2.7 Fabric take-down
Premature wear of the take-
down roller
The roller rubber of the take-down roller (1) is prematurely worn by:
 Fabric take-down values too high (roller spins)
 Contact pressure too high
 Yarns harmful to rubber, e.g. abrasive, sanding yarns or yarn finishes
such as greases or oils
 UV radiation
 Cleaning agents harmful to rubber, e. g. ether or fuels.
Recommendation: Use cleaning petrol for cleaning
2.7.2 Auxiliary take-down

Auxiliary take-down
The auxiliary take-down grasps the fabric directly under the needle bed.
The auxiliary take-down supports:
 Stitch formation
 Adjustment of the fabric take-down to requirements typical of the fabric
 Narrowing or widening
If the fabric is only taken down with the main take-down, the rollers of the
auxiliary take-down are pivoted apart.
The take-down force and the take-down speed are programmable.
