2 Section warping
2.1 Introduction
Section warping is a technology whereas a relative small number of yarns

are wounded repeatedly in different parallel sections on a drum-cone unit in
order to obtain a weave beam with a large total number of parallel wounded
yarns.
Normales Schärverfahren
Figure 1
After all the necessary sections have been wounded around the drum-cone
unit (warping operation), all the yarns are pulled together on a weave beam
on the beaming machine (beaming operation).
The traverse movement speed of the warping table should match perfectly
with the type and size of the warped yarns in order to have a perfect
horizontal beam surface where all the yarns have the same length.
The SIGMAxwarper has two functions to perfectly control this traverse
speed:
Page 10
ApplicationManual7
Start feed calculation

This first function is an automatic calculation of the initial start feed. With this
function the warping machine calculates an approximate start feed value.
This is important when using yarns that have never been warped before.
Auto feed
Once the machine is running, the exact traverse feed is automatically
sensored and the warping table movement can be adjusted accordingly.

Figure 3
In figure 3 is an example of a section build-up where the traverse speed of

the warper headstock is approximately 10% too fast. The section ‘crawls’
upwards on the cone. The yarn winding diameter on the left hand side is
larger which results in longer yarn lengths on the left side. The traverse
speed should be decreased to obtain a parallel warp.
In figure 4 is an example of a section build-up where the traverse speed of

the warper headstock is approximately 10% too slow. The yarn winding
diameter on the left hand side is smaller which results in shorter yarn lengths
on the left hand side. The traverse speed should be increased to obtain a
parallel warp.

Rounded sections
Figure 5
The sections in figure 5 have a rounded surface. This is typical when

warping from a long creel. The yarns coming from the back of the creel
(situated on the edges of each creel section) have a higher tension
compared with the yarns coming from the front of the creel (situated in the
middle of each section).
The yarns coming from the back of the creel are guided on their path to the
section warper by a large amount of yarn guides and encounter more air
resistance. This generates more friction and results in higher tension.
This problem can be solved by gradually adjusting the tension of each

vertical column of yarn tensioners in the creel. When the tension is slightly
decreased towards the end of the creel then this effect will be compensated.
The tension of the yarns in the output yarn sheet of the creel should be
measured with a tension meter in order to check the exact yarn tensioner
settings.

bobbin size
Figure 6
The diameter of the sections is decreasing in figure 6. The origin of this

effect is typically a decreasing diameter of the bobbins. The more this
diameter decreases the faster becomes the rotation of the yarn balloon
between the bobbin and the yarn tensioner.
This is resulting in a higher yarn tension. This effect can only be

compensated by decreasing accordingly the tension in the yarn tensioners or
by using self compensating yarn tensioners.
3 Warping a new beam
3.1 Beam name
Page 15
ApplicationManual7
Figure 7
To start warping a new beam that was never warped before, the operator should
click in the main menu on the data button. The data form will then appear on the
screen. In this form, all the required parameters for warping a new beam can be
entered. (figure 7)
If the beam name combo box is clicked then the alphanumeric and numeric
keyboards will appear on the screen.
The name of the beam can be entered in the top left combo box. After entering and
saving all the warping- and beaming parameters, the beam can be reloaded at a
later stage by simply clicking on its name in the combo box.
All previously saved settings will appear and warping can be started immediately
after the data has been loaded to the machine with the load command.
In our example, we have entered the name “SIGMA”.
Page 16
ApplicationManual7
3.2 Yarn type
Figure 8
The next thing to do is to enter the yarn type. The yarn type button is situated on
the right bottom of the form and has a bobbin icon. After clicking this button, the
yarn selection form will appear.
This form has the possibility to define different yarn types and according density
values. This density value will be used by the machine to calculate the start feed.
After clicking on the yarn name combo box an alphanumeric and numeric keyboard
will appear to enter the yarn name.
After entering this name, the yarn density value can be entered with the numeric
keyboard. The density input is restricted to 5.000. The unit is kg/m³.
If the density of the yarn is unknown then it can be calculated automatically by

using a simple program. This program can be accessed after clicking the density
button.
Page 17
ApplicationManual7
Figure 8
After entering the inner- and outer diameter, length and total weight of the bobbin
and the weight of the tube, the computer will calculate the exact density (figure 8).
This density will be loaded in the density textbox of the yarn form after the density
form is closed.
After entering and saving the yarn type and density, clicking on the close button will
close the yarn selection form. The selected yarn name and density value will be
entered automatically in the database form.
When saving a yarn type with a different density, but with a name that is identical to
another saved yarn type then the saved yarn type can be overwritten.
When doing this, a warning message will appear on the screen that the original
yarn type will be overwritten. When a yarn type will be used that has already
previously been defined, then this yarn type can be loaded by simply clicking on its
name in the type of yarn combo box.
Page 18
ApplicationManual7
The delete button is enabled if the program has been entered using the system
password. Normal users, using a standard password, are not allowed to delete
existing yarn types.
In our example of figure 8, we have entered the name ‘Cotton’ and a density value
of 375 kg/m³. After clicking on the close button, the yarn form will close and the
operator can continue on the database form.
As a guideline only, the following table for yarn densities can be consulted:
Yarn Type Density (kg/m³)

