Machine control system, Page 3/26
Autoleveller (ATL) – calibration of the equipment, Page 3/30
The autoleveller compensates for volume deviations of the incoming sliver. Prior to delivery, each machine
is checked and set according to instruction. The periodic checking of the levelling unit must be carried out in
accordance with the setting instructions.
Preparatory work
– When performing any checking or setting task at the levelling unit, the safety instructions must be ob-
served.

Objective
– The mechanical and electrical inaccuracies are determined and the system set precisely.

General instructions on checking the levelling unit

– In case of faults at the levelling unit, the plant electrician has to carry out a check in accordance with the
setting instructions.

– The setting of the levelling unit has to be checked and if necessary adjusted whenever changes are
made at:
displacement-transducer system (ATL)
at the target (ATL)
at the D295 processor
at the scanning rollers.

– The setting of the levelling device has to be checked at regular intervals, even if no components have
been replaced or modified. This periodic checking is the only way to ensure the precise functioning of the
levelling device.
Note: The checking interval depends on the quality requirements, but its length must not exceed one
year.

– The levelling device must be checked with no material loaded and using the prescribed gauges.

– For the calibration of the autoleveller, use only

3 mm

B3 the original gauges supplied by Rieter (4 pcs.).

The gauge thicknesses are 3 mm, 4 mm, 5
mm and 6 mm.

3.9 Rieter Quality Monitor (RQM)

3.9.1 Adapting the Rieter Quality Monitor (RQM) to the weight of the de-
livered sliver
Rieter Quality Monitor values, Page 3/29
The Rieter Quality Monitor (RQM) monitors the quality of the delivered sliver at the delivery discs. The RQM
must be adapted to the weight of the delivered sliver.
Preparatory work
– The function for adapting the RQM to the sliver count at the delivery end is activated in data screen 5.2
(“Delivery-disc adaptation”) and involves the measurement of a certain length of delivered sliver.

Note: This adjustment is normally only required for a changeover of assortment, after the levelling has been
adapted (possibly including fine correction of the weight of delivered sliver) or following a calibration of the
RQM (according to setting instructions).
Requirements for the functioning of the RQM adaptation process
– The monitoring functions of the Rieter Quality Monitor (RQM) are deactivated (appropriate setting for
“Shutdown type” parameter in data screen 2.3.1 (“A% settings”) and for “Shutdown ON” parameter in
data screen 2.3.2 (“CV% settings”)).

– The delivery discs are being subjected to load.

– The autoleveller has been adapted.

– The autoleveller of the draw frame is active.

2.2, Page 2/182

– Any necessary fine correction work has been carried out.

Checking and correcting the weight of the delivered sliver (fine correction), Page 2/83

– Activate the RQM sliver-monitor adaptation function when the machine is running with material.
5.2, Page 2/216

– The value displayed for “Delivery-disc clearance for 0 % error” in data screen 5.2 (“Delivery-disc adapta-
tion”) lies within the valid range.

RQM adaptation procedure

– Carry out the RQM adaptation procedure; to this end, check the field for “RQM adaptation (sliver weight
OK)” in data screen 5.2 (“Delivery-disc adaptation”).
The mean thickness of the delivered sliver is determined.
This value is used to determine the delivery-disc clearance for “ideal” delivered sliver (i.e. where
there is 0 % error or, in other words, no sliver weight deviations) and the calculated value is then
saved.
When the RQM adaptation procedure is complete, the “RQM adaptation sliver weight OK” check
mark will automatically be removed.
The optimal value calculated for the delivery-disc clearance is then displayed as the setting for
“Delivery-disc clearance for 0 % error” in data screen 5.2 (“Delivery-disc adaptation”).

A% display of the delivered sliver

– The A% display for the delivered sliver is an
LED display at the overview screen.
For the ideal value of “0”, the bar in the
middle is lit green.
For all sliver weight deviations (both
positive and negative) from the ideal
value, the corresponding red bar from the
“+” range or the “-” range is lit.
The bars on the far left and right
correspond to deviations of ±5 %
respectively.

Checking the position for the adaptation within the possible setting range
– The optimal value calculated for the delivery-disc clearance is displayed as the setting for “Delivery-disc
clearance for 0 % error” in data screen 5.2 (“Delivery-disc adaptation”). This value is determined when
measuring the delivered sliver for RQM adaptation.

– With this value, the position for the adaptation within the possible setting range is indicated at the same
time.

Special case: Delivery disc clearance at 0% error is a limit value

– Indicated distance = 0.278 mm (lower limit value)
Install the sliver funnel of the next size down.

– Indicated distance = 1.266 mm (upper limit value)

Install the sliver funnel of the next size up.

– If another sliver funnel has been installed, the RQM has to be adapted anew.

– The value for “Delivery-disc clearance for 0 % error” then has to be checked to see if it matches.

