4.9 Stop Motion on Drawin
“The basic function of any stop mations o stop the machine when any
ofits important mechanism fais or some ofits technological requirements fall short
intheir performance. The front and the back stop motion mainly see that the
number of sivers fed to the system and that delivered by itremains tothe specif
cations. In conventional draw frame, for example, 6 slvers are fed while a single
strands delivered, When any ofthe fed slivers breaks or the feeding can gets
‘exhausted, the numer ofsivers entering the system would reduce, thus varying
the hank ofthe slivers delvered. The machine must, therefore stop, toenable an
‘operative or tentr to corect the fault. Simiary, when a thicker sliver passes
through the delvery end, it would invariably esultn chocking the coler rump.

‘This may resuttin huge amount of siver accumulating in the region between the

However, apart from controling the soft waste, the important function of
the stop motion seems tobe the controlon hank variation whichis mainly done by
