Winding, stop motion and quality control

Index

The spun yarn is taken off the rotor by means of the take-off rollers, which draw the finished yarn out of the spinning box through the draw-off nozzle and the draw- off tube. While the full spinning tension in the yarn is in effect below the take-off rollers winding onto cylindrical or conical cross-wound packages above the take-off rollers is performed with considerably reduced winding tension. This winding tension is infinitely adjustable. The lower the winding tension, the softer the packages (e.g. for dyeing packages); the higher the tension, the more compact the package, but at the risk of reducing yarn elongation.

The yarn is wound onto a tube which is clamped between the package holders (Fig. 31). Cylindrical packages and 2° conical packages are driven by the one-part winding roller. In the case of 3°50‘ and 4°20‘ conical package formats, allowance must be made for the different peripheral speeds on both sides of the winding roller.
