Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for treating the surfaces of a pair of rollers used in an open-end friction spinning unit containing a pair of friction rollers arranged in an operational position to form a wedge-shaped yarn-forming gap. The pair of friction rollers is treated prior to installation in a spinning unit by rotatably mounting the two friction rollers adjacent one another outside the spinning unit, causing the friction rollers to rotate on their longitudinal axes and simultaneously treating the surface of each friction roller with common treating element.

Abstract: A spinning rotor for an open-end spinning device and a method of making same is disclosed. A spinning rotor arrangement includes a shaft carrying a rotor including a sliding wall starting at one open face side of the rotor and diversing conically outward of the rotor axes. A fiber collecting groove is connected to the sliding surface and forms the greatest inner diameter portion of the rotor. The surfaces of the fiber collecting groove are hardened by a plastic deformation process.

Abstract: An opening roller and a process for making an opening roller for open-end spinning machines is disclosed where wavy shaped toothed rings and intermediate rings are alternately slid on a preferably cylindrical part. The toothed rings and the intermediate rings are clamped between axial stops. It is provided that during the clamping of the toothed rings and the intermediate rings between the axial stops, the intermediate rings are plastically deformed. Thus it is achieved that without narrow manufacturing tolerances, the toothed rings and the intermediate rings rest against one another without gaps so that fibers cannot be caught during use of the opening roller.

Abstract: A draw frame device for spinning machines is provided which includes a preassembled auxiliary draw frame stand formed of a hollow longitudinal pipe member having a plurality of supports welded thereto. The supports are configured for holding supporting rods for supporting upper rolls and loading arms, as well as for supporting lower rolls of a draw frame. Adjustable fastening means are provided at each of the respective opposite ends of the longitudinal member for adjustably connecting the preassembled auxiliary draw frame stand to a hollow longitudinal draw frame stand member of a spinning machine.
