About these operating

instructions
These operating instructions describe how to oper-
ate and maintain the machine correctly.
Initial start-up and stoppage are not contained in
these operating instructions as these tasks must be
carried out by Trützschler after-sales service staff
only. This also applies to temporary stoppage of the
machine, for instance, if the machine is to be trans-
ferred to another location.
Trützschler attaches great importance to you oper-
ating the machine safely, correctly and economi-
cally. It is therefore imperative that you read this
manual through carefully before you start to work
with the machine. The operating instructions con-
tain important information that will help you to avoid
hazards and to increase the reliability and service
life of the machine and the attached components.

Introduction
Definition of machine sides

The definition of the machine sides, "left" and
"right", is in line with the definitions for spinning mill
machines in DIN/ISO 92. The direction of the flow 1
of material is definitive (arrow). For machines with
a material flow in one direction, the machine sides
are defined looking against the direction of material
flow.
Example: The operating unit (1) is situated on the
left at the front of the machine.

Introduction
Safety devices on the machine
Master switch
The master switch (3) is located on the left-hand
side of the machine, on the front of the control cab-
inet. 1 2 3 4 5
The master switch is used to switch the operating

voltage on and off. You can lock the master switch
in the OFF position, i. e. the "0" position, with a pad-
lock to prevent the machine from being switched
back on whilst maintenance or repair work is being
carried out.
Only the components downstream of the master
switch are free of voltage after the master switch
has been switched off and secured. Other electrical
circuits and cables, in particular the supply cables
to the machine, may however still carry voltage.
Emergency stop button

There are two emergency stop push-buttons; one
where the jockey rollers are (1) and one below the
drafting system cover (4). Depending on the
machine version there may be a further emergency
stop button with a strobe light on the turnstile (5) to
signal a can change.
In an emergency, press the emergency stop push-
button in as far as it will go. All drives will then be
switched off immediately and brought to a halt with
maximum deceleration.
Safety switch
When the right-hand or left-hand protective
hood (2) is opened, the machine stops and a mes-
sage appears on the control unit accordingly.
Warning and danger signs

Read and observe the warnings and instructions on
the signs attached to the machine.
The warning signs and danger signs must not be
removed.

Function of the machine

The draw frame is the spinning industry's quality
control machine. It can be used to identify and,
if necessary, remove faults on the sliver before they
cause the next spinning process to come to a
standstill or lead to a drop in the level of quality.
The flow of material
1 2 3 4 5
The slivers which are to be drawn are pulled from

up to 8 cans in the sliver feed creel (1) and led over
ceramic sliver guides (2) to the draw frame. The
jockey rollers (3) take on the slivers and guide them
to the input measuring funnel and the transport
rolls (4). They then reach the actual drafting system
(5) where the sliver is drawn to the desired sliver
count. The sliver coiling plate then deposits the
sliver in the can (6) which rotates in the can
changer. The filled cans are output.

Jockey rollers
The jockey rollers transport the slivers from the
creel to the machine as evenly as possible.
Input measuring funnel / transport rolls

The transport rolls pull the material through the
input measuring funnel. A measuring spring scans
for fluctuations in the sliver count of the material
being fed in. These fluctuations are evened off in
the drafting system.

desired sliver count. The break draft is performed
between the rear roll (3) and the middle roll (2): The
fibres are uncurled. The actual drawing of the fibres
to the desired sliver count is carried out between
the middle roll (2) and the front roll (1). A pressure
bar (6) ensures that the fibres glide evenly in the
main draft area.

Description
Sliver coiling system

The delivery rolls pull the drawn sliver material
through the output measuring funnel and deliver
it to the rotating sliver coiling plate. Beneath the
sliver coiling plate, the can which is to be filled
rotates on the rotary can plate and takes up the
sliver. The sliver coiling plate rotates at a much
higher speed and thus generates the cycloid coil-
ing.
Can changer
Empty cans are stored on the left-hand side in the
can supplier. They are transported to the turnstile
and, from there, positioned underneath the sliver
coiling plate.
The cans are changed automatically once the
desired filling level is reached. The sliver is severed
and the full can is transported out of the sliver coil-
ing area into the can delivery area. At the same
time, are new and empty can is fed from the can
supply ramp.
Control cabinet
The control unit for the draw frame is contained
on the mounting plate in the control cabinet (see
page 108). A fan and the master switch are inte-
grated into the doors of the control cabinet.
Suction
Waste (dust and fibre fly) is extracted by suction in
the following assembly groups: Jockey rolls, trans-
port rolls / input measuring funnel, top rolls, bottom
rolls and delivery rolls. The main collector on the
right-hand side of the machine branches off into the
parts of the suction system in the individual assem-
bly groups.
The filter box collects the waste (dust and fibre fly)
via the main collector from the suction system of
the entire machine. Alternatively, the draw frame
can be fitted with a central suction unit (plenum
suction).

