The movement of the yarn guide to catch the yarn at the bobbin sleeve, and wind the bobbin on to it, is controlled according to the rotary speed of the bobbin sleeve. When the rotation of the sleeve reaches the winding speed level, the yarn is caught and wound. The position of the yarn catch groove is registered by a sensor at the catch unit, which generates a signal to release the yarn guide move...

The bobbin winder assembly, which is fed with a continuous yarn (1) for winding, has a yarn guide (18) which is in front of the rotating bobbin sleeve (13) in the direction of yarn travel, and the suction yarn catch unit (37) is after the sleeve. To sever the yarn, on a bobbin change, the yarn guide and suction unit are at a transfer plane. The transfer unit (42) has a grip arm (43), which moves p...

A process and a low-output plant (10, 12, 13) for the continuous slab-stock foam. An MDI-based chemical component is mixed with a polyole and carbon dioxide (CO2) and the frothed mixture is delivered on a substrate (11) moving toward a slab-stock cutting zone (16). The quantity of carbon dioxide (CO2) is kept at a value greater than 1 %, preferably within 1.5 and 5 % in respect to the polyole comp...

An oscillator that has a substantially-constant voltage source configured such that it does not require the voltage source to be tuned to a particular voltage to oscillate a particular frequency. The oscillator has greater precision and reliability since the inputs of the comparator are periodically switched to reduce the effects of comparator bias and to equalize the voltage stresses on the input...
