Exp 3 Operating Sequence of Simplex (for Students 1)

The document outlines Experiment No. 3, which focuses on the passage diagram and operating sequence of a speed frame used in textile manufacturing. It details the tasks of the roving frame, including the attenuation of sliver, insertion of twist, and winding into transportable packages. The operating sequence describes the process from presenting slivers to the machine to the controlled winding operation on a bobbin, ensuring efficient material handling and package formation.

Experiment no.

3
Name of the experiment: Passage diagram and operating sequence
of speed frame.

Objects:
i) To know the passage of material in the machine.
ii) To know the name of different parts of the machine.
iii) To know the working principle of the machine.

Task of the roving frame:


i) Attenuation of the draw frame sliver.
ii) Insertion of a small amount of twist to strengthen the roving.
iii) Winding of the roving into a package that can be transported, stored and
used in the ring spinning machine.

Operating sequence:
1. Draw frame sliver is presented to the speed frame in large cans (1). The
can diameter does not correspond to the spindle gauge, so that the cans are
not arranged in one raw but in several which have to be disposed behind
the machine.
2. Driven transport rollers (2) are provided above the cans. These draw the
slivers from the cans and forward them to the drafting arrangement (3).
3. The drafting arrangement attenuates the slivers with a draft of between 5
and 20. The delivered strand is too thin to hold itself together and a
strength-imparting step is necessary immediately at the exit from the
drafting arrangement. This is performed by inserting protective twist,
usually in the range 30-65 turns per meter.
4. The turns are created by the rotating flyer (4) and transmitted into the
unsupported length between the flyer and the delivery from the drafting
arrangement. The flyer itself forms part of the driven spindle (5) and is
rotated with the spindle.
5. To ensure that the roving is passed safely and without damage to the
wind-up point, it runs through the flyer top and the hollow flyer leg, and is
wound 2-3 times around the presser arm before reaching the bobbin (6).
6. To enable winding, the driven bobbin is given a higher peripheral speed
than the flyer and thus the roving is drawn off the flyer leg. The coils must
be arranged very closely and parallel to one another so that as much
material as possible is taken up in the package.
7. For this purpose, the bobbin rail (7) with the packages on it must move up
and down continuously. This can be affected by continual raising and
lowering of the lever (8) on which the bobbin rail is supported.
8. Since the diameter of the packages increases with each wound layer, with
a corresponding increase in the wound length of roving per coil, the speed
of movement of the bobbin rail must be reduced by a small amount after
each completed layer.
9. Similarly, owing to the increase in the package diameter, the bobbin
rotation rate must be reduced after each layer, because the delivery is
constant and hence the difference between the peripheral speeds of the
package and flyer must also be held constant throughout the winding
operation.
10.Only in this way a controlled winding operation can be achieved.
