Abstract:

These studies concern the work of a modernised autoleveller whose algorithm of operation allows for the phenomenon of sliver retardation after short-term regulation. The autoleveller’s effectiveness at standard and corrected controlling signals was compared. Measurements were made for cotton, viscose and polyester fibres, applying three different drafts in the autoleveller. It was demonstrated that the levelling capacity of the new autoleveller is much better than that of the traditional one.