3.3 Beam width
The beam width can be entered in the top left textbox. After clicking on this textbox,
the numeric keyboard will appear and the beam width can be entered.
The unit is mm (figure 9). Inputs, larger then the available drum width, will not be
accepted. In our example we have entered 2200 mm.
Page 19
ApplicationManual7
Figure 9
3.4 Total ends
After entering the beam width one should click on the second textbox to enter the
total number of ends for the full width of the beam. Values up to 100.000 ends are
accepted (figure 10).
Page 20
ApplicationManual7
Figure 10
3.5 Number of yarns for the first sections (ends/section)
The 3rd textbox has, as default value, the maximum number of positions on the
creel. If not all creel positions are used then one should enter the actual used
number bobbins. Values are accepted up to 2.000 bobbins. In our example we will
use all 560 available creel positions.
3.6 Number of sections
After entering the number of ends/section, the amount of sections should be

entered. After clicking this textbox, a small pocket calculator button will appear on
the right bottom corner of the data input frame. By clicking this calculator button the
machine will automatically calculate the minimal number of total sections that is
required (figure 11). This number can still be changed with the numeric keyboard.
Values up to 100 are accepted. In the example the operator interface has
calculated that 9 sections are needed to warp all required yarns.
Page 21
ApplicationManual7
Figure 11
3.7 Section width
After clicking in the section width textbox, the calculator button will appear again on
the screen. The section width will be calculated by the computer to give the exact
width of the section in 0.1 mm units. This width can be altered using the numeric
keyboard. Values are accepted up to 4.000 for a standard warping table width of
400 mm. Warping machines with a warping width of 500 or 700 mm will allow a
maximum input of 5.000 or 7.000.
3.8 Number of yarns for the last section (ends/last section)
After clicking the ends/last section textbox the calculator button can be clicked
again to compute the exact number of ends for the last section. This value can be
changed again with the numeric keyboard. Values are accepted up to 2.000 ends.
In our example this number of ends in the last section is 340 (figure 12).
Page 22
ApplicationManual7
Figure 12
3.9 Length
In this textbox the warp length should be entered after the length textbox has been
clicked. The unit is meter. Values up to 100.000 meter are accepted. In our
example we have entered 2.000 meter (figure 13).
In case that the operator enters a length that is too long to be warped on the cone
of the warper, a message box will appear on the screen whenever one tries to start
warping this beam.
Page 23
ApplicationManual7
Figure 13
3.10 Yarn count
After clicking in the yarn textbox, the yarn conversion form will appear on the
screen. On this form the yarn count can be entered in dTex, nM or Deniers by
clicking one of the option buttons on this yarn conversion forms. The computer will
automatically translate the input into the corresponding dTex value.
After clicking the close button, this form will be closed and the yarn number is
entered in dTex units in the database form. Yarn counts up to 20.000 dTex are
accepted (figure 14). In our example we have entered a Metric number of 45 nM.
The resulting dTex number is 222.
Page 24
ApplicationManual7
Figure 14
3.11 Warp speed
The warp speed should be entered in the warp speed textbox. Values up to 1.000
meters/minute are accepted. In our example we have entered 650 meters/minute.
3.12 Beaming speed
The beaming speed should be entered in the beam speed textbox (figure 15).
Values up to 300 meters/minute are accepted for standard beaming configurations.
An important remark is that maximum speeds are greatly dependant on the pull
force applied during the beaming and the diameter of the wounded material. When
using high pull force values, the speed will decrease accordingly. Table 2 on next
page can be used as a guideline. During the beginning of the beaming, the speed
will generally be lower then at the end as the maximum beaming speed is also
dependant on the diameter of the warped material. As a result, the beaming speed
will gradually go up tot the selected value and then remain constant once the
selected value has been reached.

