Tandem machine: Correction
of the yarn carriers in the
right carriage (Setup1,
Setup2)
If the carriages have a wide coupling, the stopping positions of
the yarn
carr
iers in the right carriage can be corrected (column "Right offset"). It may,
for example, be necessary to carry out corrections at very fine fabrics or at
special intarsia patterns. Possible reasons for a correction:
diff
erent wear of the yarn carriers used in the left and right carriages
different wear of the yarn carrier rails
different lubrication
different directions of the yarn feed
in the left
and right carriages
