DRAFT:
Select the draft on the basis of the gearing diagram. " adjust the draft less zones " so that the
web is slightly stressed
The best method is to reduce the draft until a slight pile - up of the fibres occurs. Based on the
measure, increase the drart by one tooth on the change gear

 THE LAP CHANGE TAKES PLACE AS FOLLOWS:

COMANDER 1 . preselection ( length of lap less than 1 metre ). swithches off the motor                
                              indirectly  and switches on the valves S1 and S2.
                              The machine stops and the clutch  K disengages.
                              The lapping apparatus is disconnected, the lap is relieved.
                              Pistion X turns the lap roller by 1.3 m and the lap is severed.

COMANDER 2. Final selection comes into action. Desired length of lap and switches on                                  Valve S3.                                                                      .                                                                    
                              Lap heads are lifted and the lap is released.
                              The limit switch b5 is actuated at the same time.

LIMIT SWITCH B5 :    Switches on valve S4 and S5.
                             Lap spool magazine swings inwards, pushes the full lap out    and supplies    Fresh lap spools .                .                                                                   .
                    S          Spool magazine on reaching its end position actuates the limit switch b6.                                                              

LIMIT SWITCH B6:    Switches on valves S6 and S7.
                                  Full lap which has been pushed out is pushed aside. On reaching the end
                                  of its stroke, the piston V actuates limit switch B12.

LIMIT SWITCH B12:       Resets comander U1
COMANDER   U1 :         Switches off valves S1, S2  and S3 again.
                                   Clutch K re-engages; severing piston X returns to starting position.
                                Lap heads grip the lap spools, move down wards away from switch B5    and   the   actuates     limit    switch    B14         .
LIMIT SWITCH B14 : ( adjustable )
                                   Switches off valves S4 and S5.
                                   Now spool magazine moves back away from limit switch B6 and actuates limit    switch B13 .                                             .
                                The return motion of the magazine is thus  delayed by means of seizing  relay D6  .                                                         .
                                  Until the limit switch B14 is pressed. This helps to avoid the rubbing of lap  discs  with    the   spool magazine .                      .
                                   Spool magazine moves back away from limit switch B6 and actuates B13.

LIMIT SWITCH b13 :       Switches on the machine again.

    The higher the lap weighting, the harder and heavier the lap becomes. Excessive weighting, however , results in hairy lap sheets which means that the layers of the lap stick to each other when unrolling it.

CHANGE PLACES AND ITS EFFECTS:

a)     CALENDER ROLLER AND SHELL ROLLER SPROCKET WHEELS:

         The wheels alters only shell roller speed.  For calendar roller 24 t and 25 t wheels are only possible, for lap roller only 76 t wheel is possible and for shell roller 77t , 78 t and 79 t wheels are possible, but normally 78 t wheel is preferred.

b)     BREAK DRAFT CHANGE GEAR ( Wn )

         this wheel alters the 4 th roller speed ( alter it when you required high break draft ).  Less number of teeth gives lower break draft. Only 54 t to 65 t gear wheels are possible.

c)     FEED CHANGE WHEEL ( Wa )

        It alters the steel roller and creel rollers speed.  It effects tension draft also.  Less number of teeth gives higher feed rate and more number of teeth gives lower feed rate.

d)     CALENDER ROLLER DRAFT CHANGE GEAR :

      It alters the tension between the front roller and delivery calender roller .  less number of teeth gives lower draft between calender roller to front roller and more number of teeth gives higher dreft between calender roller to front roller.

e)     MAIN DRAFT CHANGE GEAR ( Z1 ) :

      It alters the main draft . less number of teeth gives higher main draft and more number of teeth gives lower main draft.

f)      DELIVERY DRAFT CHANGE GEAR ( 17 , 18 AND 19 ) :

    It alters delivery rate. Alters only draft between front roller to calendar roller.






SOME SETTINGS AND ITS EFFECTS:

MAGAZINE SETTING:
1.     Clearance at rear from spool centering wall is 1mm. This setting cantrols the spools come freely from spool magazine to lap disc.
2.     clearance at delivery side from spool to centering wall 5mm. This setting cantrol the spool damage , and also good winding on the spool.      

LAP DISCS:
1.     Insert rings or bearing cover clearnce should maintain 0.5mm ( setting inside lapdisc piston )
2.     Setting between lap disc to lap roller  with spool position 1mm.should be maintained. This control lap edge position. This setting is to adjusted by means of distance rings provided inner side of lap disc chamber.



