Threading-up the autarkic yarn carrier

Autarkic yarn carrier:

ADF Yarn Carriers	Function
	Yarn carriers are moved autarkic in horizontal and vertical direction

Rail allocation with 32 autarkic yarn carriers:

At the yarn carriers of the rails 1-4, the yarn carrier tips are closed at the front - open at the rear for threading-up
At the yarn carriers of the rails 5-8, the yarn carrier tips are open at the front for threading-up - closed at the rear

Two different construction types:

Yarn carrier 1A corresponds to the yarn carrier 2B
Yarn carrier 1B corresponds to the yarn carrier 2A

Special yarn carrier with ADF Weave-in machines:

Yarn Carriers	Threading up
	Bypass: The yarn won't be threaded in the yarn tube but it will rather be led over two eyelets. Only Bypass required: The yarn fits through the yarn carrier tip Coarse yarn carrier with bypass + coarse yarn control unit (stronger restoring force): Yarn (thick) does not fit through the yarn carrier tip

Usage of the yarn carrier with bypass	Explanation
with a very coarse, voluminous yarn	The yarn is too thick, and cannot be threaded in the yarn tube
with a yarn, which "sticks" in the yarn tube	After the carriage reversal, the yarn is to be fetched back (tensioned) by the tension arm of the yarn control unit so that no yarn loop is formed. The increased friction results in a yarn loop, which leads to a fault in the fabric (yarn loop, hole, drop stitch, yarn breakage).

Procedure:

1: Open the covers.

2: Move the yarn carrier to a position where it can be threaded-up easier.

3: Thread-up yarn carrier.
Use the threading aid (1) for it.

4: Push the threading aid downward through the little yarn tube (A).

5: Form a thread loop (B).

6: Pull the threading aid downward (C).

7: Unthread the thread loop and thread it manually into the yarn carrier tip (D).

8: Hold the yarn end.

DANGER

danger

The yarn carrier moves back into its knitting position!

Danger of crushing and cutting by the autarkic yarn carriers.

The yarn carriers that were moved will automatically move back into their knitting position.

9: Pull the engaging rod upward cautiously.

The yarn carriers move automatically back into their knitting position or to the clamping and cutting position.

10: If the yarn carriers are in their knitting position, the carriage starts moving and inserts the thread in the needles.

11: When the thread is inserted securely in the needles, release the engaging rod.

The carriage stops.

12: Release the yarn end and close the covers.

13: Keep moving the carriage until the reversing position is reached and stop it.

14: Remove the yarn end.

15: Continue the production or begin a new fabric.