Operating unit
The operating unit is used to set and monitor the
machine. All machine data and messages are dis-
played here. The operating unit consists of the
touch screen monitor (2), a combined display and
input panel, and the basic keys (3). The touch
screen monitor displays messages and diagrams
in the same way as a normal monitor. In addition,
inputs can be made and functions called up by
touching the displayed buttons.

Description
Basic keys (inch, stop, start)

There are five sets of basic keys on the draw frame:
On the right and left on the sliver feed creel, on the
right of the jockey rollers and on the left on the
drafting system and on the operating unit.
The operating unit also has additional lamps above
the keys. The corresponding lamp lights up for as
long as you press a key.
Power
The green power lamp shows when the operating
unit is switched on and active, even if the screen
saver is active and no display appears on the
screen. Touch the screen quickly to switch the
display back on.
Inching key / inching mode

The machine runs at reduced speed for as
long as the inching key is pressed. You can
use this to transport the sliver forwards
more slowly when feeding the material, for
instance.
The yellow inching mode lamp flashes if currently
only inching mode is available.
Stop key
Using this key, you can stop the machine to
carry out a lot change for example.
Start key
If the green start lamp is flashing, you can
press the start key. Using this key, you start
the machine when it is ready for operation.
In most cases the inching key is also active when
the start lamp is flashing.
When the drafting system hood is open, you can
press the start key on the drafting system to thread
the material into the web guide at the end of the
drafting system. The machine then runs at thread-
ing speed. If you keep the key pressed down,
the speed will increase to inching speed after
5 seconds. The machine stops when you release
the key.

If necessary, carry out a can change in order to
transport a can to below the sliver coiling plate.
Creel
1. Put the filled sliver feed cans (1) in place and
set them up in the creel feed area (2) in accor-
dance with the planned doubling. The dis-
tance between the filling level and the upper
edge of the sliver feed creel should be
approximately equal to the diameter of one
can. Adjust the height of the supports (3) as
necessary.
2. Align the cans centrally below the individual
sliver guide rings.

The slivers come out of the sliver feed creel and are
transported further by the jockey rollers. Resting on
the jockey rollers (5), are the loading rolls (3). 3 4
These are firstly removed so that the slivers can be
pulled up to the input measuring funnel.
Depending on the number of slivers being fed, you
may have to change the number of loading rolls,
see page 35.
1. Remove the loading rolls (3) and store them
for protection.
2. Thread both inner slivers between both the 5
middle guides (4). Thread each of the slivers
individually between the guides and guide the
slivers from the jockey rollers further towards
3. Set the sliver guides (4) so that the pairs of
slivers are neither allowed to run on the outer
edge of a loading roll nor meet in the middle.
Note
Do not yet put in the loading rolls!
Thread the slivers further:

1. Join together the two middle slivers from the
feed: Sever them at different lengths (thin out)
and twist to a single sliver which forms a point.

Operation
Input measuring funnel, transport rolls

The input measuring funnel should already have
been set up for the material being fed as per the 2
1
description which starts on page 72. If in doubt,
open the input measuring funnel and first select a
larger thrust bearing position to ensure the sliver
can pass through without blockages. You must
then optimise this thrust bearing position before
balancing the machine.
1. Raise the upper transport roll (3).
2. Thread the pointed sliver (1) by hand into the
input measuring funnel (2) and slowly pull it
out of the other side by hand.
3. Pull the sliver (5) further until it reaches
beyond the lower transport roll (4).
4. Lower the transport roll (3).
5. Sever off the remaining loose slivers at differ-
ent lengths and twist into the combined sliver 3
(6) to form one single sliver. This sliver can
now be processed further.
6. Place the loading rolls for the slivers onto the 5
jockey rollers. Each individual roll must load
two slivers. For six-ply slivers, use three load-
ing rolls. For eight-ply slivers, use four jockey
rollers.

