 4 Preparatory work

Move the weaving machine into low shed position:

to do this, select parameter 6 in function F16 in
generic term 10.

Briefly press the forward creep speed button to

synchronize the rear shaft.

Turn the weaving machine to 0° and check the LED

on the synchronization monitoring function (see
chapter 851.1R).

Caution! Always turn off the main switch

before replacing plug-in mod
ules, fuses, peripheral equip
5 ment etc. as well as connecting
and disconnecting plug connec
tions.

Turn main switch to "0" and secure with personal pad-

lock to prevent inadvertent switching on.

Remove earthing strip and roll away the control cabi-

net.

Remove protective covers and their supports from

creep speed drive.

Remove cover plate above the rapier drive on the

right.

Before restarting, replace all cover

plates and place the control cabinet
so that it covers the creep speed
and main drives while the machine is
running.

Remove support 5 together with fan 4.

Caution! Risk of injury from cables!

 6 Dismantling the creep speed drive

Caution! To ensure that the axial position of

the rear shaft remains unchanged,
keep the toothed belt of the dobby
drive tensioned during all subse-
quent work on the weaving ma-
chine.

7
Undo screws 6 of creep speed motor 7 and put them
aside.

Remove plastic crown 8.

Disconnect oil lines 9 from drive housing and housing

plate.

Caution! Take care not to lose the reduc-

tion sleeves!

Turn screw 20 (M10 x 100) into housing plate 22.
22 This ensures that drive housing 11 does not fall down
11 as it is pushed aside.

20 Push drive housing 11 away from housing plate 22

with two long screws (M8 x 100) until shaft 21 is seat-
ed only a few millimetres in the ball bearing. Then lift
the drive housing slightly, remove screw 20 and de-
tach the drive housing.

21

Carefully clean sealer residue from the bearing surfaces

11 22 of drive housing 11 and housing plate 22.

 34 33 Changing the ball bearings

Remove seeger circlip 31 and push ball bearing 32

out of the drive housing.

Pull seeger circlip 33 off the drive shaft and withdraw

ball bearing 34.

The drive shaft is assembled and fitted in reverse se-

quence.

Dismantling the magnetic coil of the
creep speed clutch

Using the appropriate ejection tool (art. no. 927 299

239), push the cable strands of pins 1 and 4 out of
X6 connector X6 (PCB board in the control cabinet).

Note the colours of the leads and the corresponding

4
1 connections.

Disconnect stuffing box 35 on drive housing.

 Undo screws 36 and lift the magnetic coil 37 careful-
ly out of the drive housing, taking care not to damage
the connecting cable.

Fitting the magnetic coil of the creep

speed clutch

Pull cable 40 through the hole in the drive housing.

Insert magnetic coil 37 into the drive housing.

Fix magnetic coil 37 in the drive housing with screws

36.

Note: Threaded hole facing drive shaft has no

screw.

40 37
Pull cable 40 through stuffing box 35, screw the latter
into the drive housing and tighten.

Push the cable strand pins, as noted previously, into

connector x6.

Caution! If you interchange the pins, the

clutch power will be reduced.

 38 Dismantling the clutch unit

Pull race ring 38 off shaft 21. Then remove spacer

39 and disc spring 41.

Remove all screws 42.

Pull gear ring hub 43 off shaft 21.

Pull rotor 45 tight with three screws 44 (M6 x 30).
This prevents the springs in the rotor from being dis-
torted when it is pulled away.

Remove all screws 46.

Pull rotor 45 off shaft 21.

X6 Using the appropriate ejection tool (art. no. 927 299
239), push the cable strands of pins 1 and 4 out of
3 connector X6 (PCB board in the control cabinet).

Note the colours of the leads and the corresponding

connections.

Disconnect stuffing box 47 on housing plate.

Fasten a piece of string approx. 1 m long to the end

of the cable. This makes it easier to pull the connect-
ing cable through during assembly work.

Undo screws 48 and remove magnetic coil 49 very

carefully out of housing plate 22, so as not to dam-
age the connecting cable and the cable strand pins.

Then remove the string from the connecting cable; it

49 stays in the housing plate until the magnetic coil is fit-
ted.

48

22

Assembly is in reverse sequence. But make sure that

when inserting magnetic coil 49 its connecting cable
can be pulled into the hole with the string left in hous-
ing plate 22 without being deflected.

 Fitting the clutch unit

Machine position 0° (terminal)

The middle LED of the synchronization monito-

45 ring unit should not be lit.

44 Caution! In the event of damage, always

replace the complete coupling
21 unit comprising rotor, gear ring
hub and race ring.
46

Clean shaft 21 and rotor 45.

Push rotor 45 onto shaft 21 and tighten screw 46.

Remove the three screws 44 (M6 x 30).

Clean gear ring hub 43 and push onto shaft 21.

43 Align positioning holes in gear ring hub 43 with posi-

tioning studs 50 on the rotor and tighten screws 42.

42 21 50
Push disc spring 41 onto shaft 21 and centre in gear
ring hub 43.

Note: Coat the disc spring with machine grease to

prevent it falling out of the gear wheel hub.

Mounting the drive housing
18
Coat the bearing surfaces of the housing plate evenly
with sealer.

Fit the previously assembled drive housing 11 and

align with housing plate by means of two long screws.
At the same time, push the two ball bearings 51 with
11 19 the aid of a washer and threaded spindle onto the
shaft until the drive housing can be secured to the
51 housing plate with both set screws 18 and then with
screws 19.

Caution! When fitting the drive housing,

make sure that the teeth of the
spur wheel and those of the ra-
18 ce ring mesh smoothly and do
not jam.

Note: To install the two ball bearings with the drive

housing, you will need a threaded spindle M16
x 150 mm with washer and nut.

Replace the threaded spindle by screw 16.

51 Fix ball bearing 51 with washer and screw 16.

Note: Screw 16 must be secured with Loctite and

16 tightened with 120 Nm .

Fitting the clutch sensor

Twist clutch sensor 13 about 10 turns in anti-clock-

wise direction, insert into the drive housing and screw
in.

Caution! You may not set the coupling

sensor until all assembly work
on the weaving machine has
been completed (see chapter
451.3R page 3).

Connected the dismantled oil lines 9 to the various

lubricating points as indicated by their length.

Check the reductions in the lines.

where near rotating parts.

Fit rubber sleeve at the cable input "High voltage

current" (at the top over the shield: below over cable).

Note: The pull on the cable is relieved when a rubber

sleeve is fitted at both ends of the cable.

Fit an earthing strip as well as all the protective

covers.

Remove padlock and switch on the weaving machine.

Caution! Do not start the weaving ma-

chine until the shed closure
(chapter 415) and crank angle
transmitter (chapter 875) have
been checked and if necessary
readjusted.
