Ring Frame Inverter Drive
Ring Frame Inverter Drive
Objects
of ring spinning frame:
Following
are the core objects of ring spinning-
●To draft the roving fed to the ring frame.
●To impact the strength to the fibre strand by twisting.
●To wind up the resulting yarn on to bobbin.
● To build up the yarn on to bobbin in form of a suitable for storage,
transportation and
processing.
Main
operations of ring machine:
●
Creeling: By this process the drawn sliver is introduced to the draft zone from
sliver can
manually.
●
Drafting: To reduce the weight per unit length by drafting i.e, passes of
sliver through three
or four pair of roller of different speed.
●
Twisting: To make turn within the fibre of the drafted material to hold them
together.
●
Winding: To wound the roving or to upright bobbin in a particular manner so
that it can be
used in the next machine easily.
●
Building: By this process the roving is wound in full length of the bobbin in
such a form
which will facilitate handling, transfer and feeding to ring frame.
●
Doffing: Doffing is to replace an empty bobbin at the place of fully wound
bobbin.
Features
of a good ring:
● The best quality raw material.
● Good but too high surface smoothness.
● An even surface.
● Exact roundness.
● Good running condition.
● Good, even surface hardness, higher than traveler.
● Good operating life time.
● Correct relationship between ring and bobbin tube diameter.
● Horizontal disposition.
● It should be exactly centered to the spindle.

Types of traveler
According to shape –
i. C –
Traveler (regular): It has horn.
ii.
Elliptical traveler: It has no horn.
Flat traveler
N – Traveler
SU – Traveler
According to wire cross
section –
i. Round
ii. Flat
iii.
Semi-circular
Among
the types, round and C travelers are mostly used for spinning finer count as
they give
less friction. Flat and semi-circular travelers are used for coarser yarn
[http://textileapex.blogspot.com/2013/11/yarn-classification.html] .
Functions of traveler
Twisting the drafted
roving delivered through the front roller.
Helps in winding of yarn on to
the bobbin.
Maintaining winding tension
of the yarn by the frictional resistance between ring and traveler.
Acts as a guide for the yarn on
the way from ring to bobbin.
Performs the function of
building motion and also maintain spinning tension.
Traveler no. or traveler size
Traveler
no. expresses the wt. of traveler. It can be done in two ways –
Indirect system: Here the
unit is 10 travelers. If 10 travelers weight is 10 grain then, the no. is
one.
If it is 11 grain then no. is 2 and so on. Again, if the wt. of 10 travelers is
9 grain then,
traveler size is 1/0 or 1-0. If it is 8 grain then the size is
2/0 or 2-0 and so on. That is, if the no.
is less, then the traveler is light.
In practice, travelers are available from no. 1 to 10 (Heavy
traveler) and
reversely 1/0 to 20/0 (Lighter). Commonly, for finer yarn light traveler is
used and
for coarser yarn heavy traveler is used.

This
chart is made by trial and error method. If suitable traveler cannot be chosen
then for
heavier, end breakage rate will be increase and for lighter traveler
fly will be happened. At the
same time, balloon size will also be bigger which
will increase the end breakage rate.
Direct system: Here every
individual traveler is weighted. Heavy wt. indicate heavy traveler.
Factors considered for selecting a
traveler
Yarn count : Ne ↑ traveler wt. ↓
Spindle speed : S S ↑ traveler wt. ↓
Ring dia : R D ↑ traveler wt. ↓
Empty bobbin dia : B D ↑ traveler wt. ↓
Ring condition : Condition ↑ traveler wt. ↑
Lift of
package : Lift ↑traveler wt.
↓
Traveler X-section : For round x-section heavy traveler
can be used.
Over all m/c condition: If
good, then comparatively heavy traveler can be used.

Smaller
ring size
Advantages
Favors higher spindle
speed and higher front roller speed, hence higher production is possible.
Smaller gauge of frame
means more spindle/frame, hence less floor space is required for a
desired mill
unit.
Less initial
capital investment for a desired mill unit.
Requires lighter
traveller, hence less frictional resistance causing less wearing out of the
rings.
Favors the spinning of
higher count of yarn.
Disadvantages
Smaller yarn packages
cause more knots, hence inferior yarn qualities.
More cost of doffing,
spooling, winding, reeling etc.
Shorter lifts and
therefore smaller yarn package.
Careful attention and
manipulation for the operators for smaller gauge of the frame.

The
following factors effect the degree of ballooning –
The
weight of the balloon length – The length of the yarn
which shows the ballooning effect
is called the balloon length. The degree of
ballooning varies inversely as the wt. of the balloon
length i.e. higher the
balloon length-weight, smaller the balloon size.
Yarn
count – The degree of ballooning varies directly with the
yarn count i.e. higher the yarn
count, lighter the yarn and higher the balloon
size.
Speed
of the traveller – Higher the speed of the traveller,
larger the balloon size.
Weight
of the traveller – Lighter the traveller, larger the
balloon.
Atmospheric
resistance surrounding it – Higher the resistance, smaller the
balloon.
Frictional
resistance at the thread guide and at the traveller against the passage of the
thread – Higher this resistance, smaller the balloon size.
The effect of item no. 5 and 6 is little on
ballooning. The following measures may be taken
to control the ballooning –
The use of correct traveller size.
The use of correct traveller speed.
The use of separator or balloon guards between
the two rings.
By lowering the thread-guide rail to the
correct position.
Skewer –
Bad skewer ends or tips or any other fault which prevent the free rotation of
the
roving bobbin.
Traverse guide on roving guider –
Traverse guide when
collecting fly blocks the regular passage of the roving.
No middle traverse guide
when using double roving.
Roving –
Bad piecing in the
roving.
Stretched roving.

