Adjustment of the Intarsia Yarn Carriers with ADF Machines
Optimized adjustment of the yarn carrier depends:
- on the centering of the yarn carrier tip.
It is correctly adjusted if it is located exactly between both needle beds. - on the height of the yarn carrier
If one of both settings are incorrect, there will be errors in the fabric or the needles will be damaged.
The yarn carriers are correctly adjusted if
- the thread is laid on the open latch at exactly the same point by each yarn carrier for both selvedge needles
- the yarn carrier tips move exactly between the needle beds in the needle cross and the distance between yarn carrier tips and the closed needle latch is 0.5 mm to 1 mm
- the yarn carriers of the track 1 and 16 are set 0.5 mm higher additionally so that they do not touch the limiters 3
- the yarn carrier in the clamping and cutting area does not press the cutting needle 4 located in the working position
The yarn carrier must be adjusted on the software and on the hardware side.
