Abstract
An apparatus feeds a plurality of threads to rotating godets of a melt spinning machine including a manual injector (e.g., a main manual injector) and a cutting device. In order to be able to selectively feed the threads individually or as a bunch, a transfer device and a second manual injector (e.g., an auxiliary manual injector) are associated with the manual injector.
Claims10
An apparatus for feeding a plurality of threads to rotating godets of a melt spinning machine with a manual injector and a cutting device, wherein the manual injector is assigned a transfer device and a second manual injector.
A method for feeding a plurality of spun threads to rotating godets of a melt spinning machine, the method comprising:
- a. taking over a first initially spun thread by a main manual injector and guiding the thread around a plurality of rotating godets,
- b. threading the thread into a run-in thread guide of a transfer device and parking the main manual injector with the positioned suction tube,
- c. taking over a neighboring initially spun thread by an auxiliary manual injector and guiding the thread around a plurality of rotating godets,
- d. threading the thread into the run-in thread guide and a run-out thread guide on the transfer device,
- e. triggering a cutting device for severing the thread, a loose end of the thread being taken up by the main manual injector, and
- f. repeating steps c to e until all of the threads can be guided on the main manual injector.
