Tuftworx Technology

Tuftco's Operational Support Tools

  • Every automated Tuftco tufting machine includes a tool box of comprehensive software to enhance the user experience and maximize production efficiency.
  • Team Viewer is a remote diagnostic tool that allows Tuftco technical staff to be given access to the tufting machine PC through an internet connection. This tool enables software updates, machine diagnostics, and troubleshooting without the associated costs of travel.
  • Event Viewer is a real time customizable machine event activity log. Selected events are recorded in a log file and may be retrieved with included reports to evaluate performance and efficiency.
  • The TuftCom Operating System runs on our proprietary industrial grade 64 bit Windows 10 operating system, and is the primary means for setting up and operating the tufting machine. An identical version of the software is included as a desktop application allowing styles to be setup in the office increasing the uptime of the tufting machine.

Four Roll Yarn Control System Technology

Tuftco's Four Roll Four Pack Design

  • 4 rolls increases the yarn’s surface contact from 380° to 842° for increased control.
  • More surface contact allows for decreased coated roll grit for reduced yarn wraps.
  • 70% larger bearing on motor shaft.
  • Four roll configuration mechanically balances the load on the drive shaft, reducing side-load and increasing motor life.
  • Special high temp lubricant for increased durability.
  • Additional PTFE bearing incorporated into drive gear assembly.
  • Tungsten carbide coated roll sleeve has superior life expectancy as compared to sandpaper.
