IWF 2231 System Orientation SYSTEM The system consists of feeders, cables to each feeder, PTU (pneumatic threading up), and input yarn tensioners. FEEDER The feeder consists of; • Motor and control circuit. • Spool body with 7 independently adjustable fingers. •...
IWF 2231 Settings SPOOL BODY CIRCUMFERENCE The required pick length is the deciding factor when calculating the spool body circumference and the number of windings for each pick. The table below indicates the pick length ranges that can be obtained from different numbers of windings.

IWF 2231 Settings YARN STORE The number of windings in the yarn store is regulated by the position of the yarn store sensor. The number of windings needed depends on the weaving machine's speed, the pick length and the pattern. Irregular patterns require larger yarn stores. Increasing yarn store variation will also require an increased yarn store.
IWF 2231 Balloon Control To ensure optimal yarn performance between the feeder and the weaving machine it may be beneficial, especially when weaving heavier yarns, to use a cone for balloon control. During the initial installation the cone should be adjusted to the outermost position, then, with the machine running, slide the cone inwards towards the feeder until the optimum yarn path is obtained.
IWF 2231 Threading Before threading the feeder it is necessary to remove any yarn that may be on the spool body. To do this the magnet pin must be opened. This can be performed using any of the following methods: A short push on the yarn release button will release one winding.
