yarn tensioner is raised, the braking effect is reduced, and vice-versa. The yarn tensioner can
be cut out the yarn tensioner can be disabled by moving the plates on the holder to the left.
The same effects can be obtained using the second yarn tensioner 6 fig.9; increasing the weights
provides a firmer cone, or reducing them gives a softer cone.
It is usually used in cone-to-cone winding. Remember that the higher the speed, the firmer the
cones. Note also that over-waxing will brake the yarn.
b) Slubcatching
The machine is prefitted for installation of Uster slubcatchers and ITECO.
c) Cone-to-cone winding
For cone-to cone winding (see fig. 11) pass the yarn through the ring (3 fig.11) and the into the
cone: the yarn automatically passes underneath the 2 yarn tensioners, ready for connection the
yarn guide.
The recommended cross-over angle is the second (13°). Slow start-up ensures that the yarn is
not stretched.
d) Counterweight
When working with extra slippery yarn, turn the counterweight forward (2 fig.8).
