Bobbin drive:
When the builder motion shifts the cone belt, the rotation speed of the lower
cone is changed.
This declining rotation speed is transmitted via gearing to the differential and
superimposed on the constant speed of the main shaft.
• The angle of taper of the ends normally lies between 80° and 95° (maximum
100°).
Winding mechanism of bobbin:-
1. Raising and lowering the flyer or
2. Up and down movement of the tube together with the bobbin rail (by means of
racks or lever).
The builder motion
It performs three important tasks during a winding operation:
1. Shifts the cone belt corresponding to an increase in the bobbin diameter
2. Reverses the direction of movement of the bobbin rail at the upper and lower
ends of the lift stroke, and
2. Shortens the lift after each layer to form tapered ends on the bobbins.
Cone drive transmission
Transmission occurs in small steps through shifting of the cone belt after
each lift stroke.
The cone faces convex on the upper driving cone and concave on the lower
driven cone - difficult to design.
Straight sided - the belt must be shifted through steps of varying magnitude.
Shifting the belt
Is controlled by the ratchet wheel (on axle). After each stroke, the ratchet
wheel is permitted to rotate by a half tooth.
This ratchet steps out the wire rope (1) and hence permits movement of the
belt guide (5) to the right.
The tensile force required to induce movement of the belt is exerted by a
weight.
Bobbin diameter increases more or less rapidly depending upon roving hank.
So degree of shift is modified by replacing the ratchet wheel or by substituting
change wheels.
ratchet wheel with fewer teeth - then the belt is shifted through larger steps,
i.e. it progresses more rapidly, and vice versa
When the bobbin is fully wound, the belt must be moved back to its starting
point- today by auxiliary motor.

a. Lifter motion:
In the package, each turn must be laid next to its neighbors.
So the lay-on point must continually be moved, by raising and lowering the
bobbins supported on a movable rail.
Not by raising and lowering the flyers – b/c the unsupported roving length,
withdrawal angle and approaching angle will vary.
Raising and lowering can be carried out by –
Racks and Lever.
The lift speed must be reduced by a small amount after each completed layer.
The lift drive is also transmitted via the cone transmission as bobbin drive but
not via the differential.

b. Reversal of the bobbin rail movement:
Reversing drive must be provided so that the bobbin rail is alternately raised
and lowered.
Reversal of the rail movement originates from the reversing gear(1/2/3).
Electrically operated valve pressurizes the left- and right-hand chambers of
double-acting cylinder (9) alternately.
Thus left-hand clutch (1) and right hand clutch (2) are operated successively.
So that pinion (3) engages with either gear wheel 1 or gear wheel 2.
The rotation itself comes from the shaft 10, on which gear wheels 1 and 2
are mounted, always rotating in the same direction.
Operation of clutch (1) or (2) causes left- or right-hand rotation of pinion 3
and shaft 4, accordingly.
The bobbin rail is correspondingly raised or lowered via bevel gear 5, pinion
6, sprocket 7 and lifting chain 8.
b. Mechanism for reversing the bobbin rail movement
The inclination is adjustable and corresponds exactly to the taper of the bobbin
ends (angle alpha).
Therefore, the rods engage the micro-switch steadily earlier in the lift stroke,
reversal occurs correspondingly earlier.
This results in a continuous reduction in the lift of the rail. The bobbins are
thus built with a taper.

2 – bobbin rail
3/7 – bracket
5/6 – rods
4 – micro switch
The drives are controlled by frequency converters and are thus especially
gentle in their treatment of the material.
Much simpler than mechanical
drive versions
Lower energy consumption and
reduced maintenance
No need of heavy counter
weight for bobbin rail balancing
