Yarn control unit
The elements of the yarn control device can individually be adjusted to the
yarn being processed.
The tension arm (1) controls the yarn tension and prevents threads from
sagging via yarn tensioning. In the case of yarn breakage or, a yarn end the
tension arm switches off the knitting machine. The error is indicated by the
LED (6) on the yarn control device, the signal light and on the touch screen.
In the case of large knots in the yarn, the knot detector switches off the
knitting machine. The error is indicated by the LED (6) on the yarn control
device, the signal light and on the touch screen.
In the case of small knots in the yarn, the machine knits a programmed
number of rows at reduced speed.
The eyelet (5) leads the thread and prevents the threads from touching or
crossing over each other. The yarn brake setting (4) regulates the yarn
tension and prevents the thread from hanging through.
With the CMS ADF-3 there is a fixed allocation of bobbin, yarn control
device and yarn carrier. When working with 3 threads in one yarn carrier,
this allocation is no longer possible - the third thread must be threaded in a
yarn control device of the next higher track. The eyelet of this yarn control
device will be pulled forward by 22 mm to ensure that the thread is led
straight to the yarn carrier.