Irregular roving.
More twist applied in the
roving leading to “shedding through” at the ring.
Single roving when using
double.

in the roving.
More waste in the roving.
Drafting zones –
Incorrect break draft.
Roller lapping.
Worn or grooved
roller.
Rust on the bobbin
drafting.
Worn aprons.
Pneumatic
system does not work properly so that the drafted strand of fibres fly entangles
with the side end and cause breakage.
Irregular distribution of
draft in the drafting zones.
Incorrect weight
distribution on the top roller.
Improper weighting of the top roller.
Incorrect
setting of the drafting rollers in relation to the average staple length of
fibres under
processing.
Lappet rail –
Incorrect setting of the
lappet is not at the straight line with the top of the spindle.
Dwell at each end of the
traverse of the lappet rail.
Starting up of the
m/c when the lappet rail is at the top position.
Ring –

Grease or gum on and
under side of the ring flange.
Traveller –
Heavy or lighter traveller [http://textileapex.blogspot.com/2014/08/traveler.html] than that required for the
count.
Worn traveller.
Traveller flying
off.

the bolster cage or insert.
Bent spindle is out of
centre of the spindle.
Excessive spindle
speed than that requires for the count.
Obstructed spindle speed
by accumulation of fibres beneath the spindle.

Other causes –
Flying fibres.
Incorrect relative
humidities.
Wind in the spinning
section.
Bad piecing up of the
yarns.
Shorter
staple when used for higher count.
Immature short or broken
fibres in the sliver.
Weaker fibres.
Improper lubrication of the m/c.
Lack of
proper cleaning of the m/c floor.
Irregular maintenance and
over haul.
Soft yarn –
Generally caused by slack spindle bundles, twist change wheel too large, empty
bobbins not properly pushed down during doffing.
Uneven yarn –
Either travellers are too heavy or for spinning fine counts from inferior
cotton.
Fuzzy yarn –
Rings too large, by ballooning [http://textileapex.blogspot.com/2014/10/ballooning-effect.html] or
bad lubrication of ring frame rollers.
Twisty and brittle yarn –
Worn rings and travellers [http://textileapex.blogspot.com/2014/08/traveler.html]
are too heavy or lack
of humidity in spinning room.
Rough yarn –
Traveller too light, too much twist, and spindle speed too low, bobbins that
are
rough at the top.
Badly wound yarn –
Caused by the defective traveller motion and also by bobbin being loose
on the
spindle.
Tender yarns –
Imperfect traveller, waste on travellers, adjustment of ring rail not correct,
thread guide not in the right position.
Hard and inelastic yarn –
Too much twisting and drafting in the draw frame
[http://textileapex.blogspot.com/2014/01/drawing-objects-necessity.html] and also for insufficient doubling later.
Slub –
This occur when the twist in the yarn is not uniform. It appears as thick
place, which has
received insufficient twist. This is caused by what is called
thick roving. Two rovings over
lapping each other, which thus passing through
the rollers without receiving the amount of twist
required.
Nepped yarns –
So called because it contains small piece of hard cotton called neps. These are
two kinds: Commonly distinguish as
natural neps and will neps. The former consists of short
and undeveloped fibres
that have become embedded in the yarn. The latter are impurities and
also short
fibres usually found adhering to the surface of the threads.
Classification of
drafting system in the ring frame | Explanation of a modern
system [http://textileapex.blogspot.com/2014/11/drafting-system-in-ring-
frame.html]
Drafting
system can be broadly classified under two heads namely –
Regular drafting system
without apron. And
Drafting system with
apron.
The
system with apron can again be classified into three groups –
Single apron system.
Double apron system.

It acts
as a second guide for the yarn on the way to be wound on the bobbin.
It
performs the function of building motion to wind the constant length of yarn
delivered by
the front roller. In speed frame bobbin r.p.m changes with the
increase of bobbin diameter but
in ring frame the bobbin r.p.m remains constant
and the traveller r.p.m increases with the
increase of bobbin diameter.
It
also performs many other functions involving highly complicated problems of
higher
physics.
Creel –
The function of the creel is to hold the
roving bobbin over a roller beam within a
convenient height to easily handle
the roving. The creel must permit free running of the roving
bobbins with
slight tension on it.
Spindle –
The
spindle holds the bobbin somewhat loosely but tight enough to prevent any
slippage, so
that the bobbin can be lifted out of the spindle with little
exertion.
With the
help of the ring and traveller the spindle inserts twist in the yarn being
delivered by
the front roller.
It
also carries out another important function of winding the twisted thread on
the bobbin
with the help of ring and traveller.
Roving guide –
The guides are mounted at the right
angle to the flat bar called traverse bar. The object of
the guide is to feed
the roving correctly at the bite of the back roller and the traverse motion
moves the strand almost over the entire length of the bite and this prevents
the drafting rolls
from being grooved at a particular place.
Lappet motion or thread board
traverse –
The main function of the thread board
traverse is to maintain the balloon size within the
controlling range. To keep
the balloon length within the controlling limit, the thread board is
necessarily be made to traverse relative to the ring rail. For 8” lift bobbin
the traverse of the
ring rail is more or less confined within the range from 1”
– 1.5” and higher traverse for higher
lift of the machine.
The slow traverse of lappet-rail also
facilitates the easy passage of the yarn from the front
roller to the bobbin.