Operation
Adjusting the jockey rollers

8. If necessary, adjust the guide pins: Remove
the screws on both sides at the top of the cov- 3 4
ering (4) and raise the casing. Unscrew the
2
headless screws (2) and align and fix the lat-
eral guide pins (1) so that the loading rolls are 1
next to each other in the centre and the pins
guide laterally with around 1 mm play. Close
the casing again and secure in place with the
screws.
9. Set the sliver guides (3) in front of the jockey
rollers so that two slivers, spaced evenly, are
guided under each loading roll. If necessary,
undo the adjusting screw on the underside of
the guides in order to adjust them. The slivers
should be spaced as evenly as possible.
10. Open the drafting system hood.
11. Transport the sliver through

the funnel.
12. Transport enough sliver to reach behind the

drafting system.
13. Tension all slivers from the input measuring
funnel to the creel more or less evenly. The
slivers can be allowed to hang a little in the
creel.

Drafting system
The basic setting for the "break draft spacing" and
the "main draft spacing" should already have been
carried out (page 63). The penetration depth of the
pressure bar should also have been adjusted to the
material (page 57).
DANGER
Risk of injury from crushing or becoming
trapped in running rolls rotating parts.
Do not hold onto running rolls or rotating
parts.

2. Unlock and raise the drafting system.
3. Lift the pressure bar (1) and guide the sliver
further over the bottom rolls and underneath
the pressure bar (between the two) until it
rests on the drafting system. Lower the pres-
sure bar.
4. Transport the sliver further.
5. Close the drafting system so that it engages.

In order to check whether the slivers are being fed
parallel to each other, you can temporarily remove
the upper suction hood on the drafting system.
To do so, undo both fastening screws. Replace the
suction hood if the slivers are being guided cor-
rectly.
Sliver, threading
Behind the drafting system, the sliver is thread
pneumatically through the web guide into the out-
put measuring funnel. In order to do so, the sliver
has to be drawn and severed behind the drafting
system.
The output measuring funnel should already have
been set up for the material being fed as per the
description which starts on page 75. In case of
doubt, open the output measuring funnel to ensure
that the sliver can be thread without blockages.
You must then optimise this thrust bearing position
before balancing the machine.

matically.
5. Start to thread the sliver by pressing and

holding the start key on the drafting system.
The machine runs at the reduced threading
speed because the drafting system hood is
open.
6. If you cannot thread successfully and a block-
age occurs in the web guide, release the start
key and remove the material. Repeat the
instructions from 3.
Note
For further setting options, see also

7. The material must flow freely. After approxi-
mately 5 seconds the machine accelerates to
100 m/min (inching speed). Now release the
start key.
8. Close the web guide flap (3).
9. Close the drafting system hood.
10. For roll feed method only: Lower the pressure
rolls in the sliver feed creel. The slivers may
be allowed to hang slightly.

Sliver guide plate in front of the drafting system

Set the sliver guide plate so that the slivers being
fed are guided next to each other like one wide
sliver. They must not overlap or cross over. They 1 2 3 4
must not separate between the guides (1) and (3).
A sliver can only be drawn properly if it is wide and
even. If necessary, reset the guides (1, 3) and the
spreader rolls (2, 4).
Make sure that the machine has been set up and
set for the current lot. E. g. the tension should be
set so that the slivers are as slack as possible
whilst still being guided properly.
The machine is now ready for operation and can be
started. On the regulated draw frame, the message
Calibrate regulation appears, see page 79.
Sliver end / Sliver break

If a can runs to empty or a sliver break occurs in the
feed area, a fault message is issued (Sliver break)
on the operating unit accordingly and the draw
frame is stopped.
1. Call up the fault message if it

is not displayed.
2. If the sliver has come to the end, replace

empty sliver feed cans with new ones.
3. Pull the new sliver from the sliver feed cab
over the creel to the jockey rollers.
4. Twist the new sliver onto the end of the old
sliver. Lightly pull the feed sliver so that it
does not hang down into the light barrier of
the sliver feed creel.
5. Start the draw frame.

Machine basic settings

A full description of how to feed the material can be
found in the chapter Operation.
Selecting the ply

The ply is determined by the number of sliver feed
cans (1) in the sliver feed creel (2) - usually 2
1
between 6 and 8. The number of incoming slivers
does not have to be set in the machine control unit.
Only the jockey rollers have to be adjusted to the
number of slivers.
The total draft is roughly equal to the sum of the ply
and the sliver count of the incoming and outgoing
material: Divide the total sliver weight of the incom-
ing sliver material in by the desired sliver weight of
the outgoing material (setpoint).
Adjusting the jockey rollers

