Title: Masazumi Imae: Innovator in Yarn Manufacturing Technology
Introduction
Masazumi Imae is a notable inventor based in Moriyama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of yarn manufacturing, holding a total of 3 patents. His innovative approaches have enhanced the efficiency and precision of yarn production processes.
Latest Patents
One of Imae's latest patents is a method for monitoring yarn tension in the yarn manufacturing process. This method involves detecting yarn tension while the yarn spun by a spinning device is wound by a winding device. The detected yarn tension is corrected based on the rate of change in winding conditions, such as traverse speed or winding speed. This allows for a judgment on whether the yarn manufacturing process is in a normal condition. Additionally, an abnormal judging reference is also corrected based on the rate of change in winding conditions.
Another significant patent is the method and apparatus for detecting yarn tension and winding. This apparatus is designed to measure yarn tension while preventing filament breakage or loops. It eliminates the need for adjustments while maintaining desired measurement precision. The apparatus consists of a unit for applying vibration to the moving yarn, a unit for measuring the apparent transverse wave propagation velocity of the yarn, and a unit for calculating the true transverse wave propagation velocity based on yarn speed.
