Domanoff Planetary Ropewalk - Operation Guidelines

=9=
Operation guidelines
1. Do not overtighten the spool in the spoolholder. Leave a gap between the
spool and the felt collar to allow the thread run down the spool freely.
2. e distance between the crossbar and the adaptor disk denes the winding
point. Recommended distance is 35-40 mm away from the adaptor disk.
3. e outage during winding is not the ropewalk’s defect - it is about how
smoothly the thread runs down from one of spools. To eliminate the prob-
lem try the following:
• in some cases the only thing that helps is to remove all spools and ret
them in a dierent order;
• you can also try to replace the spool itself (the spools may be poor man-
ufactured);
• to check how the thread runs down just pull the thread and observe how
spool rotates in the spool holder.
4. Uneven operation of the take-up block, head jumping, winding point oset
do not make a problem and within certain range do not aect the winding.
is may piss o, however... :)
5. If you experience the lack of speed at the take-up block, reduce the head ro-
tation speed.
6. To increase the head rotation speed mount the friction coupling of larger di-
ameter. Using smaller diameter friction coupling will reduce the speed.
7. Do not confuse sockets for the main drive and for the take-up block. ese
require dierent voltages.
8. Refer to the picture for cores diameters.
