Cardboard cloth roller
What A cylindrical cardboard tube is placed over an aluminum square tube construction as a core for the
fabric. When the desired cloth length is reached, the loom can be stopped to remove the cloth roll.
The aluminum square tube construction can be pulled out of the cloth wrapped cardboard tube.
The aluminum square tube construction stays with the loom and is immediately in productive use
again. The cloth stores on the cardboard tube.

Inserting the fabric An opening can be made between the pressure rollers and the sand roller to make insertion and
positioning of the fabric easier.
Proceed as follows to open pressure roller(s) and insert fabric:
1. In case of spring tensioners on the pressure rollers:
Turn the handle “E” sideways to loosen the spring tensioner “F” on both sides.
This tensioner is not available on machines widths T380 and larger with double pressure
roller (carpet backing).
2. Turn the handle “A” upwards.

3. Insert the fabric “B” in the opening created between the pressure roller(s) “C” and the sand
roller “D”.
4. Turn the handle “A” downwards. Continue with step 5.
A
C

5. In case of spring tensioners on the pressure rollers:
Put back the spring tensioner “F” on both sides by means of closing the handle “E”.
Use a ring spanner “G” of 17 mm to lift the handle “A” of the pressure rollers in case of wide
machines or heavy pressure rollers.
Always grab the spanner “G” at the higher extremity in order to prevent your hand being
crushed.This is also the best way to reduce the force needed for the operation.
.
To... ... start with the spanner “G”...

lift the pressure rollers with the spanner... as far away from you as possible in order to
obtain enough stroke whilst pulling the spanner
“G” to you in a safe way.
lower the pressure rollers back on the sand as close to you as possible in order to have
roller... enough stroke to move the spanner “G” safely
all the way down from you.

Setting the clearance of the lever on machines with 1 pressure roller
Why In order to have a correct operation of the take up and to have maximum lifting of the pressure roller
when required, a clearance of 2 mm should be set between the screw “A” and support “B” on the
left-hand side and the right-hand side of the loom.
A
2 MM
Setting the clearance Proceed as follows to set the clearance:

1. Make sure the lever is in closed position.
2. Loosen the counter nut “A”.
3. Turn the bolt “B” until the clearance of 2 mm is reached.
4. Tighten counter nut “A”.
B A
2 MM

Setting the lever tension
Setting the lever The tension of the lever “A” can be set through lock nut “B”. Tighten lock nut “B” just enough to
tension prevent loose vibration of the lever “A”. This needs to be done on the left-hand side and the right-
hand side of the loom.
Lifting the first pressure roller

When On a machine executed with 2 pressure rollers, the first pressure roller can be lifted to weave fabric
that crease easy on the sand roller.
Execution The following illustration shows the execution to lift the first pressure roller.

C
• The fabric “A” clamps the spreader bar “B”, who is not fixed at any place, against the rollers
“C”.
• The sand roller pulls the fabric forwards so the spreader bar “B” turns around.
• The support plate “D” ensures that the spreader bar stays in place sideways.
• The bolt “E” ensures that the rolling spreader bar stays in place when there is no fabric on the
loom.

Replacing the rollers Proceed as follows to replace the rollers:
1. Remove the rolling spreader bar “A”.
2. Remove the clips “B”.

3. Remove the roller “C”.
4. Place a new roller “C”.
5. Place the clips “B”.
6. Place the rolling spreader bar “A”.

Selecting and changing the reduction ratio
Types and guideline The following table shows the reduction ration
If you have a... pick density with... then select...
• regular ≥ 10 picks/cm (25.4 picks/inch) 17/62
• low < 10 picks/cm (25.4 picks/inch) 34/43
Depending on weaving machine rpm and fabric shrinkage, with a reduction ratio of 17/62, it is
possible to achieve pick density values below the value shown. However, you should take
more heed of the limits if you are working with a larger rpm variation close to the limit value for
a reduction ratio.
We strongly advise you not to try to achieve higher pick density values with a reduction ration
of 34/43 than the value shown.
Furthermore, when modifying the reduction ratio also take into account the settings and the
let-off motion range.
Minimum pick density The following table shows the minimum pick density (picks/cm) achievable, given a shrinkage factor
table of 100% and taking into account:
• weaving speed in rpm (depending of the machine width and execution);
• reduction ratio selected (17/62 or 34/43).
At ... rpm and reduction ratio 17/62, or with reduction ratio 34/43,
the minimum picks/cm = ... the minimum picks/cm = ...
• 300 2,1 0,7
• 350 2,4 0,8
• 400 2,8 1,0
• 450 3,1 1,1
• 500 3,4 1,2
• 550 3,9 1,3
• 600 4,1 1,4
• 650 4,5 1,5
• 700 4,8 1,7

Removing starting marks

Removing starting Proceed as follows to remove starting marks:
marks 1. Optimize the mechanical settings.
2. If there are still starting marks, set the “Standard mode” by means of the terminal.
3. If there are still starting marks, set the “Expert mode” by means of the terminal.
Standard mode By means of the standard mode, 90% of all starting marks can be removed. In standard mode, the
control uses self-calculated standard settings, which depend on the set warp yarn specifications.
.
Only the following can be set:

• (de)activation of the leveling after a filling stop or another stop
• corrections for open/dense marks and for wavy marks
.
To set, see:
• -P340- Anti starting mark procedures> Standard mode > Open/dense marks [40]

Illumination types
Led-lamps The fabric is illuminated by means of bright high quality LED-lamps.
The following table shows the number of LED-lamps per meter according to the position of the lamp:
Position LED’s per meter
Above the fabric (ILUP) 28
Above the back shed 28
Below the fabric (ILLOW) 56
Different lengths The LED-lamps come in different lengths (150, 175, 200, 225 and 250 cm.). These can be combined
to assure a full illumination of the fabric.
The (combined) length of the LED-lamps also depends on whether or not the machine is reduced in
width. This brings us the following situations:
A. Mechanical filling cutter
B. Mechanical filling cutter with a maximum of 25 cm width reduction on the left-hand side
C. Mechanical filling cutter with a maximum of 50 cm width reduction on the left-hand side
Only the lower LED-lamp lengths are dependent of width reduction. The upper LED-lamps are
not depending on whether or not there is width reduction.

• turn on with every warp stop;
• turn on with every manual stop and will turn off after 60 seconds;
• turn on when pulling through the warp, and will turn off 60 seconds after stopping pulling
through the warp.
• turn on when unwinding or winding up the warp, and will turn off 60 seconds after stopping
unwinding or winding;
• turn off automatically after 15 seconds, when the machine is running.
4. AUTO with light curtain (only in case of safety light grid); when the safety light grid is
interrupted, the illumination will:
• turn on with every filling stop for 60 seconds;
• turn on with every warp stop for 60 seconds;
• turn on with every manual stop for 60 seconds;
• turn on with every interruption of the safety light grid.
.

This rule is prior to all other ‘auto with light curtain’ rules.
• turn on when pulling through the warp and turn off 60 seconds after stopping pulling through;
• turn on when unwinding or winding up the warp, and will turn off 60 seconds after stopping
unwinding or winding;
• turn off automatically after 15 seconds, when the machine is running.
