A computer-controlled textile machine has a bobbin cross-winding station with a paraffin-application monitor. The bobbin is held between bearings and is rotated by contact with an adjacent drum. After the conclusion of each splicing process, the time taken to accelerate the bobbin target speed is registered using the current thread diameter around the bobbin. The time taken to reach this speed is ...

The mounting of the rectangular bearing housings between the guide slots formed on the frame restricts any movement of the roller cylinders to a single direction in the event of jamming and the mounting arrangement provides a simple method of adding replacem shims to compensate for wear. The arrangement reduces the risk of damage by permitting deformation or failure of a calibrated sc in the event...
