ADF - ASCON from Top

Assembly of the ASCON device

This is described in the assembly instructions: 279269_00_bedan_Montage_ASCON_von_oben.pdf

Remove yarn guide bracket

Remove the yarn guide brackets (1) (3 units) on the front yarn guide bar. The yarn guide brackets hinder the run of yarn to the yarn control unit.

Determine height

For the ASCON device to operate correctly, you determine the height of the yarn guide device.

Measure the distance "Yarn carrier - Yarn control unit".

For doing this, proceed as follows:

    1
    Move the yarn carrier (3) exactly below the yarn control unit (2).
    2
    Measure the distance "Eyelet - Yarn control unit".
    3
    Open the Controle do comprimento menu.
    Configurar a máquina -> Dados da máquina -> Controle do comprimento
    4
    Tap on the lower area of the button.
  1. The dialog box is opened.
    2. 5
    Enter the height using the virtual keyboard.
    6
    Confirm entries with OK.
    7
    Activate the Controle do comprimento do fio de cima button.

Additional bobbin board

Recommendation: Position the bobbins on the middle and the lower additional bobbin board.

Course of yarn

There is a fixed allocation of measuring wheel, yarn control unit and yarn carrier.

This allocation effects:

Configure measuring wheels

In the Setup Editor you specify, which measuring wheel operates together with which yarn carrier (Y) and yarn control unit (YCU).

This specifications are important for the ASCON device to be able to operate correctly.
With the ADF machine the yarn length depends on which yarn carrier it is thread-up.

Threading up

Adjusting yarn tension

The minimum tension of 8 cN must be set on the yarn control unit and on the yarn brakes, so that the ASCON device can operate correctly.

    1
    Thread in the thread up to the end of the yarn control unit.
    2
    Clamp the yarn end in the coil spring of the adjustment weight.
  1. Adjustment weight
    2. 3
    If the weight pulls down the thread, close the yarn brake until the weight stops.
  2. The yarn tension is 8 cN.
    For a thin, smooth yarn this yarn tension can be too low.
    3. 4
    Remedy: hook-in two adjusting weights in the yarn and repeat point 3.
  1. The yarn tension is 16 cN.
    If this yarn tension is too high, reduce the adjustment step by step on the yarn control unit.

Adjust all the yarn control units precisely, as the yarn tension considerably influences the measuring.

Thread the yarns through the ASCON device so that they do not cross each other.
