Abstract: A wire bobbin binding device includes a binding head having first and second coaxially aligned rotatably mounted chucks for engaging opposite sides of an empty bobbin for motor-driven rotation about a bobbin axis while a wire is wound upon the bobbin. A ring creeping clip is mounted on the binding head and moveable between an advanced position and a retracted position to selectively engage the wire and bind the terminal end of the wire.

Abstract: This relates to an apparatus enabling all the wires wound around a bobbin to be mechanically bound without any human work. The binding head 5 provided with the ring creeping clip 14 is rotatably installed at the base plate 29 and one bobbin chuck 7a of the bobbin chucks opposed to enable the bobbin 2 to be held at the binding head 5 is rotatably arranged to a direction opposite against the rotating direction of the binding head 5. And the bobbin chuck 7b protruded or retreated in opposition to the bobbin chuck 7a can be rotated in a driven manner.

Abstract: A process for automatically removing packages in a winding station of a yarn winding machine, having elements (1) for holding and disengaging a full package (2), a winding guide (3) guiding the yarn to be wound during winding, a bar (7) for disengagement from the winding guide (3), a package drive (4), heads (5) for gripping and holding the spool (6) and a device (8) for supplying the station with spools (6). The process includes providing, during each removal cycle, a relaxation of the tension of the supply yarn, then restarting a new winding cycle after completing the removal cycle. The invention is more particularly applicable to the field of the textile industry, in particular machines for winding yarns.

Abstract: An apparatus for winding a cross-wound bobbin onto a bobbin tube is provided and comprises a bobbin creel including two bobbin creel arms for the mounting of two bobbin tube centering plates, a thread intake device effective in the region of an arm and with which is associated a thread severing device, a drive unit for a bobbin shaft/cross-wound bobbin, and a traversing thread guide adapted to be driven to move back and forth along the bobbin shaft/cross-wound bobbin. A given bobbin creel arm is provided with at least one intake or suction channel that is directed radially inwardly from the periphery of the centering plate and that opens into a hollow shaft guided outwardly through an associated arm. A suction head is adapted to be placed against the hollow shaft and is provided with a thread clamping mechanism and the thread severing device.

Abstract: A machine for tucking, labelling and palletizing spools at the outlet of winders or other machines producing spools of threads and the process practiced by this machine. The machine includes a station for positioning spools at the outlet of a winder or other machine producing spools and cutting the tag end of the thread, a robot or the like for grasping the spool, for supplying a turning plate and for unmounting the spools from the turning plate and palletizing them, a device for grasping, positioning, holding and cutting the length of the tag end of thread, a portion for needle tucking, or the like, and a labelling station, all of these stations an devices being computer controlled.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for guiding and cutting a continuously advancing yarn (1) during a package doff in a takeup device. The yarn is guided by means of a yarn guide (18) which is movable substantially parallel to a package or to a new tube (13), which is driven by a drive roll (29). Downstream of the yarn guide (18), a deflection device (2) and a suction device (37) are arranged, with the suction device comprising a pneumatic vacuum connection (46) and a cutter (47). The suction device (37) cooperates with a transfer device (42) for purposes of cutting the yarn during a package doff and receiving the loose end of the advancing yarn. To enable a gentle processing of the yarn during the package doff, the yarn guide (18) is arranged in the path of the advancing yarn upstream of the driven tube (13), and a deflection device (2) as well as the suction device (37) are arranged downstream of the driven tube.

Abstract: During the service of a workstation of a textile machine, a thread, presented to a spool apparatus, is captured by a capture mechanism coordinated with the spool apparatus and conducted to a thread cutting device to be cut through. The thread cutting device is coordinated with a cleaning apparatus, with the help of which the thread cutting device at specified intervals, and/or in dependency of the carrying out of assigned work phases is subjected to cleaning.

Abstract: A cheese-producing textile machine (1), having a central control unit (37), a plurality of work stations (2), and a service unit (23), which automatically supplies the work stations (2). The work stations (2) each have a winding device with a winding drum (17), which is individually driven by a motor, and a work station computer (39). The central control unit (37) is connected via a machine bus (40) with the work station computers (39) and with a control device (39) of the service unit (23). Specific winding drum data (x, y), in particular the number of traverses (g) of the winding drum (17) of the work stations (2), are stored in a memory, e.g., integrated in the central control unit (37). During the yarn pickup by means of the yarn lifter (41) of the service unit (23) in the course of a cheese change, the individual electric motor drive (50) of the winding drum (17) is controlled to match the number of revolutions of the winding drum (17) to the number of traverses (g) thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for guiding and cutting a continuously advancing yarn during a package doff in a takeup device. In this connection, a movable yarn guide guides the yarn substantially parallel to a package or a winding tube, which is driven by a drive roll. The yarn guide is followed by a suction device, which consists of a pneumatic suction inlet end and a cutting device. The suction device cooperates with a transfer device for purposes of cutting the yarn during the package doff and receiving the loose end of the advancing yarn. To protect the yarn during the package doff, the yarn guide extends in the yarn path upstream of the driven tube, and the suction device downstream thereof.

Abstract: An automatic cord winder for steel cord braiding machines is disclosed. The winder automatically and continuously drives a spool assembly during a steel cord winding operation. In the spool assembly, a plurality of spools are assembled together into a longitudinal single assembly with a side plate siding each end of the assembly. A spool inlet channel and a spool outlet opening are formed on a winder body. A bobbin lift, movably set in the winder body, is selectively raised upwardly along with the spool assembly from an interior position of the body by a lead screw, thus discharging the spool assembly from the body to a designated position above the top wall of the body through the spool outlet opening. Head and tail stocks, individually having a movable cylinder, are positioned on the top wall of the winder body at positions around the spool outlet opening and selectively rotate the spool assembly while holding the assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for guiding and cutting a continuously advancing yarn during a package doff in a yarn winding apparatus wherein the advancing yarn is wound on a driven bobbin tube. In this process, the yarn is guided by means of a movable yarn guide along a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the tube. Downstream of the yarn guide, a suction device is arranged, which includes a pneumatic suction inlet end and a cutter. The suction device cooperates with a transfer device, so as to cut the yarn during the package doff and receive the loose end of the advancing yarn. To facilitate a protective processing of the yarn during the package doff, during the catching, and during the winding of initial layers on a tube driven by a drive roll, the yarn guide is arranged in the path of the yarn upstream of the driven tube and the suction device downstream of the driven tube.