One loading roll must be resting on the jockey roll-
ers for every two incoming slivers. For six slivers,
three loading rolls are required. For eight slivers,
four loading rolls must be resting on the jockey roll-
ers. Adjust the lateral guides on the loading rolls as
follows:
1. If necessary, adjust the guide pins: Remove

the screws on both sides at the top of the cov- 6
5
ering (6) and raise the casing. Unscrew the
headless screws (4) and align and fix the lat- 4
eral guide pins (3) so that the loading rolls are 3
next to each other in the centre and the pins
guide laterally with around 1 mm play. Close
the casing again and secure in place with the
screws.
2. Set the sliver guides (5) in front of the jockey
rollers so that two slivers, spaced evenly, are
guided under each loading roll. If necessary,
undo the adjusting screw on the underside of
the guides in order to adjust them. The slivers
should be spaced as evenly as possible.

Changing the web guide

The automatic threading process which uses com-
pressed air when feeding material is performed in
the web guide. The web guide forms a sliver from
the drawn fibre web and guides it to the output
measuring funnel and the delivery rolls.
The selection of web guide depends on the bulki-
ness of the material. The standard web guide has a
diameter of 11 mm. For very light and smooth sliv-
ers (under 3 to 3.5 ktex), it may be useful to use
a web guide with a diameter of 8.5 mm.
If necessary, also change the delivery rolls as
described in the previous section.
Change the web guide as follows:

2. Remove the web guide (2). 1 2
3. Press the supporting ring down and remove
the air connection (1).
4. Connect the air connection (1) to the new web
guide so that it engages.

Changing the pressure bar

The pressure bar is fitted between the middle bot-
tom roll and the front bottom roll in the drafting sys-
tem. By replacing both of the lateral holders, you
can determine the penetration depth of the pres-
sure bar. For carded cotton and short fibre material
(standard), select the holders with two cams (3).
For combed cotton and synthetic fibres, use hold-
ers with one cam (3) with which the pressure bar
penetrates 1 mm less.
Change the pressure bar holders as follows:

2. Unlock and open the drafting system.

The break draft is performed between the rear pair
of rolls (1) and the middle pair of rolls (2). The main
draft is performed between the middle pair of rolls 1 2 3
(2) and the front pair of rolls (3). The quality of the
drawn sliver is also influenced by the distances
between the pairs of rolls (A, B) as well as the
actual break draft and main draft which combine
make up the drafting system draft. The distances
must be larger than the length of the material fibres
so that they do not tear. However, the entire sliver
must be safely guided in the drafting area without
fibres being lost.
The following is a recommendation for the break
draft distance (A) and the main draft distance (B)
which you must also set in the machine operating

To set up the output measuring funnel, you must
separate the inserted draw sliver in front of the fun-
nel and pull it out of the funnel towards the direction
of material flow. 1
The following contains a basic recommendation for

setting up the output measuring funnel. Carry out a
fine adjustment of the output measuring funnel
before Machine balancing.
The three available thrust bearing positions 1 ... 3
correspond to a distance from the measuring 2
spring of 1.3 to 2.5 mm. The distance of the thrust
bearing (5) from the measuring spring (6) is deter-
mined by the position of the safety pin (4).

Output measuring funnel counter bearing position

Change the position of the output measuring funnel
thrust bearing as follows:
2. Remove material and take out the web guide. 1
3. Raise the lever (2) and open the delivery rolls.
4. Open the funnel housing (1).
5. Undo the screw (3).
6. Push out the safety pin from above (4) and
support it from below (5).
7. Reduce (in the direction of the arrow) or
increase (in the opposite direction to the
arrow) the thrust bearing gap.
– If the excursion in Machine balancing 2
(page 79) is too low (under 30), move the
measuring spring in the direction of the arrow
closer to the material by setting a lower posi-
tional value.
– If the excursion is too high (over 60), move the 4
3
measuring spring outwards in the opposite
direction to the arrow and further away from
the material using a higher positional value.
8. Insert the securing pin (5) from below into the
new position.
9. Re-tighten the screw.
10. Close the funnel housing (1).
5
11. Lower the lever (2) and close the delivery
rolls.
13. Re-thread the material.
The position of the output measuring funnel thrust
bearing is not set in the machine control.