3.13 Pull force
The pull force during beaming should be entered in the pull force input textbox
(figure 16). The unit is Newton. Here again one should observe the maximum load
figures. In order to avoid overload modes of the frequency inverters it is advised to
remain approximately 15% under the prescribed maximum values of table 2.
The maximum accepted value for a beaming machine with a motor of 15 kW is
5600 Newton.
It is possible to automatically calculate the required beaming speed. After pushing

the calculator button the computer will give the required pull force. This calculation
is done with the parameter for the pull force preset at 1. This means that for each
Tex of yarn on the warp the pull force equals one cN.
This parameter is defined in the settings file and can eventually be changed. (See
paragraph 9) Please consult this section for more information on this subject.
Page 27
ApplicationManual7
3.14 Feed1
After clicking the feed1 textbox the calculator button will appear again on the
screen. The machine will compute the exact theoretical feed after clicking this
calculator button. This is the feed value that the system is using to start warping of
the first section. This initial value will can then be corrected during warping in order
to obtain the exact feed value (feed2).
As the initial calculation of the feed1 value is dependant on the beam width, number
of total ends, yarn count and yarn density it is a must that these 4 input values are
entered in the data form before the computer can calculate this initial feed.
The feed value is entered in 0.001 mm (micrometer) per drum revolution. The
maximum accepted feed value is 10.000 micrometer.
Figure 17
Page 28
ApplicationManual7
3.15 Feed2
After the warping of the first section has been started on the machine and if the
warping speed has reached its preset value, then a second feed value will appear
on the screen. This second feed value is displayed in the label below the initial feed
value.
This feed is the exact feed that the machine is sensoring according to the actual
warping conditions and yarn quality. Whenever this second feed value remains
stable then this value should be entered in the machine after pressing the store
button in the warping form (the button with the floppy disk drive left of the feed
value). After this operation the machine will continue with this second feed value.
After the feed has been changed it is not longer possible to change the feed a
second time and changing the feed is only possible during the first section. The first
section is then automatically copied in all consecutive sections.
When starting the same warp a next time, this exact feed value will be used by the
machine to start warping immediately with the exact feed value.
One should observe that due to changes in

humidity,
temperature,
raw material,
spinning factors
and differences between yarn suppliers,
this feed value can differ slightly when using the same yarn in different warps.
Therefore we advise that feed values are observed carefully during the warp
process.
IMPORTANT REMARK
After finishing a warp then the exact feed is precisely given in the feed textbox.
After clicking the density textbox the calculator button will appear on the form. After
clicking this calculator button then the exact yarn density will be computed by the
machine and entered in the textbox.
This way, the exact density value can be obtained for each yarn after warping. After
this exact density value is obtained one should go select the yarn selection form
and input this value for the corresponding yarn name. This way, the exact density
factor for the yarn is saved for later use. When starting again another warp with the
same yarn then the initial feed will be computed using this exact density factor and,
as a result, this initial feed will be very close to the exact feed.

ApplicationManual7
3.16 Save button
This button is used for saving a beam to the hard disk. When saving a beam with
different settings but with a name, identical to another saved beam, the saved
beam will be overwritten. When doing this, a message box will appear to warn the
user that the original beam will be overwritten.
3.17 Delete button
The delete button is enabled in case that the interface program has been started
using the system password. Normal users, using a standard password, are not
allowed to delete existing beams.
After logging in on the interface computer with a standard password the delete
button will be disabled.
3.18 Load button
This button is used to load a beam and all associated parameters to the machine.
After this action the warper and beamer is initialised for the loaded beam and
warping can be started. A message will warn the user before final loading of the
beam (figure 18).
After this action the database form will close and the main menu will appear.
Normally the operator should then go to the warping menu to start warping.
3.19 Close button
The database menu can be closed after clicking the close button. After this the
main menu will appear on the screen.

4 Warping
If a beam should be warped that was never warped before then all the parameters
have to be entered first in the database form as explained in chapter 3.
After entering all the parameters the beam can be loaded to the machine using the
load command of the database form. After this load command the main menu will
appear on the screen. After clicking the warping button on the main menu, the
warping form will appear on the screen and warping can be started.
If an existing beam should be warped then the operator should go first to the
database menu and select the beam in the beam combo box (figure 6). After
selecting the beam, all parameters can be loaded to the machine by clicking the
load button. After this load command the main menu will appear on the screen.
After clicking the warping button on the main menu, the warping form will appear on
the screen and warping can be started immediately.
Page 31
ApplicationManual7
4.1 The warping form
All the required parameters for warping are visible in the warping form.
The warping form is visible in figure 19 for the beam that has been previously
entered as described in chapter 3. There are 3 large display boxes with red digits.
In the first one (top left) the actual speed is displayed.

