TWINSTAR II - The trusted industry leader
Flexible for multiple applications
TWINSTAR II is the flexible solution for all your winding needs. The state-of-the-art system lets you handle a wide range of winding materials and provides perfect winding performance for a broad array of yarn counts, package sizes and shapes.
The TWINSTAR II technology is designed to work seamlessly with cylindrical tubes made of many different materials, including paper, aluminium and steel.
APPLICATIONS
- High performance fibers
- Multifilaments
- Tapes and monofilaments
- Coated and twisted yarns
- Hollow fibers
- Hybrid materials
Others on request
Top performance in diverse use scenarios
As Take-up Winder
Continuous yarn production/treatment processes.
As Assembly Winder
Continuous/discontinuous rewinding of one or several assembled yarn ends from creel-loaded supply bobbins with/without intermingling or rewinding from a driven spindle.
As Direct Spinning Winder
Implementation of winding positions into spinning plants for speeds up to 3,000 m/min. Also as a retrofit solution: replacement of manual winders in existing spinning plants.

Compact and modular design - Peak performance with minimum space
Your advantages
Design your own TWINSTAR II
For peak winding performance customized exactly to your needs
Bobbin push-off device with parking position
Bobbin push-off device with parking position
During automatic bobbin changeover, the finished bobbin is pushed into a parking position while the next bobbin is already being wound. Perfect for automated doffing and higher flexibility for manual doffing.
Yarn reserve
Yarn reserve
Adjustable yarn reserve with minimum yarn tail after automatic changeover.
NEW: Flexible Traverse
NEW: Flexible Traverse
You get full adjustability for: traverse width, bobbin shape, bobbin positioning and yarn reserve choice.
Pull roll (godet)
Pull roll (godet)
Godet per winding head pulling the yarn from the preprocess.
Winding direction
TWINSTAR II series provides a winding head assembly for q-wind direction as a standard while a mirror-inverted assembly for p-wind direction is available as an option.
Intermingling
Intermingling
Air entanglement of single or assembled multifilament yarns while the yarn length of several assembled ends is kept equal (low catenary effect) and the cumulative strength of the yarn is maintained.
Quality sensor
Quality sensor
Monitoring of yarn thickness to check for broken filaments and problems with material quality.
Customized yarn guide assemblies
With/without knot deflector and/or melt catcher.
Diameter monitoring/control
Online yarn diameter monitoring, with optional closed- loop system for control of the diameter regulated by the winding speed. Separation of the production whenever material leaves the tolerance range.
Double cam
Double scroll cam for two different traverse lengths.
Yarn cutter
Automatically controlled pneumatic cutting device per winding position provides a clear shear cut of yarns during start-up and refeeding processes.
Yarn suction device
Automatic yarn suction device per winding position for higher operator convenience during start-up and refeeding processes.
Winding head change connector
Easy maintenance unit with and without easy change connector (ECC), helps to quickly disconnect and remove the winding head for maintenance purposes.
Lifting loader
Lifting loader
Exclusive SAHM maintenance feature for secure, quick removal of the complete winding head.
NEW: Smart View
NEW: Smart View
Monitoring application to track the production of each winder.
Chill Unit | Easy Storage Doffer (ESD)
Chill Unit | Easy Storage Doffer (ESD)
Yarn cooling and relaxing chamber helps avoid residual shrinkage and preserve material properties.
Easy Storage Doffer enables automatic bobbin and tube changes and intermediate storage of finished bobbins.
Automation
The TWINSTAR II can be adapted to different handling systems. From Easy Storage Doffers for individual winding stations to fully automated robotic solutions for large and complex production lines.
HMI
Central process control unit (HMI touch screen) for input, display and storage of process and machine parameters.
Interface
Interface to DCS (Distributed Control System) or OPC UA data exchange system.
Remote support
Remote access and support for diagnosis and guidance during troubleshooting.
Ready for automation
Ready for automation
SAHM offers scalable automation solutions for TWINSTAR II winder lines ranging from an Easy Storage Doffer for single winding positions to AGV fleet integration with robotic options and temporary bobbin storage for lines with several winding positions.
