Open-end spinner maintenance which reduces wear on rotor - carries out at least rotor cleaning before mobile unit leaves station

摘要

At an open-end spinning station, a mobile maintenance unit effects splicing actions to repair broken yarns and clean the assembly. Before the maintenance unit leaves the station, at least the spinning rotor is cleaned. Pref., the rotor housing is opened for the rotor to be cleaned as well as the rotor housing interior, and the rotor housing is held open during the maintenance. The maintenance unit carries out a series of two to five attempts to restore a stopped open-end spinning station into production. USE/ADVANTAGE - The operation is for the maintenance of spinning operations, at open-end spinning stations, where a mobile unit travels along the spinning line to splice broken yarns and clean the assemblies.