In the second one (top right) the actual length is displayed.
In the third one (bottom left) the actual section that is being warped is displayed.
On top of each of the large display boxes is a smaller display where the selected
machine parameters can be read. Normally, this information should correspond
with the information that was transferred to the machine after the last load
command.
After clicking these display fields it is possible to change the preset value. E. g.:
after clicking the speed display field the data form will appear and the focus of the
cursor will be on the speed textbox. The speed can then be changed immediately.
The new value can be saved with the save button. Be aware that this action will
overwrite the original speed. After changing the speed the operator can go back to
the warping menu after pressing the load command. After this, the new speed is
loaded on the machine, the warping form will appear again and this new speed is
displayed in the warping menu. The machine will increase (or decrease) the speed
until the new value is reached. After changing the value of the speed, then the new
value in the database textbox will switch to an orange colour. This way it is possible
to remark immediately changed values in the database form. Only after saving the
new value the colour will switch again to black. This means that the data on the
screen is identical again to the saved data.
At the bottom right of the form, under the feed values, is a display where the
machine section width parameter is displayed.
At the bottom of the form is a status bar where the identification and most
significant specifications of the loaded beam are displayed.

4.2 Feed memory button
The feed memory button is situated next to the two feed indication text boxes. It is
the button with the floppy disk icon.
There are two information boxes for feed values; in the first one (the top one) the
initial feed can be read. In the second one (the bottom one), the actual measured
feed is displayed.
When starting a new warp then the measured feed will in most cases be different
with the initial feed. As soon as the measured feed value becomes stable, the
button with the floppy icon can be clicked.
Page 33
ApplicationManual7
After this the exact feed value will be entered in the database form. After loading
this value the computer will show again the warping form and the machine is
continuing warping, but now with the exact feed value.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
Changing the feed can be done only once. After the new feed value has been
entered and reloaded it is not possible to change this value again.
After clicking the save button the beam and its correct feed value is saved to the
database. After reloading, the machine will now receive the exact feed value and
continue warping with this exact feed value until the end of the first section. When
starting the second section, the machine will automatically select the feed value
that was used in the initial phase of the first section. The feed will then
automatically jump to the second value at exactly the same position as for the first
section. This action will be repeated for all the succeeding sections. This way all
sections have an identical build up.
4.3 Zero position button
This button is used to position the warping table at the exact location for starting the
first section. This button should be pressed only when starting a new warp. This
action will reset all the machine parameters and delete all memorised stops. After
pressing this button two message boxes will appear to warn the operator that the
machine parameters will be reset and that all memorised stops will be deleted.
4.4 Memorise warp stop button
If a yarn break couldn’t be repaired during warping then the operator can put the
actual length location in the computer memory. All the memorised breaks will
appear in the list on the warping form.
During beaming the machine will then automatically stop a few revolutions before
these positions. This way it is possible to find and repair the breaks during the
beaming operation.
4.5 Delete last warp stop button
With this button it is possible to delete the last saved warp stop. See figure 20.

4.6 How to change speed during warping
Pressing on the small speed display box can do this. After this, the menu will jump
to the database form with the focus on the speed textbox. The speed can
immediately be changed. The new value can be saved with the save button in the
data form. Be aware that this action will overwrite the original speed. After changing
the speed the operator can go back to the warping menu after pressing the load
command. After this, the new speed is loaded in the machine and this new speed
will now be displayed in the warping menu. The machine will increase (or decrease)
the speed until the new value is reached.
Page 35
ApplicationManual7
4.7 How to change length during warping
Changing the length can be done by pressing on the small length display box. After
this, the menu will jump to the database form with the focus on the length textbox.
The length can immediately be changed. The new value can be saved with the
save button in the data form. Be aware that with this action the original length will
be overwritten after saving. After changing the length, the operator can go back to
the warping menu after pressing the load button. After this the new length is loaded
in the machine, and this length will now be displayed in the warping menu.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
It is only possible to change the length during the first section. The length can be
changed but the new value of the length cannot be smaller then the already warped
length. After the first section, changing the length will have no effect on the machine
since all sections must have the same length.
4.8 How to change the number of sections during warping
Changing the number of sections is possible after pressing on the small sections
display box. After this, the menu will jump to the database form with the focus on
the number of sections textbox. The number of sections can immediately be
changed. The new value can be saved with the save button in the data form. Be
aware that with this action the original number of sections will be overwritten after
saving. After changing the number of sections the operator can go back to the
warping menu after pressing the load command. After this, the new number of
sections is loaded in the machine and this new number will now be displayed in the
warping menu.
4.9 Close button
This button is used to exit from the warping form. After clicking this button the main
menu will appear.
4.10 Status bar
On the bottom of the warping form is a status bar where the loaded parameters are
visible.
Panel1: Beam name

