Workstation of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine for the production of carpet yarn

A method for operating a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine comprising a winding device that has a package cradle with two frame arms for rotatable mounting of an empty tube or twisting package, a package drive roller for frictionally driving a twisting package, a yarn traversing device for traversing transfer of a yarn to the twisting package, an advance roller for regulating a yarn tension as well as a cover in the area of the advance roller with an opening for the yarn guided through the yarn traversing device to the twisting package,

• characterised in that,
• the empty tube is inserted into the package cradle, wherein the empty tube comprises a length of at least 315 mm,
• the thread is laid with a traverse stroke of at least 11 inches, and
• the twisting package is fed from a first feed package and a second feed package, and running lengths of the first and second feed packages correspond either to a half or to a whole number multiple of the twisting package to be produced.

• characterised in that,
• the package cradle has at least one movable, partially rotatable frame arm and is designed so that the empty tube with a length of at least 315 mm can be inserted,
• the package drive roller has a length of at least 286 mm,
• the yarn traversing device has a traversing stroke of at least 11 inches, and the opening in the cover corresponds with the yarn progress occurring through the traversing stroke, and
• the twisting package is fed from a first feed package and a second feed package, and running lengths of the first and second feed packages correspond either to a half or to a whole number multiple of the twisting package to be produced, and wherein a processing ratio of the first and second feed packages is 1:1.
