CMS W - New Weft Yarn Carrier Qt

Another type of weft yarn carrier available for the CMS W machines:

Up to now

Qw yarn carrier

One weft yarn carrier can be used per system.

New

Qt yarn carrier

Up to three weft yarn carriers can be used per system.

There are three versions of the Qt weft yarn carrier:

  • Qt1 – 141 mm (ID 4170 282 857)
  • Qt2 – 161 mm (ID 4170 282 858)
  • Qt3 – 181 mm (ID 4170 282 859)

The yarn carrier plunger (A) drives of the yarn carrier carriage at the outside and pushes the yarn carrier ahead.

Advantage:

  • No additional system is required for the weft yarn.
  • One system only inserts the weft yarn and encloses it.

Working with Qt

One system only inserts the weft yarn and encloses it (S2).

The yarn carriers must be on different tracks.

  • The Qt yarn carrier is used on track 3 to track 6.
  • Only one Qt yarn carrier can be used per track.
  • If the Qt2 or Qt3 weft yarn carrier is driven by the S2 or S3 system, then the leading system can only be used to a limited extent.

Notes:

  • Height of the Qt yarn carrier = Height of a normal yarn carrier
  • The yarn carrier bow is taken from the corresponding normal yarn carrier.