Panel2: Ends per section
Panel3: Ends per last section
Panel4: Section width
Panel5: Date
Panel6: Time
Page 36
ApplicationManual7
The information in the different panels is the information that has been loaded
during the last load command (with exception of date and time).
This information can differ from the actual conditions during warping and/or
beaming. For Instance, if during warping the speed has been changed without a
new load, then this information will not be displayed in the status bar.
4.11 Important remark for exact feed tuning
During warping the first consecutive sections it is possible that the actual feed
differs from the feed that has been selected in the first section. This is due to the
influence of the cone on the warped sections. The first section is warped on a hard
surface. The second section is wounded on the first section and this first section will
be slightly compressed because of the inherent softness of the yarn material.
This compression is dependant on the type of yarn and of the used tension in the
tensioners. Generally, span yarns will be compressed more then synthetic yarns.
Selecting a low tension on the yarn tensioners will also result in softer sections and
more compression.
Subsequent sections will have several sections underneath and will be compressed
more. As a result the exact feed should be measured on the sections out of the
cone area of the cone-drum assembly. For exact feed tuning the feed should be
observed for the sections out of the cone area. After recalculating the density with
the calculator button (see IMPORTANT REMARK in chapter 3.2) a fine tuned feed
factor will be obtained that should be saved with the used yarn. This way, the yarn
density will give an exact feed value for later use of this yarn.
5 Beaming
5.1 The beaming form
The warping form can be closed after warping of all sections is finished. Then the
beaming menu can be selected in the main menu.
Page 37
ApplicationManual7
Figure 21
On the beaming form there are 3 large display boxes. In the first one (top left) the
actual beaming speed is displayed. In the second one (bottom left) the actual length
is displayed. In the third one (top right) the selected pull force is displayed. The first
2 displays indicate the information with red digits.
On top of each of the large display is a smaller display where the loaded
parameters can be read. Normally, this information should correspond with the
information during the last load command.
How to change speed during beaming?
This is possible by clicking on the small speed display box. After this, the menu will
jump to the database form with the focus on the speed textbox. The speed can be
changed immediately.
Page 38
ApplicationManual7
The new value can be saved with the save button of the data form. Be aware that
this action will overwrite the original speed. After changing the speed the operator
can go back to the warping menu after pressing the load command. After this, the
new speed is loaded in the machine and this new speed will now be displayed in
the warping menu. The machine will increase (or decrease) the speed until the new
value is reached.
5.2 How to change length during beaming
This is possible after clicking the small length display box. After this, the menu will
jump to the database form with the focus on the length textbox. The speed can be
changed immediately. The new value can be saved with the save button in the data
form. Be aware that this action will overwrite the original length. After changing the
length the operator can go back to the warping menu after pressing the load
command. After this, the new length is loaded in the machine and this new length
will now be displayed in the warping menu. The machine will increase (or decrease)
the length until the new value is reached.
5.3 How to change pull force during beaming
Pressing on the small pull force display box can do this. After this, the menu will
jump to the database form with the focus on the pull force textbox. The pull force
can immediately be changed. The new value can be saved with the save button in
the data form. Be aware that this action will overwrite the original pull force. After
changing the pull force the operator can go back to the warping menu after
pressing the load command. After this, the new pull force is loaded in the machine
and this new pull force will now be displayed in the warping menu. The machine will
increase (or decrease) the pull force until the new value is reached.
5.4 Memorised stops list
There is a list on the warping form with all the stop positions that have been
memorised during the warping (see chapter 4.4). With this list the operator has a
perfect overview of all stops and can check the length to come until the next stop.
This way, the operator knows if he would better stay near the machine or if he has
enough time left to do something different. After the machine has reached a stop,
this stop will be automatically deleted from the list.
5.5 Close button
This button is used to exit from the beaming form. After clicking this button the main
menu will appear on the monitor.
Page 39
ApplicationManual7
5.6 Status bar
On the bottom of the beaming form is a status bar where the loaded parameters are
visible.
Panel1: Beam name

