Fabric Manufacturing Engineering-I

Precision Winding
In this type of winding, successive coils of yarn are laid parallel or nearly parallel to each other.
This process makes it possible to produce a very dense package with the maximum amount of
yarn stored in a given volume.

Features

✓ Package are wound with a reciprocating traverse


✓ Package contains more yarn
✓ The package is hard and compact
✓ The package is dense
✓ Rate of unwinding of the package is low
✓ The wound coils are arranged in a parallel or near-
parallel manner

Non-Precision Winding
In this type of winding, the package consists of a single thread which is laid on the package at an
appreciable helix angle so that the layers cross one another and give stability. The packages
formed by this type of winding are less dense but are more stable.

Features

✓ Only one coil is used to make the package


✓ Cross winding technique is used
✓ The package density is low
✓ Minimum number of yarns wound
✓ The package formed is soft and less compact
✓ The stability is high
✓ Flanges are not required
✓ The rate of unwinding is high and the process is easy
✓ The packages formed have low density

Differences between Precision and Non-Precision Winding

Auxiliary Functions of Winding

➢ Creeling:
Creeling is the placement of full packages in a position ready to be unwound as part of the
transfer operations. An alternative meaning is the removal of the exhausted packages & their
replacement with full ones.

➢ Doffing:
Doffing is the removal of newly wound packages & the replacement of these with empty
packages which will receive yarn during the transfer process. It will be noted that creel
packages are emptied as the packages to be doffed are filled.

➢ Piecing:
Piecing is the finding & connecting of the ends on the packages. The connection between the
ends can be made by knotting, adhesion, or welding. Such connections are required whenever
an end breaks or when a creeling operation has been completed.

Yarn Guides
Yarn guides are devices that control yarn paths. In winding and unwinding, it is necessary to
control the yarn path. For side withdrawal, the yarn can pass along a smooth unvarying yarn path.
But for over-end withdrawal, the yarn does not move along a fixed path because rotary motion
is imparted by the yarn winding. For a given yarn speed and package size, the position of the
yarn guide will determine the balloon shape and the yarn tension. Guides are made of hard steel
or ceramic.

Necessity of yarn guides:

✓ To control the yarn path.


✓ To produce the required shape package.
✓ Minimize yarn vibration.
✓ Reduce the chance of balloon formation.

Types of Yarn Guides

Type-1: A yarn end is required for threading

✓ Take extra time for threading


✓ The speed of operation is decreased
✓ Occur more friction with the yarn
✓ More costly
✓ No possibility of running out the yarn

Type-2: A yarn end is not required to threading

✓ Easy process
✓ Speed of operation is increased
✓ Occur less friction with the yarn
✓ Low cost
✓ Possibility to run out the yarn

Yarn Tensioning Device (Tensioner):


Yarn Tensioner is a device by which the required tension is apply to the yarn. It is an important
device because it enables us to provide the necessary tension to the yarn as it moves through the
different parts of the machine
