Open-end spinning

It was invented and developed in Czechoslovakia in Výzkumný ústav bavlnářský / Cotton Research Institute in Ústí nad Orlicí in 1963.

Each type of fibre may require a different rotor design for optimal product quality and processing speed.

Over the past three centuries spinning technology has been continuously improved through thousands of minor innovations, and occasional major advances that have collectively increased the quality and lowered the cost of producing yarn dramatically.

Major technology advances have included: version of machines were launched with increased speed at 100,000 rpm.

The number of manufacturers who can successfully compete has been reduced, as the technical complexity of the spinning machines has increased.