Panel2: Date
Panel3: Time
The information in the different panels is the information that has been loaded
during the last load command (with exception of date and time).
6 An overview of the other forms on the operator interface
6.1 Start up form
This form is displayed after the operator interface has been switched on. This form
has the HUYS logo and the machine serial number. To enter in the interface menu
the operator should simply click on this form.
6.2 Password entry form
This form is displayed after the start-up form has been clicked. On this form the
operator can input his (her) password. There are two different passwords. One
password is reserved to the system manager. After entering this password saved
beams and yarn types can be deleted. This password also gives access to the
backup and restores possibilities in the tools menu.
After the password has been types the OK button should be clicked to enter in the
main menu.
After clicking on the end button the machine will end the program.
There are six operator passwords that give access to all functionality of the
operator interface with the exception of the delete buttons in the data- and yarns
forms and the backup and restore menu.
For more information on how to input and change these passwords see chapter
6.5.
6.3 Main menu (figure 22)
After entering the password on the password entry form the machine will display
the main menu. This main menu has 4 buttons to enter the following menus:
1 Warping form (used for warping, see chapter 4)
2 Beaming form (used for beaming, see chapter 5)
Page 40
ApplicationManual7
3 Data form (used for input and/or edit beam and yarn information, see chapter 3)
4 Tools form (used for system configuration, service, backup & restore, see chapter
6.4)
The 5th button, the pause button, is used to protect the actual machine
configuration. After clicking this pause button the program will jump to the password
entry form and nobody can change machine settings without knowing the
passwords. This way, non authorised personal will not be able to change machine
settings during the absence of the operator. To continue working with the machine,
the password should be entered again.
The 6th button, the end button, is used to end the program.
Page 41
ApplicationManual7
6.4 Tools form (figure 23)
The tools menu is entered after pressing the tools button on the main menu. On the
tools menu there are 5 different buttons.
The first button which is called ‘password’, gives access to the passwords menu.
This menu should be entered by the system manager only. Operators can enter the
password form but will have no access to the passwords.
The 2nd button will enter the language menu for selecting the interface language.
Please note that after selecting another language the program has to be restarted.
The 3rd button will give access to the service menu. This menu should be entered
by authorised personal only.
The 4th button is used to backup on a floppy disk all the beams and yarns that have
been save previously on the interface computer hard disk.
The close button on the top right is used to exit the tools menu. After clicking this
button the main menu will appear on the screen.
Figure 23
Page 42
ApplicationManual7
6.4.1 Backup (figure 24)
Before making a backup, a formatted and empty floppy disk should be

entered in the floppy disk drive of the computer interface computer.
After entering a floppy in the floppy disk drive and after clicking on the
backup button, the computer will save the entire beam and yarn settings
from the hard disk of the computer on the floppy disk. Because of the
compressed data format approximately 1.000 beams and yarns can be
stored on a single floppy disk. The floppy should be taken out only after the
write procedure is finished and the green LED indicator on the floppy disk
drive is switched off.
We strongly suggest that a backup is made at least once per week. The data
on a backup disk should only be deleted after a new backup is taken on a
second floppy disk. This way one floppy disk will always be available with
backup data if, for some reason, the backup operation fails.
Figure 24
Page 43
ApplicationManual7
If a severe problem occurs with the interface computer it is possible that the
data on the hard disk is lost. As a result, the company HUYS cannot be put
responsible if important data has been lost and no backup floppy has been
made.
6.4.2 Restore
A restore operation should only be done when the data is lost on the hard
disk of the interface computer. This operation will remove all the saved
beams and yarns on the hard disk. As a result, one should proceed very
carefully with this operation.
To restore backup files one should enter first the floppy disk with the backup
data in the floppy disk drive. After clicking on the restore button of the tools
menu the machine will write all the saved beams and yarns from the backup
floppy disk to the interface computer hard disk.
6.5 Password form
This menu is used for changing the passwords. The menu can only be activated
after the system manager has entered his password and pressed the OK button.
After entering the system password all the passwords will become visible (figure
25).
The first password on the top, indicated as system password, belongs to the
system manager and gives access to the delete buttons in the data and yarns form
and will allow making a backup and restoring saved data.
The other passwords, marked as passwords 1 to password 6 are for the machine
operators. When the interface program is started using one of these 6 passwords,
the operator will not be able to delete beam- and yarn data and will have no access
to the backup and restore functions.
Page 44
ApplicationManual7
Figure 25
IMPORTANT REMARK:
After changing and saving new passwords the interface program should be ended
and restarted in order for the new passwords to become active.
6.6 Language form
This menu is used for changing the language of the operator interface. After
clicking one of the available flags the selected language is highlighted. The
program should be ended and restarted in order for the language to become active.
Once a language has been selected, this language will remain the default language
until this language is changed again.
At the moment of printing of this manual several languages are available:
-Dutch
-English
-French
-German
Page 45
ApplicationManual7
-Czech
-Turkish
-Hungarian
-Portuguese
On some windows message boxes, button captions will always appear in English.
This is inherent to the English windows system used in the equipment. This can
only be changed after installing a windows version of the respective used language.
6.7 Service form
The service menu is used for diagnostics purposes only. In the left frame a number
of messages are visible.
If a message is not highlighted (grey background colour), then is means that this
error is non-present. If the message is highlighted, then this means that the
described situation is actually present on the machine. Not all of the described
messages do indicate that an error is happening. Some of the messages have as
function to assist the operator: for instance: ‘end of section’.
In addendum 1 is a complete listing of all messages.
In the right frame is a drawing of the warping drum and the warping table. The label
next to the warping table indicates the distance of the warping table to the zero
position. This distance can be checked on the machine. If a positioning error occurs
then this value can be consulted to check the actual position of the warping
headstock on the machine.
7 Section warping control buttons
7.1 Control buttons on the operator interface
The control buttons on the operator interface cabinet are situated under the
interface computer monitor.
7.1.1 Park position button
Page 46
ApplicationManual7
This black control button is used to move the warper headstock to the right
position on the warper frame. This position should be used before the start of
the beaming operation.
7.1.2 Move section warper switch
The move section warper switch is used for moving the section warper in
both directions. It is commonly used to move the warper to the beaming
position after the warping is finished or to centre the warper with the creel.
7.1.3 Brakes button
The orange brakes button has 3 possible functions:
1/ This button is used to switch on the section warper. When the warper
main power is switched on, the warper is supplied with the input voltages
but all motors are not connected with supply voltages for security reasons.
After pressing the brakes button, all relays and motor switches are
activated and the section warper is ready for warping.
2/ The second function is to activate or to release the brakes. After pressing

