About Rieter Spindle Cutter
                A Spindle Cutter is a mechanical or pneumatic blade system installed near each spindle to cut the yarn automatically during the doffing cycle (when full bobbins are removed and empty tubes are placed). It works as part of the auto doffer system in modern ring frames.
Purpose of the Spindle Cutter
Function  | Description  | 
Yarn Cutting  | Cleanly cuts the yarn between ring frame and bobbin before doffing  | 
Automated Doffing  | Prepares spindle for next bobbin without manual intervention  | 
Prevents Yarn Pulling  | Prevents long tails or yarn winding during removal  | 
Supports Automation  | Works with the auto-doffer arm, spindle brake, and doffing drive  | 
Where is It Used?
Installed on:
LMW auto doffer machines (e.g., LF4200A)
Rieter machines with automatic doffing (G38, G37)
Zinser models with ROBOdoff system
Marzoli FT Series auto doffers
Components of a Spindle Cutter System
Part Name  | Function  | 
Cutter Blade  | Sharp edge that cuts the yarn  | 
Pneumatic Cylinder  | Controls the movement of the blade (air pressure)  | 
Blade Housing  | Fixed bracket attached to spindle rail  | 
Sensor / Actuator  | Syncs cutter with auto doffer PLC  | 
Air Tubing & Valve  | Supplies compressed air to activate cutter  | 
Working Process (Step-by-Step)
- Auto doffer is activated
 - Machine sends signal to spindle brake  spindle stops
 - Spindle cutter engages  pneumatic blade cuts yarn
 - Doffer removes full bobbin
 - Empty bobbin placed
 - Yarn piecing process begins again
