Automated Lap Joining and Comber Feeding
topic
Automated lap transport and joining systems deliver full lap rolls to comber machines, detect approaching lap exhaustion from remaining lap diameter sensors, and execute automatic lap splicing by overlapping the tail of the expiring lap with the head of the new lap to create a join of defined overlap length that minimises the mass disturbance at the splice zone in the combed sliver.
Role
Eliminates the labour requirement and piecing quality variability of manual lap changing on combers, with automated lap joining providing more consistent splice overlap geometry than manual joining and enabling unattended comber operation between periodic maintenance interventions that is essential for economically competitive combing room operation in modern spinning mills.