the brakes button, the brakes are activated and the orange backlight of
the button is on. After pressing the same button again, the brakes are
released and the orange backlight will go out.
3/ The button can also be used to stop the machine during warping.
Page 47
ApplicationManual7
7.1.4 Start warping button
The green start warping button is used to start warping. When the button is
activated the green backlight will lit on.
This light is an indication for the operator that warping has started. After
pushing this button the machine will start warping and the speed will
increase until the warping speed, selected in the operator interface, is
reached. The machine will automatically stop when the selected warping
length is reached.
During warping, the machine will stop at the programmed stop positions for
taking the leases.
7.1.5 Stop warping button
The red stop warping button is used to stop the warping process.
7.1.6 Section repeat button
The bleu section repeat button is used after each section is finished. By
pressing this button, the warper headstock will move to the exact position of
the next section.
Page 48
ApplicationManual7
IMPORTANT REMARK:
The section repeat button can only be activated after the operator has
pressed the stop button when the previous section is finished. This way the
machine is informed that the previous section is completely finished and that
the next section can be started.
7.1.7 Emergency stop
The emergency button is the red mushroom-type button on the right hand
side. This button should be pressed whenever a dangerous situation occurs.
Or when a severe machine malfunction is observed. All the functions of the
machine are immediately switched off after pressing this button. When the
emergency button has been pushed it is impossible to start up the machine
again without unlocking this emergency button.
7.2 Control buttons on the warping headstock
The warper headstock control buttons are situated on the top of the cabinet
of the warping headstock within easy reach of the operator during the
warping job. A knee button and rotation direction switch is also situated at
knee level on the warping headstock cabinet. These two buttons offer a very
ergonomic solution for hands-free crawl speed control of the warper drum.
7.2.1 Start warping
The green start button is used to start warping. After pushing the button the
machine will start warping and the speed will increase until the warping
speed, selected in the operator interface, has been reached. The machine
will automatically stop when the selected warping length is reached.
During warping, the machine will stop at the programmed stop positions for
taking the leases.
7.2.2 Stop warping
Page 49
ApplicationManual7
The red stop warping button is used to stop the warping process.
7.2.3 Section repeat
The bleu section repeat button is used after each section is finished. By
pressing this button, the warper headstock will move to the exact position of
the next section.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
The section repeat button can only be activated after the operator has
pressed the stop button when the previous section is finished. This way the
machine is informed that the previous section is completely finished and that
the next section can be started.
7.2.4 Emergency stop
The emergency button is the red mushroom type button on the right hand
side. This button should be pressed whenever a dangerous situation occurs.
Or when a severe machine malfunction is observed. All the functions of the
machine are immediately switched off after pressing this button. When the
emergency button has been pushed it is impossible to start up the machine
again without unlocking this emergency button.
7.2.5 Crawl speed (knee button) controls
This button is situated at knee level on the warper headstock cabinet side. It
will rotate the drum forward or backward at reduced speed (crawl speed).
As this button has been designed to be activated by the knee it will leave the
hands free for pulling a section backwards or for any other operation on the
warper headstock where 2 hands are needed.
The black selection button can select the direction of the drum movement.
After rotating it backwards (direction creel) and releasing, the drum will rotate
backwards when the knee button is pressed.
Page 50
ApplicationManual7
When the warping of a section is (re)started then the knee button is not
active anymore for security reasons. Pushing it accidentally will have no
effect.
To activate the knee button again, this selection button has to be rotated
again to the desired direction after the warper has stopped.
8 Beaming machine control buttons
A first double set of beaming machine control buttons is situated on the front of the
