Working with the weave-in device

Watch out the following points:

Height of the weave-in device

  • The weave-in device is to guide the weft yarn (touch slightly), but not press too hard, so that the weft yarn does not get damaged or elongated.

The adjustment height depends on:

  • Quality of the weft yarn (friction coefficient, elasticity, twisting, moisture, hairiness, tensile strength)
  • Yarn gauge of the weft yarn, yarn count / twisted yarn
  • Yarn tension, yarn feeding

If the weave-in device is adjusted too high, the weft yarn is partially above the stitches of the basic yarn.

Remedy: Step by step, adjust the weave-in device deeper.

Yarn tension of the weft yarn

  • In case of a very elastic weft yarn, we recommend using a feed wheel.
  • If a yarn loop results when changing the direction of the weft yarn carrier, a higher restoring force is necessary.
    • Increase the restoring force at the yarn control device
    • Gauge range E10-E18:
      Assemble a yarn control unit of the coarser gauge range (E5-E8):
      ADF: ID 4170 270 467
      CMS: ID 4170 237 124

Carriage Speed

Start with a lower carriage speed (e.g. 0.7 m/sec) and increase it step by step.

Yarn carrier staggering optimized by rows (YDopt)

Recommendation:
Work with YDopt, so that the Weave-in device - Yarn carrier distance is automatically taken into account.

Working without YDopt

  • YDF=2
  • Assign the yarn carriers so that the weft yarn carriers are placed on the inner tracks. Thus, shorter run time can be achieved.
    Inner Tracks:
    CMS-W = track 4 + 5
    ADF 16-W =
    track 4 + 5
    ADF 24-W =
    track 6 + 7
    ADF 32-W =
    track 7, 8, 9 +10
  • With the yarn carrier staggering YD ensure that there is sufficient space for switching on and off the weave-in device.
  • Yarn carrier staggering if the weave-in device is active:
