Sec 1 Introduction
This chapter-details the proper operating procedures for the “Process Coner II.”
The Process Coner II is a high-performance automatic winder. Although its operation is simple, the Process
Coner II requires periodic maintenance to ensure high quality yarn and efficient production.
1
Sec
Please use this chapter as a reference during operation. Some information may vary for your particular
operation depending upon the yarn type, the yarn count, and the specifications of the Process Coner II being
used at your plant.

When you need to lean several winding units forward at the same time during
maintenance, etc., ensure that they are “two winding units apart.” If you lean too
many winding units forward simultaneously, the entire frame may lean forward
resulting in a serious accident.

all personnel.
2. Press the start button.
Automatic operation will begin about 30 seconds
after the start button is pushed.

● When the standby function* is OFF during Start button

machine startup
Once the blower is enabled and the static pressure
increases, the winding unit will begin automatic operation.

● When the standby function is ON during machine startup

The winding unit goes into standby mode*.
After pressing the start button again, the winding unit will begin automatic operation once the static pressure
has increased.

* When the winding unit is started and the blower is enabled, the yarn threading operation is possible.
* Refer to the VOS in Chapter 7 “<12100> Basic Machine Settings,” for details on the standby function during
machine startup.
* In the hot splicer specification, check if the nozzle temperature rises within one minute after the machine
starts. (Refer to Chapter 4Hd)

4-2 Yarn Threading Standby

Machine Settings
1. Turn ON the main switch.
2. Pressing the unit alarm reset button (middle) stops the winding unit temporarily.
3. On the VOS screen, set the winding conditions.
4. Set the yarn type, yarn count, and sensitivity level on the yarn clearer settings screen.

Once the yarn threading standby is enabled, the yarn threading operation can be performed by the AD or by
the operator.

Supplying the Spinning Bobbins (or the Supply Packages) to the Winding Units
1. Supply the spinning bobbins (or the supply packages) to the winding units. 4
* The supply method may vary depending on the machine type. Sec

Magazine type The operator supplies the spinning bobbins to the winding units
Bobbin Tray type The CBF automatically supplies the spinning bobbins to the winding units

Yarn Threading Standby

Before the threading operation is performed by the AD
or by the operator, the yarn threading standby (re-tie
pipe is raised) must be enabled on the machine.

1. Ensure that the bobbin is set in place on the

yarn supply part.
If the bobbin is not set in place, set it.

2. Press and hold the alarm reset button (top) for

more than 0.2 seconds while the machine is
temporarily stopped.
Yarn threading standby
Once the re-tie pipe picks up the lower yarn and The re-tie pipe is temporarily stopped while in top
temporarily stops in the top end position, the yarn end position
threading standby mode is enabled.

* If the re-tie pipe fails to pick up the lower yarn,

pressing the alarm reset button (top) again will
lower the re-tie pipe again. When the re-tie pipe
is lowered to the bottom position, press the alarm
reset button (top) again.
It is possible to repeat the re-tie pipe operation
as many times as required by pressing the alarm
reset button.
* When there is no lower yarn, change the bobbin
and perform the same operation.
* If the alarm reset button (top) is pressed while the
machine is still performing yarn threading standby
operations, the re-tie pipe will lower and return to
the temporary stop status.

AD Yarn Threading The re-tie pipe picks up lower yarn and is raised
1. Enable the yarn threading standby on the
machine.
2. Press the alarm reset button (middle).
The operator call LED (blue) lights up and the AD
goes into standby.
The AD performs the yarn threading operation and
automatically begins winding.

Sec

3. Hold the take-up tube with your left hand and

stretch the yarn across the bottom of the take-
up tube.
Ensure that the yarn ends (tail end) protruding out
of the take-up are as short as possible.

4. Set up the take-up tube so that the yarn is

located in between the take-up tube and the
bearing center.

5. Put the yarn on the bunch guide and guide the

yarn with your right hand so that it does not
fall out of the bunch guide.
Then, perform the bunch winding operation by
rotating the take-up tube with your left hand. (Wind
the yarn five or six times)

6. Ensure that the yarn is inside the yarn clearer

slit.
* If it is not, insert the yarn into the slit by pushing it
in with your hands.
* It is essential to ensure that the yarn is inside the
slit.

7. Press the alarm reset button (middle).

The drum will rotate and start the winding
operation.

If the yarn is not in the slit in the yarn clearer as per step 6, the drum will not start rotating. In
addition, the drum may not start rotating if it is left for a long time in yarn threading standby.
If this happens, lower the re-tie pipe and perform the threading operation, starting from the
temporary stop status again.
