Improved package build with<br />

anti-patterning control<br />

Frequency-controlled, motor-powered pattern breaking – the APC (Anti-<br />

Patterning Control) upgrade package for rotor spinning machines optimizes<br />

package build. The conversion kit is available for R 1, R 20 and<br />

R 40 (Version 1 to 3) rotor spinning machines.<br />

Higher draw-off speeds in weaving and knitting make<br />

optimal package build increasingly important. Preventing<br />

pattern winding results in improved take-off<br />

behavior in downstream processing. Electronic pattern<br />

breaking such as that in use since the R 40 rotor<br />

spinning machine (Version 4), has demonstrated<br />

its outstanding qualities in the field. Customers with<br />

R1, R 20 and R 40 (Version 1 to 3) rotor spinning<br />

machines can now also benefit from this innovation.<br />

The APC (Anti-Patterning Control) upgrade package<br />

has been developed for this purpose. The mechanical<br />

regulating wheel has been replaced here by a frequency-controlled,<br />

motor-powered pattern breaker.<br />

Maintenance-friendly design<br />

In addition to the mechanical regulating wheel, other<br />

parts susceptible to wear – such as the special<br />

belt and the mechanical pattern-breaker gear – are<br />

also dispensed with in the new system. This reduces<br />

maintenance effort. The new system completely<br />

eliminates the cost of purchasing or replacing these<br />

mechanical parts.<br />

PARTS<br />

Optimal and variable pattern breaking<br />

Perfect package build is the result of optimal pattern<br />

breaking. This prevents first-order pattern winding<br />

(1:1 pattern winding) and uncontrolled package<br />

winding. A separate motor with an electronic random-check<br />

generator ensures optimal pattern breaking.<br />

The rotation speed of the traversing gear can be<br />

finely controlled. The independent, motor-powered<br />

drive of the traversing gear also reduces the load on<br />

the winding cylinder drive.<br />

The rotation speed of the winding cylinder shaft is<br />

picked up by a motion sensor (initiator). The necessary<br />

rotation speed for the motor is calculated by the<br />

controller and transmitted to the inverter (Fig. 1).<br />

The motor speed at power take-off is then checked<br />

and regulated. Thus processed, these measured signals<br />

permit very accurate regulation and thus faultless<br />

pattern breaking. Two optional settings on the<br />

controller enable pattern-breaking intensity to be<br />

variably adjusted, usefully and very easily. These<br />

two adjustment options depend on the delivery<br />

speed and the yarn properties (pronounced snarling<br />

tendency, high elongation or other unusual properties).<br />

The angle of intersection is still adjusted by<br />

means of change gears.<br />

Higher productivity, longer service life<br />

Technical and technological developments in rotor<br />

spinning continue to make progress. The APC<br />

upgrade package (Fig. 2) also modernizes older<br />

machines to the latest state of the art. Improved<br />

package quality without ribbon formation, reduced<br />

maintenance effort and longer service life of the pattern<br />

breaker make investment in this upgrade package<br />

a worthwhile proposition. 11-209 •<br />