LAPPING APPARATEES WITH AUTOMATIC LAP CHANGER “ AUTOLAP “ :
      The lap weighting system consists of 4 cylinders with associated pistons and piston rods namely two long stroke vertical cylinders for lifting and lowering the lap discs and two short stroke horizontal cylinder for nipping the lap spools.

      The lap discs have a short projections for centering the lap spools. They are mounted in anti-friction bearings on the lap disc shafts. The vertical cylinders are rigidly screwed to the inside of the lateral frame members.

      The horizontal cylinders for lateral nipping of the lap form a self contained unit together with the guide heads. These heads run in removable guide channels fitted into the lateral frame members. All operations are controlled automatically and besides these advantages , the pneumatic weighting system permits infinitely.

DRAFTING ARRANGEMENT:

     The sliver lap machine model E 2/4a  is provided with a DK2 drafting arrangement . it have 2 pairs of fluted steel top rollers for better grip of fibres.
This comprises two double nip assemblies consisting of two bottom rollers each topped by a rubber roller, with a succeeding simple nip assembly. Each consisting of fluted bottom roller and top roller. Each double nip assembly is followed by a drafting field and preceded by a draft less zone.

      The fluted roller pairs have the advantage that can hold securely even the large fibber masses.  Owing to the fibber mass being positively pressed into the flutings, however , the delivery rate of the roller pair is as much as 20 % higher than that calculated on the roller diameter and this factor must be taken  into consideration in draft calculation.

TOP ROLLER WEIGHTING:
      The drafting arrangement is pneumatically weighed.  A tube running under the drafting arrangement on each side contains flexible nose which has an internal over pressure and forces a row of pressure shoes down.  Within the range of a weighing hook, this takes the pressure from the shoes and transmits it over a draw bolt to the top rollers.  The compressed air to the drafting system is obtainted from the compressor pipe line through a pressure regulator.  The three way valve helps to cut off the pressure in the drafting system.
     It permits weighting and relief immediately with out affecting the pressure setting.



TOTAL DRAFT AND BREAK DRAFT:

    When the total draft is greater than 1.5 the break draft should be kept as 1.3
in this case  45 t gear is to be fixed on the roller 4 and 46 t gear on the roller 6.

   In special cases if a lesser break draft is required it is possible to obtain .  for example a break draft of 1.22 can be obtained by fixing 48t wheel on the roller 4 and 1.15 by fixing 51 t wheel on the roller 4.

    When the total draft is less than 1.5 a break draft of 1.05 is recommended.  In this case 50 t gear is fixed on the roller 4 and 37 t gear on the roller.


SPOOL DIMENSIONS:

   SPOOL OUTER DIAMETER : 145MM
   SPOOL LENGTH                  : 250MM

  The diameter of the lap spool must not differ by more than 1.0mm.
  the cloth should over lap  10 to 20 mm.
Both spool and cloth should coated with high grade Neoprene Adhesive such as balcome.

           Cotton fabric   =   240 gms/square meter.

SETTING THE LAP DISCS:

  Both sides of the lap roller to the lap discs clearance   =  1.0 mm

  width of the lap roller                                               = 248 mm
  width of the shell roller                                            = 250 mm

CLUTCH:

        The clutch serves to interrupt the delivery from the lapping apparatus when severing the full lap. To ensure that the opening and closing of the clutch are timed properly throttle discs 0.4mm and 0.6;mm are fitted in the air line with the additional throttle discs provided, it is possible to alter this timing.

COMPRESSED AIR:

     The operating pressure must be at least 6 kg/cm2 at the inlet of the m/c.
     Lap loading air pressure to be on  no account more than 5 kg/cm2 is to be adjusted.

SETTING THE BREAK:  
           The brake is fitted in to the v-belt pulley on the main shaft and is operated by means of pneumatic cylinder .

    As soon as the pre selected length ( 1 mtr ) less then the delivery length is obtained the break.  This operated S8 for which air supplied by means of special regulator with mono meter ( after necessary reduction in pressure ).


TABLE GUIDES:
     The guides knobs are adjusted in way to approach the sliver to their neighbors tightly without running over each other or pressing the slivers in the center wards.


TECHNOLOGICAL TROUBLE


TROUBLE
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REMEDY

 1) Lap “ blisters “
lap roller turns too fast.
Use large sprocket on front lap roller.
2)  Lap  “ hairs “ when                         unrolling.
Lap pressure too high climatic influences.
Reduce lap pressure.
Climate: 50 to 60% RH at
23 to 25 °c.
3) Ribbon is drawn down between back lap roller & lap disc.
        (Or)
ribbon has excessively thick edges.
Ribbon guide is set too wide.
Set ribbon guide closer;
shift guide stud on table accordingly.
4) Ribbon leaving drafting arrangement is wavy.
Pressure of drafting arrangement too low.
         (Or)
Drafting arrangement is set too close.
Increase the pressure.


