEXYarn Feeding Technology Talk to an Engineer

Our process

From machine problem to validated supply.

SMG works in two tracks: stable supply of established components, and electronic yarn feeding that is proven on your machine before it is scaled. Both start with the machine, the yarn and the problem.

  • 2 tracks Components and electronic yarn feeding
  • Baseline first Measured before anything is changed
  • Sample before scale Validated on a real machine
  • Same team Development, production and support in house

Two tracks

One discipline. Two ways to work.

A standard component is confirmed and supplied. A change in yarn feeding is sampled, installed and tested before any volume commitment — the difference is what has to be proven.

Track 01

Established components

Standard parts, wear parts and replacement components. Model confirmation, quotation, production or stock picking, inspection, delivery — and then repeat orders on the same specification.

  • Circular
  • Flat
  • Hosiery
  • Replacement parts
See the supply track

Track 02

Electronic yarn feeding

Electronic feeders, storage feeders and detection. A sample is installed on your machine, tested against your baseline, adjusted and confirmed — and only then does it go to volume.

  • Sample
  • Installation
  • Test
  • Scale

Validation track

Proven on the machine before volume.

A change in yarn feeding is sampled, installed and tested before any volume commitment. Tension, speed and break rate are compared with the baseline measured before the change.

Track 02

Electronic yarn feeding, proven on your machine.

Electronic feeding changes how the yarn behaves, so it is validated rather than promised. Six steps — and the first one is measuring what your machine does today.

  1. 01 Discovery

    Machine type, brand and model, the yarn you run, and what you are seeing on the fabric.

  2. 02 Evaluation

    We check whether electronic feeding fits the application. Where a problem is better solved mechanically, we say so.

  3. 03 Sample and installation

    A sample unit is installed on the machine and the settings are recorded as the reference.

  4. 04 Test and adjustment

    Tension, speed and break rate are compared with the baseline measured before the change.

  5. 05 Technical confirmation

    Results are reviewed together and the configuration is confirmed before any volume commitment.

  6. 06 Scale

    Small batch, wider installation, long-term supply — with the same specification and the same support.

Track 01

Established components, supplied to specification.

Established parts do not need a trial: they need the right model, held in stock or produced to order, inspected in the production route and delivered on the promised date.

  1. 01 Inquiry and requirement check

    Model, quantity, application, and the machine the part goes on.

  2. 02 Quotation

    Price, lead time and the supply position for that model.

  3. 03 Order confirmation

    The specification is confirmed in writing before anything is produced or picked.

  4. 04 Production or stock picking

    Standard models come from stock; low-frequency and special specifications are produced to order.

  5. 05 Inspection

    Inspection is a step in the production route, not a final gate that hides upstream problems.

  6. 06 Delivery and repeat orders

    Traceability and technical backup behind the customers who scale up.

Track 01

Held in stock or produced to order.

Established parts need the right model — held in stock or produced to order, inspected inside the production route and delivered on the date that was promised. Repeat orders follow the same specification.

Before you write

What we need to answer properly.

The more of this you send in the first message, the faster the answer is useful — and the less time is lost in questions the machine information already answers.

  • Machine Type, brand and model — circular, flat, hosiery or seamless.
  • Yarn and fabric Yarn type and count, and what you are seeing on the fabric.
  • Product or old part Model number, or a photo of the part and where it sits on the machine.
  • Working condition Speed, tension range, break rate and stop time — whatever you already record.

Evidence

Measured, not claimed.

A change is only worth keeping if it shows up in the numbers the mill already tracks. These are the values we ask for before and after a trial — the same figures you use to run the shift.

  • Break rate Yarn breaks per shift, before and after.
  • Speed The RPM the machine actually runs at.
  • Tension Average, peak and range across the machine.
  • Stop time Minutes lost per shift to feeding problems.
  • Batch consistency The same result on the first shipment and the tenth.
  • Traceability What was supplied, when, and to which specification.

Next step

Tell us the machine, the yarn and the problem.

Send the machine model, the yarn you run and what you are seeing on the fabric. An engineer will come back with the recommended track and configuration.
