Abstract: In a process for manufacturing a singles ring yarn, firstly a first twist is supplied to a strand of traveling drafted fibers at a false twist device for producing a preliminary singles yarn. The false twist device rotates at a first speed for twisting the fibers. Immediately after the first twisting step, a joint twist of a second twist in the same direction as the first twist and a third twist in a reversed direction is supplied to the preliminary yarn for producing a final singles ring yarn. The second twist is produced by a rotatable take-up package onto which the final singles yarn is drawn. The reversed twist results in correspondence to the first twist, and the take-up package rotates at a second speed. The final singles yarn is then drawn onto the take-up package. Furthermore, a ratio of the first speed to the second speed is controlled for controlling the amount of a residual torque in the final singles ring yarn.

Abstract: In a spinning process for producing a yarn, fiber material in the form of at least one sliver is opened to a fibrous veil consisting of single fibers, and is deposited on an air-permeable suctioned collecting surface. The speed of the fibrous veil transported on the collecting surface is preferably not higher than the speed of the drawn off yarn. Before reaching the yarn formation line located on the collecting surface, the fibrous veil is divided into a plurality of fiber accumulations and thereby pre-twisted to strands. The position and travelling direction of the strands on the collecting surface is defined by guiding edges of suction slits. The individual strands are guided off transversely to the yarn formation line, whereby the extent of the pre-twist and the extent of the transport force is determined by the angle of the strands to the yarn formation line. Pre-twisted strands are wound around each other along the yarn formation line so that a type of ply-twisted yarn arises.

Abstract: This invention is concerned with a spinning apparatus with an arrangement of a spinning nozzle which generates a rotating air current positioned close to the front roller and a pair of false twist units having hollow cylindrical rollers formed from elastic material which are positioned down stream from that spinning nozzle.

Even when driving the false twist apparatus at high speed a sufficient false twist can be imparted, a strong delivery power and unwinding power can be applied to the fiber bundle, and not only can high speed spinning be achieved, but also a strong, uniform spun yarn with little hairiness can be manufactured.

The adjustment signal is a current value and is corrected adaptively via a PI controller, the control behavior of which takes into account the quotient from the change of the yarn tension and the change of the current value of the adjustment signal.
