Cleaning Devices and Autodoffing at Ring Frame

The document discusses traveling cleaners installed on roving frames and automatic doffing and bobbin transport systems. It provides details on: 1) How traveling cleaners (blowers on rails with air jets) help keep roving frames clean by blowing fly off machines and onto the floor. 2) The process of manual and automatic doffing of full bobbins on roving frames, including positioning of roving ends and the sequence of automatic doffing. 3) How automated bobbin transport systems eliminate manual handling of bobbins, ensuring quality and reducing labor costs by up to 25% compared to manual transport.

Learning outcomes of this lecture

The students will be able to:

 Give reasons why traveling cleaners are installed on the roving frame.
 Explain how bobbin doffing system works and bobbins are transported to the
ring machine automatically.
Installation of Travelling Cleaners at Roving Frame

Roving frames not only produce a significant quantity of fly – they


also continually stir it up. This necessitates a corresponding effort to
keep the machine clean.

To relieve attendants at least partly of this burden, traveling


blowers are now increasingly being used.

These consist essentially of a powerful fan that moves back and


forth on rails above the machines.

Tubes hang down from the fan, some as far as the ground, and
have air exit jets at the appropriate heights.

The airflow created by the fan is directed by the jets onto exposed
parts of the machine.

Fly is blown off onto the floor and can be sucked away by a second
hose system, or can be brushed up periodically by hand.
Preparation for doffing
For successful doffing, the roving end must be placed in a specific
position on the roving package. Three positions are possible.

 Roving end in the middle of the roving bobbin

 Roving end as top bunch

 Roving end as bottom bunch


Preparation for doffing
F 15  roving  frame  is  equipped  with  a  doffing  aid  for  manual  doffing.  In 
order  to  facilitate  the  doffing  procedure,  the  bobbin  rail  with  the  full 
bobbins  is  lowered  and  tilted.  This  enables  the  bobbins  be  removed 
easily. 
Automatic doffing 
 Automatic  doffing  enables  labor  requirements  and 
doffing times to be drastically reduced. 

 The  fully  automated  Rieter  F  35  roving  frame  performs 


doffing in less than 2 minutes. 

 This  has  been  made  possible  by  separate  actuation  of 


bobbin rail and doffer rail by two independent frequency 
converters. 

 The  doffing  sequence  of  the       F 35  roving  frame  is 


illustrated in Fig. 33.
Doffing sequence;

1. – The bobbin rail (1) moves out and at the same time
the footboard is set up. – The doffer beam with the
empty tubes is lowered between the full bobbins (2).;
2. – The empty bobbin pegs of the doffer beam grasp the
full bobbins. (All the bobbin pegs are now occupied). –
The doffer beam moves up to reversing position.;
3. – The conveyor belt in the doffer beam moves into
intermediate position.;
4. – The doffer beam puts the empty tubes onto the
spindles.;
5. – The doffer beam moves into top position with the full
bobbins. – The slide moves in and the footboard is
lowered at the same time. – The safety zone is free
again.;
6. – The bobbin rail (1) is raised to spinning start-up
position. – The full bobbins (2) are transported to the
transfer station. – The roving frame starts up
automatically.
Transport of bobbins to the ring spinning machine
Transporting individual roving bobbins manually from the roving
frame to the ring spinning machine is labor-intensive and often
results in damage to the roving. The answer to this problem is a
roving bobbin transport system.

Today, therefore, various solutions are available for bobbin


transport from roving frame to ring spinning machine with different
degrees of automation to suit customer needs.

 Such transport systems have a number of advantages with regard


to quality and costs:
Transport of bobbins to the ring spinning machine

Quality advantages
Elimination of manual bobbin handling
Elimination of intermediate storage, which can result in damage,
soiling and aging of the roving
Elimination of the likelihood of confusion between different roving
bobbins
Ensuring the application of the “first-in, first-out” principle
Costs advantages
Space saving
Quality assurance and enhancement
Labor savings of up to 25% compared to manual bobbin transport by
reducing physical effort, reducing the distance covered by operating
personnel, improved access to the machines and improved ergonomics
Figure on next slide shows an example of automatic bobbin transport
between roving frame and ring spinning machines. Two separate
circuits in the area of roving frame and ring spinning machines
guarantee a continuous supply of roving bobbins to the ring spinning
machines.
