Abstract

Method for operating a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine ( 1 ) with multiple workstations ( 2 ), each equipped with at least two feed bobbins ( 6, 13 ), one feed bobbin ( 6 ) being creeled on a spindle ( 3 ) of the workstation ( 2 ) and at least one further feed bobbin ( 13 ) being creeled on a creeling device ( 12 ) associated with the workstation ( 2 ). The yarns ( 7, 15 ) of the feed bobbins ( 6, 13 ) are guided together in a balloon yarn guide ( 5 ) and cabled, and the cabled yarn is wound to form a take-up bobbin ( 16 ). The feed bobbin ( 6 ) creeled on the spindle ( 3 ) has half the weight of the take-up bobbin ( 16 ) to be produced and the dimensions of the spindle ( 3 ) are adapted to the diameter of the reduced feed bobbin ( 6 ).

Claims (5)

1. Method for operating a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine ( 1 ) with a large number of workstations ( 2 ), which are each equipped with at least two feed bobbins ( 6 , 13 ), one feed bobbin ( 6 ) being creeled on a spindle ( 3 ) of the workstation ( 2 ) and at least one further feed bobbin ( 13 ) being creeled on a creeling device ( 12 ) associated with the workstation ( 2 ), in that the yarns ( 7 , 15 ) of the feed bobbins ( 6 , 13 ) are guided together in a balloon yarn guide ( 5 ) and cabled, and in that the cabled yarn is wound to form a take-up bobbin ( 16 ), characterized in that the feed bobbin ( 6 ) creeled on the spindle ( 3 ) has half the weight of the take-up bobbin ( 16 ) to be produced.

2. Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the creeling device ( 12 ) is equipped with at least one feed bobbin ( 13 ), the total weight of which corresponds to that of the take-up bobbin ( 16 ) to be produced or exceeds it.

3. Method according to claim 2 , characterized in that the creeling device ( 12 ) is equipped with at least one feed bobbin ( 13 ), the total weight of which is an integral multiple of the weight of the feed bobbin ( 6 ) on the spindle ( 3 ).

4. In combination, a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine ( 1 ) with a large number of workstations ( 2 ), and at least two feed bobbins ( 6 , 13 ) at each workstation, wherein one feed bobbin ( 6 ) is creeled on a spindle ( 3 ) of the workstation ( 2 ) and at least one further feed bobbin ( 13 ) is creeled on a creeling device ( 12 ) associated with the workstation ( 2 ), in that the spindle has a spindle pot ( 8 ), into which a feed bobbin ( 6 ) is introduced, characterised in that the feed bobbin ( 6 ) creeled on the spindle ( 3 ) has half the weight of the take-up bobbin ( 16 ) to be produced and the dimensions of the spindle ( 3 ) are adapted to the weight and diameter of the feed bobbin ( 6 ).

5. The combination according to claim 4 , characterized in that the external diameter of the bobbin pot ( 8 ) is about 235 mm and in that the feed bobbin ( 6 ) creeled on the spindle ( 3 ) has a diameter of about 220 mm.