Setting up the sliver guide plate

Set the lateral sliver guides (1, 3) and the horizontal
round rods (2, 4) in front of the drafting system so
that the incoming slivers are next to each other like
one wide sliver. They must not overlap or cross 1 2 3 4
over. The slivers must not separate between the
guides (1) and (3).
Setting the web guide compressed air

Using the pressure controller A9.1 in the pneu-
matic cabinet, you can set the compressed air
which is used to automatically thread the sliver into
the web guide. Select a value between 0.1 and
1.5 bar. Increase the pressure until the sliver is
thread cleanly.
An overview of the pneumatic unit can be found in
the appendix on page 156.
1. Pull out control knob A9.1 and change the
value. Pay attention to the display on the
pressure gauge.
2. Press the control knob back in to secure the
setting.
To determine the ideal threading pressure by trial
and error, you can display a button for this valve on
the touch screen. See page 51.
Distance from can rim

The coiled material should fill the can as full as pos-
sible without coming into contact with the rim of the
can. If necessary, change offset the central points
of the sliver coiling plate and the rotary can plate
differently. You will find a description in the operat-
ing instructions for the can changer.

Material constant
The regulation performance of the draw frame also
depends on the sliver material to be drawn. The
material constants can be adjusted to three levels.
For cotton and polyester, select a higher value (+1)
than the default value of 0. For viscose, a lower
value (-1) will achieve good results.

Grinding the top rolls

Note
The top rolls must be ground and covered
by specialist personnel only.
The top rolls in the drafting system consist of a
metal core and a fitted aluminium sleeve which is
coated with the actual rubber coating. You must
grind this coating at least every 500 operating
hours so that the top rolls maintain their original
surface roughness.
Once you have finished grinding, covering or
replacing the top rolls, reset the respective counter
in the maintenance form. See page 90.
Note
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the grinding machine!
manufacturer of the roll coatings.
– In order to return the surface to its original
level of roughness, take off around 0.15 to
0.25 mm with each grinding process.
– When grinding, the roll must not drop below
the minimum diameter of 32 mm.
– You must replace or re-coat the top rolls once
the minimum diameter has been reached and
after every 500 operating hours.
Re-coating the top rolls

You need a hydraulic press with at least 3 tons of
pressing power and a 250 mm piston stroke.
Note
manufacturer of the hydraulic press.
Remove the top roll and force the worn coating
from the metal core of top roll with the press.
When fitting the new coating, the centre points of
the roll core and the new coating must be aligned
accurately. The coating must be fitted in one
attempt.

Checking and setting belt tension

Note
Clean the toothed belts and flat belts and
all belt wheels in the machine approxi-
mately every 500 operating hours with
a brass brush.
The following is an overview of the recommended
belt tension settings, i.e. the respective frequen-
cies.
The tension of the belt is assessed indirectly from
the free running part of the belt's own frequency
measurement.
Note
manufacturer of the measuring device.
If necessary, clean the belt before measuring.
Strike the belt with your thumb or a blunt object and
use the measuring device as described in the man-
ufacturer's instructions. Make measurements as
close to the middle of the free part of the belt as
possible. Adjust the belt tension as necessary.
After replacing a belt or during maintenance work,

you must reset the tension of the belt.
1 2 3
Using an adjustable tension roller, you can loosen
the belts in order to replace them and set the belt
tension.
The respective belt is tensioned by the draw or the
pressure from the tension roller (1). Adjust belt ten-
sion as follows:
1. Unscrew the fixing nut (2).
2. Adjust the belt tension by turning the tension
nut (3).
3. Fix the tension roller in place with the fixing
nut (2).

Maintenance
Lubrication
DANGER
Risk of injury from drives, rotating parts
and belts.
Stop the machine with the stop key and
switch off the master switch. Secure the
master switch in the OFF position with
a padlock and put up a warning sign or
use other suitable means to prevent the
machine from being switched on without
authorisation.
Caution
The bearings may become damaged.
The shafts run at high speed.
Only ever use the types and quantities of
grease recommended.
Only high-value high-temperature grease, such as
SM 100/2 (INA), can ensure the bearings are well
lubricated at high running speeds.
Trützschler part numbers SM 100/2:
– 400g cartridge: 0 350 83 302 016
– 25 kg: 0 350 83 302 015
Other types of grease with the specification
KE2R-30 which are compatible with SM 100/2 are:
– Optimol Firetemp XT2 (Castrol)
– Asonic HQ72-102 (Klüber)
– Multemp SB-M (KYODO YUSHI)
Note
Use the grease gun from the tool box
delivered with the machine. One stroke
equates to a quantity of 0.4 g or 0.4 cm3.
Remove any excess grease from the lubricator nip-
ples.
Deflection rollers and tension rollers usually have a
central lubricator nipple. Flange bearings have a
lateral lubricator nipple.
