Winding Introduction The winding process is the division between the group of processes described as spinning and those described as weaving. At first sight, winding machinery appears to fulfil no purpose other than a simple transfer of yarn from one package to another. This is however, an oversimplification of the winding process. Winding is basically transferring a yarn from one type of package to another. This simple definition may make the winding sound like a trivial process; however, it is an important and necessary process that performs the following functions especially for ring spun yarns. • Winding produces a yarn package that is suitable for further processing. Ring spinning produces small packages …show more content…

Thin and thick places, slubs, neps or loose fibres on the yarn are cleared during winding and, thus the overall quality of the yarn is improved. Staple yarns require this clearing operation most because they may have these kind of faults more often. The increasing use of newer spinning technology resulted in a situation where the old concept of yarn clearing and package quality now has become a part of spinning process rather than a part of a separate winding process. Objectives of Winding • To wrap the forming yarn on a package in a systematic manner or to transfer yarn from one supply package to another in such a way that the latter is adequately compact and usable for the subsequent operations. • To remove the objectionable faults present in original yarns. Winding requirements • The fault level in the yarn must be reduced to an acceptable …show more content…

The user may not have a free choice in the sort of package he unwinds but he does have a choice when it comes to the package he builds. Consequently, it is necessary to cnosider in some detail the structures which can be built to withstand reasonable handling and use. Transferring yarn Most of the textile winding operations deal with the conversion of ringframe bobbins into cones or cheeses. As a result of high warping speed in modern machines direct use of ringframe bobbins in warping will necessitate package change after very often. This will reduce the running efficiency of warping machine. Therefore, ringframe bobbins are converted into bigger cones or cheeses. Ringframe bobbins are also not useable as transverse or weft packages because they have empty core which will require bigger size of the shuttle and thereby causing problem in shedding operations. Therefore, for shuttle looms, pirn winding operations are carried out to manufacture weft packages from cones. Motion & Withdrawing Motion Two basic motions are required for effective
