Avoid and Correct Errors

Yarn Feeding

ADF W

  • Adjust the yarn feeding to the weft yarn.
    The yarn carrier tip has to match the yarn.
  • Use yarn carrier with bypass when:
    • the yarn "sticks" in the yarn tube (1)
      Remedy: Use assembly kit bypass, see
    • the yarn cannot be threaded in the yarn carrier tip (2).
      Remedy: Use "Yarn carrier carriage with bypass" kit, see

      Tip: Use additional yarn brake.
      The yarn brake prevents that the yarn tension arm (yarn control unit) pulls off yarn from the bobbin.
      See Yarn brake (ID 4170 266 739)
  • Correct the position of the weft yarn carrier (YCI / YPI):
    (Edit the distance of the yarn carrier to the presser foot)
    (Setup Editor -> Yarn carrier menu -> YC/YCI tab or YPI tab)
  • Set the weft yarn carrier higher (vertical correction) -> better guidance of the yarn in the presser foot groove
  • Gauge range E10-E18:
    Increase the restoring force at the yarn control device. For this, assemble a yarn control unit of the coarser gauge range (E5-E8) (ID 4170 270 467).

CMS W

  • Adjust the yarn feeding to the weft yarn.
  • If a bigger tip is needed then take a yarn carrier of a coarser gauge.
  • Set the lateral yarn tensioner and the yarn control unit so that no loops are created at the fabric selvedge.