– If the displayed value matches, produce a sufficient amount of sliver (more than 100 m) and determine
the CV% value in the laboratory.

– Enter the CV% value determined in the laboratory as the value for “Lab” in data screen 2.3.2 (“CV% set-
tings”). (See the following section for further information.)

– Then re-activate the RQM monitoring functions.

The RQM monitors the quality of the delivered sliver. Prior to delivery, each machine is checked and set ac-
cording to instruction. Periodic checking of the RQM must be carried out in accordance with the setting in-
structions.
Objective
– The mechanical and electrical inaccuracies are determined and the system set precisely.

General instructions on checking the Rieter Quality Monitor (RQM)

– In case of faults at the RQM, the plant electrician has to carry out a check in accordance with the setting
instructions.
– The setting of the RQM has to be checked and if necessary adjusted whenever changes are made:

at sliver guides of sliver deflection unit
at delivery discs
to load application at delivery discs
at toothed-belt drive unit
at displacement-transducer system (REG);
at target (RQM)
at the D295 processor
to sliver count at delivery end
to material being processed (changeover of assortment)

– The setting of the RQM has to be checked at regular intervals, even if no components have been
replaced or modified. This periodic checking is the only way to ensure the precise functioning of the
RQM.
Note: The checking interval depends on the quality requirements, but its length must not exceed one
year.

– The RQM must be checked with no material loaded and using the prescribed gauge.

– Attach the holder (plus the web nozzle and in-
sert) and swivel it towards the drafting system.

7. Start up and automatic adaptation of the RQM

– Deactivate the RQM monitoring functions for:
A%: In data screen "2.3.1 Settings A%"
CV%: In data screen "2.3.2 Settings
CV%"
Spectrogram: In data screen
"2.3.3 Settings spectrum"
Slubs: In data screen "2.3.4 Settings
slubs"

– Start the machine (with fed material).

– Produce a piece of sliver and determine the sliver weight in the laboratory; make corrective adjustments,
where necessary.

– If the sliver weight is OK, automatic adaptation should be carried out via data screen 5.2 (“Delivery-disc
adaptation”) after approx. 2000 m of sliver has been produced.
The green LED at the A% display for incoming sliver (on the overview screen) will light up.

– Produce a sufficient amount of sliver (more than 100 m) and determine the CV% value in the laboratory.

– The CV% value determined in the laboratory has to be entered as the value for “Lab” in data screen 2.3.2
(“CV% settings”).

– After about 3000 m of sliver has been produced, activate the RQM monitoring functions in data screens
2.3.1 (“A% settings”), 2.3.2 (“CV% settings”), 2.3.3 (“Spectrogram settings”) and 2.3.4 (“Slub settings”).

4.1.2 Scanning roller calibration

Autoleveller (ATL) – setting instructions, Page 2/100
This data screen can be brought up only with the machine in “service mode”.
(1) Start of calibration
If the box is ticked, scanning-roller calibration is started.
There must be no faults pending.

(2) End of calibration

If the box is ticked, scanning-roller calibration is ended.

(3) Selection of gauge sizes

When ticked, the current scanning-roller voltage (3) for inserted check gauges (3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm) is
saved.

(4) Current scanning-roller voltage (in mV) with the respective gauge inserted

(5) Scanning-roller voltage

Display of the value of the current voltage from the displacement-transducer system (REG) for the inserted
distance gauge, with scanning rollers subjected to load
To check the scanning-roller calibration, the current scanning-roller voltage is compared with the stored
voltage for the respective gauge. The deviation must not exceed ±30 mV.
Default : 8125 mV
min. - max.: 8095 - 8155 mV

4.1.3 Delivery disc calibration

Rieter Quality Monitor (RQM) – setting instructions, Page 2/108
This data screen can be brought up only with the machine in “service mode”.
(1) Start of calibration
If the box is ticked, delivery-disc calibration is started.
There must be no faults pending.

(2) Selection of gauge size

When ticked, the current delivery-disc voltage (3) for the inserted test gauge (0.6 mm) is saved.

(3) Current delivery-disc voltage (in mV) with the respective gauge inserted

(4) End of calibration

If the field is marked, delivery-disc calibration is ended.
Attention:
If application of the voltage is stopped prior to the end of the back-up cycle (duration of approx. 2 seconds),
the voltage values for the gauges will not be permanently saved. The old values will be re-applied after the
main switch has been moved to the “off” position.

(5) Delivery-disc voltage

Display of the value of the current voltage from the displacement-transducer system (REG) for the inserted
distance gauge, with delivery discs subjected to load
To check the delivery-disc calibration, the current delivery-disc voltage is compared with the stored voltage for
the respective gauge. The deviation must not exceed ±50 mV.
Default : 2500 mV
min. - max.: 2450 - 2550 mV
