Autoleveller

Careful control of sliver uniformity is necessary in the spinning process, to minimize the
production of streaky fabrics, waste of raw material and to waste of production time.

Need for Autoleveller:

Continuous checking of sliver weight together with
automatic correction of sliver weight variation at card is necessary.
Advantage of installing autoleveller at card draw frame:
They control the thickness of individual slivers.
 They are followed by greater no. of doublings.
 They are generally cheaper.

Classification of autoleveller:
1] Mechanical system of control
2] Electronic control

Control systems are classified into:

1] Open loop
2] Closed loop
Open loop:
- Variation is corrected in draft zone by varying speed of O/P
rollers (on card) or I/P rollers (on D/F).
- Correction follows measurement so there is no check that
correction was correctly applied.
Closed loop:
- Variations corrected in draft zone by varying speed of delivery
rollers.
- Correction precedes measurement so system check that
‘correction’ was correctly applied.
Mechanical system of control

Working principle:
Measurement of sliver variation
 Correction rate and sliver variation
Correction rate and delivery speed Types:
 Long term autoleveller [LTAL]
 Short term autoleveller [STAL]
 Short term autoleveller and dual
autoleveller
