A system for in-line treatment of thread for use with a thread consuming device, comprising:
- a treatment unit comprising at least one discharge device being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread when activated;
- and
- a drive unit being configured to move said at least one discharge device between an idle position and an operational position being arranged along an axis of movement, wherein the drive unit is configured to move said at least one discharge device by means of a mechanism providing different transmission ratios between the drive unit and the discharge device depending on the position of the discharge device along the axis of movement.
A method for in-line treatment of at least one thread, comprising:
- providing a treatment unit comprising at least one discharge device being configured to dispense one or more coating substances onto the at least one thread when activated;
- providing a drive unit,
- wherein the drive unit is configured to:
- to move said at least one discharge device between an idle position and an operational position being arranged along an axis of movement, wherein the drive unit is configured to move said at least one discharge device by means of a mechanism providing different transmission ratios between the drive unit and the discharge device depending on the position of the discharge device along the axis of movement.