Set wider.
5) Ribbon is cloudy.
Pressure of drafting arrangement too low.
        (Or)
Drafting arrangement is set too wide.
Increase the pressure.


Set closer.
6) Ribbon shows cloudy or wavy length      wise strips.
The slivers run over each other on the table.
Realign the guide knobs.


TROUBLE IN MECHANICS & PNEUMATICS:

1) Guide heads work very heavily.
Supply line pressure too low.
          ( Or)
filter clogged.
Overhaul the system.


Clean the filter.
2) Lap discs close only after lowering.
Supply line pressure too low.
          (Or)
rubber seals are too dry.

Overhaul the system.

Increase rate of oil lubrication and lift and lower lap discs about 20times.  Then reset lubrication to normal.






LIMIT SWITCHES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS:

B5 : - This must confirm the highest position of the lap heads. This switches on valves  
           S4 and S5 . the spool magazine swings in, pushes the lap out and operates  
           the limit switch  B6 in its end position.
B6 :-
          This must operated, when spool magazine swings in. lap shifting takes place. This switches on valves S6 and S7 . the shifting cylinder operates the limit switch B12 in its end position.

B12:-
        This is operated if the lap is pushed away, i.e. , if the shifting position is fully retracted. This resets the commander contacts U1.

B14 :-
      As the guide heads come down, limit switch B14 must  be over run. Set the switch far down so that the spool is no longer touched by the magazine as this swings back.
B13 :-
     This must operated, when the spool magazine swings out.  This switches on the machine again. Energies the timer D11.

B8 :-
       Full lap limit switch. It is to be set at full lap plus 10mm up.

B7 :-
      As soon as the lap heads have reached their lowest position ( with spool ) they actuate limit switch B7 . the latter keeps the machine switched on and transfers the switching-off function to the time relay D11 . this time relay ( d11 range of adjustment 0.2 - 5 sec.) stops the machine again if the lap heads do not raise correctly i,e if the lap does not wrap itself round the spool.

B9 :-
       If the spool is not loaded into the machine this switch off the machine and indicated by the glowing of yellow lamp.  This switch is set with a gap of 0.7mm between the spool and guide head.  If the gap is set at 0.6mm, the switch will not actuate.

B11 :-
      This must be operated , when the front door is not closed.
B10 :-
    This must be operated, when the lap deliver is full.
B15, B16 :-
     Safety switches for lap machine doors.
B18, B19 :-
     When the calendar roller is over - lapped or if the thickness of the lap is large these switches off the machine.
EMERGENCY SWITCH B1 :
        This has three positions and may be used to initiate a fresh  changing operation in the event of a fault.

Position 1: Automatic operation.
Position 2: The lap heads are raised and the spool magazine swings in.
Position 3: The lap heads are raised but the spool magazine does not swing in.

Minimum pressure switch B20 :
    The minimum pressure is controlled by means of this switch B20 mounted in the pneumatic control panel.

TIMERS:

Timer D11 :
     For controlling lap heads lifting , i.e. after main motor is started, if a layer of lap is not formed over the lap spool with in 5 seconds. This timer switches off the machine.

Timer D12 :
    Normally both the declutching and  detaching operations should happen simultaneously, but due to some mechanical snag at certain times valve S2 operates before the valve S1. I.e., detaching operation takes place before declutching operation, which causes the front bottom calendar roller shaft breaking . to avoid this problem, the timer D12 is added which makes the valve S1 operate first and then the valve S2 there  by declutching operation takes place first and then the detaching and unloading operations takes place.

SOLENOID VALVES:

Solenoid valves S1 to S10 :
         During normal operation the valves S1 to S8 are dead, except during the changing operation. Valves S1,S3,S5 and S7 are opened when dead ( i.e, air is allowed to pass through ). Valves S10 and S11 has no control function. They serve only to prevent accidents in the event of power failure. If the guide heads are raised and the lap discs are opened , in the event of power failure the valves S10 and S11 will close, so that the air cannot escape. The lap discs therefore remain open and the pressing heads cannot descend.

Solenoid valve   S1 : clutch and break of the cut off cylinder.
                  S2 : bottom of main cylinder through S11 and front of the cut off    cylinder.
                         S3: top of the main cylinder.
                         S4: Magazine swings in.
                         S5: Magazine swings out.
                S6 & S7: Guide cylinder for lap shifting.
                         S8: Brake.
                       S10: For slow descending of guide heads whenever power failure.
