Abstract: A rotor spinning machine has a plurality of spinning stations, each of which comprises an opening roller and a draw-in roller for supplying sliver to the opening roller and each of which is equipped with control devices for individual drives of the draw-in rollers. The control devices each have a connection mechanism, to which an additional control card can be attached for producing effect or novelty yarn with predetermined effects. The control card comprises a processor, which meets the elevated computing power requirements for producing effect or novelty yarn and can be activated via a data bus system.

Abstract: This invention relates to an arrangement for sealing off a fluid-filled, stationary pressurized compartment from an endlessly circulating, impermeable belt of a machine for producing and/or refining a paper, paperboard, tissue or other fibrous web with the help of at least one seal of the pressurized compartment, whose contact pressure toward the belt is variable, wherein the belt is pressed by the pressurized compartment against a co-driven support element and the fibrous web runs alone or jointly with one or more function belts between the belt and the support element. The sealing is improved in this case, while producing as little leakage and wear as possible, in that the contact pressure of the seal is controlled as a factor of the drive power and/or the drive torque channeled into the belt and/or as a factor of the leakage of fluid through the gap between the seal and the belt and/or as a factor of the pressure of the fluid in the pressurized compartment.

Abstract: The yarn cleaner (5) is designed for cleaning out defects from an effect yarn (1), which is formed from an alternating stringing together of webs and of effects comprised of given thickenings. The yarn cleaner has a measuring head (6) in which at least one yarn parameter is measured, whereby cleaning limits are determined for the yarn parameter, and the presence of a defect in the yarn is signaled when these limits are surpassed. The measured values of the yarn parameter are compared with the cleaning limits and intolerable defects are cut out from the yarn. The cleaning limits are each dependent on whether the values are measured in the web or in the effect. The yarn cleaner (5) is suited for keeping the desired diameter quality of effect yarn on winding and spinning winding machines.

Abstract: A drafting arrangement for a spinning machine, comprising at least one pair of feed rollers, one pair of central rollers and a pair of withdrawal rollers, wherein the lower rollers of the drafting arrangement are configured as roller segments, which are rotated by single-motor drives, and the upper rollers are mounted in a pendulum carrier. The lower roller drive (14) at least of the pair of central rollers (21) is arranged together with its lower roller (21A) in a bearing device (15) in such a way that, after opening of the pendulum carrier (17) receiving the associated upper roller (21B), the lower roller (21A) and its drive (14) can easily be removed from the bearing device (15) in the direction of the pendulum carrier (17).

Abstract: A wire section in a machine for the production of a fiber web including at least one twin wire former including a revolving continuous inner wire and a revolving continuous outer wire that converge in the area of a forming roll. After the forming roll, viewed in the direction of web travel, and inside the loop of the inner wire and inside the loop of the outer wire at least one additional strip element is located.

Abstract: The present invention is a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web from a fibrous suspension, with a sheet forming area that exhibits at least one suction box, which includes a main box with at least one suction box cover that is formed from at least two drainage elements that run laterally to the machine's running direction, border a suction slit, and each has one main body and at least one ceramic. The present invention is identified by the fact that at least; one drainage element and/or one format slide exhibit at least one removable edge piece in which is integrated at least one temperature sensor in order to measure the temperature in the ceramic and/or the temperature at an adhesive point between the ceramic and the associated main body and/or the temperature in the main body. The present invention is furthermore a process and a system for monitoring a drainage element.

Abstract: The arrangement is for use within a machine for at least one of making and processing at least one of paper, cardboard and tissue. The arrangement includes a first unit, a support piece and at least one clamping device. A first unit has a shaped part together with a wear part, the shaped part having a part underside. The part underside has an underside length, the shaped part displaying a part contour upon the part underside along substantially all of the underside length. A support piece interlocks with the shaped part, the support piece having a support piece top and a corresponding top length. The support piece has a piece contour upon the support piece top along substantially all of the top length, the piece contour being substantially complimentary to the part contour. At least one clamping device is operatively positioned relative to both the part contour and the piece contour.

Abstract: A machine for the production of a multi-layer fiber stock web, specifically a paper or cardboard web, whereby a first and a second layer are couched as a result of being delivered by an associated forming belt or wire to a couching element around which a second forming belt, or wire delivering the second layer is guided. This second forming belt, or wire impacts/runs onto the couching element before the second layer, which is supported by it, makes contact with the first layer. The second layer, at least in the location where it comes into contact with the first layer, is retained through suction force to the second forming belt wire.
