1.

ROBOdoff function

With the ROBodoff the spinning tubes are transferred

from the peg trays to the spinning tube pegs on the
tops of the peg tray.

The SERVOdisc traction strip starts up as soon as

the doffer beam has pressed the spinning tubes onto
the spindles.

The cops are removed from the spindles and deposited on the peg trays.

The cops are transported on the peg trays to the

ROBOload or the bobbin-winder.

The SERVOdisc traction strip is offset by half a

division. The doffer beam collects the spinning tubes
from the tops of the peg tray and loads them onto the
spindles.

At the same time, the empty spinning tubes are

transported on the peg trays from the ROBOload or
the bobbin-winder to the ring spinning frame.

During assembly the distance between the switching surface for the proximity switch (4) and each
proximity switch is set to 1.0 - 1.2 mm. Now the trip
ring can be moved on the lifting rod. Adjust the
position of the connector and tighten the two nuts on
the proximity switch to 12 Nm. Any greater torque
will destroy the proximity switch.
After assembly adjust the distance (1.0 -1.2 mm)
from the proximity switch as follows:
In Maintenance mode move the lifting rod and
the trip ring towards the appropriate proximity
switch (never loosen the trip ring).
Turn off the main switch.
Set the distance between the switching surface for
the proximity switch (4) and the proximity switch to

Function.
The limit switch (S123) doffer beam position overrun at top prevents damage to the machine when
the proximity switch (B104) Swing doffer beam
in/out is overrun (fault).
When the doffer beam is being raised the motor stops
at the proximity switch (B104, signal up). On continuing the motor stops when leaving the proximity
switch (B104, signal down). The control system prevents it from continuing as far as (S123).
Setting: (after S124 has been set)
The roller lever is firmly screwed onto the limit
switch (S123) at an angle of 90.
In maintenance mode, raise the doffer beam as far
as the proximity switch (B1093) switch over doffer beam fast/slow. Disconnect the proximity
switch (B104).
Still in maintenance mode, continue raising the
doffer beam until the coupling lining ring (8) is still
1 mm away from the two shock absorbers (10)
(touching the gears).
Turn off the main switch and secure with a
padlock.
Check whether the contact of the limit switch
(S123) doffer beam position overrun at top
opens at the latest after 2 mm or is already open.
Turn on the main switch and check the operation of

The jobs described in the previous section are unnecessary.
Turn off the main switch and secure it with a
padlock.

Carry out the following jobs by the long lifting rod

in front of and behind the gear section (4):

Put a lifting rod coupling (19) (taken from the

spare-parts reserve of the machine) between
each cross member (9 and 5) and lifting rod
coupling (18).
Push the lifting rod coupling (6) forwards to the
cross member (17) and tighten the 4 screws to
70 Nm. This prevents the lifting rod from moving
towards the head (1).
For safety, support the doffer beam with
wooden laths at least in 8 places.

Remove the cover plate at the chain drive (middle

of the machine).
Turn the sprocket wheel of the motor shaft until the
chain joint is accessible.
If this is not possible:
Loosen the clamping point stop (6) in front of
the threaded spindle (13) and wedge slightly
open using a washer.
Loosen the screws of the lifting rod coupling
(18) in front of the threaded spindle (13) and the
long lifting rod coupling (19) by giving each a
turn.
Now turn the sprocket wheel until the chain joint
is accessible. (The threaded spindle (13) and
the lifting rods (15 and 16) rotate as well).

(Only carry out these jobs on the faulty side of the

machine.)
Remove the four covers on the threaded spindle.

Assembly
Insert the lifting rod nut (22) together with the
threaded spindle (13) from the rear into the cross
support for the gear (11). Are the sealing rings and
the sealing lip facing inwards?
Mount the cap piece of the bearing (12) with the
spacers and screw tight. The lifting rod nut (22)
must not have any axial play.
Tighten the two grease nipples of the cap piece of
the bearing (12).
Put the chain on and attach the chain joint.
Mount the chain tensioning roller with the covering
disk underneath the nut. Adjust the chain tensioning roller so that the chain is free of play but
not taut. The covering disk must cover the slot.
Fill up the oil tank