beaming machine. One set is situated at the left side of the beaming machine and
the others set is situated at the right hand side of the beaming machine. The 2 sets
are positioned as to increase the comfort of the operator. Each set is situated in
front of one of both beamer arms.
As a result the operator is always standing in line with one of the beamer arms, the
beam flange and the left or right edge of the yarn sheet.
Two joystick controls are situated on top of both beamer arms.
8.1 Start beaming button
The 1st button (green) of each set is used for starting the beaming operation.
8.2 Stop beaming button
The 2nd button (red) of each set is used for stopping the beaming process.
8.3 Move section warper switch.
The black move section warper switch is used for moving the section warper in both
directions. It is generally used for moving the warper left or right for perfect
alignment of the yarn sheet edges with the beam flanges.
8.4 Emergency stop
The emergency button is the red mushroom-type button on the right hand side. This
button should be pressed whenever a dangerous situation occurs or when a severe
machine malfunction is observed. All the functions of the machine are immediately
switched off after pressing this button. When the emergency button has been
pushed it is impossible to start up the machine again without unlocking this
emergency button. Only after solving the problem the emergency switch might be
unlocked to start up the machine.
Page 51
ApplicationManual7
8.5 Joystick controls
Both joy stick controls on the two beamer arms are used for the right and left
movement of these beamer arms.
If the beaming machine has a hydraulic lifting device, the same joysticks can be
used for lifting and doffing of the beam.
A beamer arm will move left when the joystick is pushed to its left position. The
beamer arm will move right when the joystick is pushed to its right position;
When a joystick is moved down then the hydraulic lifting device will go down. If the
joystick is pushed up then the hydraulic lifting device will go up for lifting the beam.
8.6 Hydraulic pressure indication
On cabinet of the cone side of the warper is a manometer. On this manometer the
oil pressure for the brakes can be read. This pressure should vary around 60-70
bars during warping. During beaming, the oil pressure is dependant on the selected
pull force. Normal values range between 5 and 25 bars.
8.7 Oil temperature indication
On the cabinet on the cone side of the warper is also a temperature gauge to
monitor the temperature of the hydraulic oil of the braking system. This temperature
should not go higher then 80 degrees Celsius.
Page 52
ApplicationManual7
9 The SIGMA file system (for advanced users only)
On the hard disk C: you will find one file with the name HuysSettings and one
directory with the name Sigma. Changing the contents of the location and/or
contents of these directories and files can seriously damage the machine
functionality. Therefore, the HUYS service department should always be contacted
before changing one of these directories or files.
The file HuysSettings has a number of files for initialising the computer (see list 1).
The first 6 lines define the location of the files needed by the interface program.
Line 1 indicates that the interface computer resident files are on hard Disk C:
Line 2 refers to the location of the saved beam information directory ‘Data’
Line 3 refers to the location of the directory with the different language files
Line 4 refers to the location of the directory with the different flags that are used in
the interface program to indicate the selected language.
Page 53
ApplicationManual7
Line 5 refers to the location of the directory with the passwords. The passwords are
encrypted and cannot be read.
Line 6 refers to the location of a directory with a copy of the directory data. This is
designed for safety reasons. Whenever the saved data in the directory ‘Data’ would
be corrupt, there is still a copy available in directory Bu. (Backup)
Line number 7 defines the floppy disk drive A: as the location and origin for backup
and restore functions.
The next 8 lines are used for declaring the file extensions.
The next 18 lines are allocating all used interface files to the different directories.
’HUYS_USER_LANGUAGE={HUYS_FILE_LANGUAGE_00}’ indicates that the language

English is the current default language.
’HUYS_NR_BOBBINS=560’ indicates the default total number of bobbins on the creel.
’HUYS_BEAM_PARAMETER=1’ indicates that in the beaming tension calculation program

1 cN is used for each Tex of yarn number on the beam.
’HUYS_ACTIVE_BEAM=SIGMA’ indicates the current active beam. This beam will also
be loaded on the machine during a restart.
