Abstract

A method for operating a spindle ( 2 ) of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine, in which an outer yarn ( 5 ) is drawn off a first feed package ( 7 ) and the spindle ( 2 ) rotates in a yarn balloon (B), wherein the spindle ( 2 ) comprises a device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension of an outer yarn ( 5 ), which is connected to a control circuit ( 18 ), and has a spindle pot ( 19 ) for receiving a second feed package ( 15 ), a yarn deflection device ( 20 ), a balancing system ( 9 ) for forming a twisting or cabling point as well as a spooling and winding device ( 12 ). The drive of the yarn balloon (B) is performed via a fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) on the yarn deflection device ( 20 ).

Claims (22)

1. Method for operating a spindle ( 2 ) of a workstation ( 1 ) of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine, in which an outer yarn ( 5 ) is drawn from a first feed package ( 7 ) and rotates in a yarn balloon (B) around the spindle ( 2 ), the spindle ( 2 ) having a device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension of an outer yarn ( 5 ) which is connected to a control circuit ( 18 ), and having a spindle pot ( 19 ) for receiving a second feed package ( 15 ), a yarn deflection device ( 20 ), a balancing system ( 9 ) for forming a twisting or cabling point and a spooling and winding device ( 12 ),

characterized in that,

the yarn balloon (B) is driven via a fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) on the yarn deflection device ( 20 ); and

the workstation ( 1 ) is operated without a storage disc.

2. Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the workstation ( 1 ) is operated with a rotatably mounted barrel tensioner ( 26 ).

3. Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that adjusting the yarn balloon form by the device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension.

4. Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the control circuit ( 18 ) controls the device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension such that the desired yarn balloon size is achieved.

5. Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the control circuit ( 18 ) controls the device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension such that there is always a minimal yarn balloon size.

6. Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the control circuit ( 18 ) when starting up or powering down the spindle ( 2 ) and in the case of a brief power cut controls the device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension such that a yarn balloon size is achieved which avoids contact with the spindle pot ( 19 ).

7. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine comprising a spindle ( 2 ) of a workstation ( 1 ), which has a device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension of an outer yarn ( 5 ), which is connected to a control circuit ( 18 ), and has a spindle pot ( 19 ) for receiving a second feed package ( 15 ), a yarn deflection device ( 20 ), a balancing system ( 9 ) for forming a twisting or cabling point and a spooling and winding device ( 12 ),

characterized in that,

the rotatably mounted yarn deflection device ( 20 ) has a fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) for the outer yarn ( 5 ), and

the workstation ( 1 ) is operated without a storage disc.

8. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the yarn deflection device ( 20 ) is in a form of a twisting plate ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c ).

9. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the yarn deflection device ( 20 ) is in a form of twisting blades ( 22 a , 22 b , 22 c ).

10. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) of the yarn deflection device ( 20 ) is formed by an eyelet ( 23 ).

11. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) of the yarn deflection device ( 20 ) is formed by a slot ( 24 ) which is open at the bottom of the yarn deflection device ( 20 ).

12. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) of the yarn deflection device ( 20 ) is formed by a closed channel ( 25 ).

13. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) of the yarn deflection device ( 20 ) is a component of a rotatably-mounted barrel tensioner ( 26 ).

14. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the fixed throw-off point ( 21 ) is self-threading.

15. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension is a brake.

16. Two-for-one twisting or cabling machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the device ( 6 ) for influencing the balloon yarn tension functions as a yarn delivery device.
