Während des Ballenbindekreislaufs werden jedem der 6 (4) Knüpfer zwei Garnstränge zugeführt, wobei der eine von unten durch die Nadeln und der zweite von oben direkt dem Ballen zugeführt wird.
  • Page 107 Special Equipment Unterer Garnstrang (linke Seite) Das Garn (1) wird durch die Ösen (2) des Garnkasten, über die Garnführung (3) in die Bremse (4) geführt. Von dort aus gelangt es über die Öse der Spannfeder (5) durch die Rollen der Knoternadeln (6), auf die Untersei- te des Ballens.
  • Page 108 Special Equipment 12.7.4 Garnlaufanzeige Der untere Garnstrang wird elektronisch kontrolliert (Kap. 5.4.3 Elektrische Garnfehlanzeige). Der obere Garnlauf kann durch Reflektoren (Garnlauf- anzeiger), die oberhalb der Maschine angebracht sind, überwacht werden. Im Verlauf der Ballenbildung sollten sich die Garnlauf- anzeiger pulsierend hin und her bewegen. Alle Anzeiger heben und senken sich im allgemeinen gleichzeitig, außer im Falle einer Störung.
