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 />

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 />
