TI, TEM, BUFT EXP. 2: Study on Pirn Winding Machine Introduction: Pirn or weft winding is the process of transferring of weft yarn on the small Pirn able to use in the shuttle of a loom. A tapered bobbin having weft yarn on it is known as Pim. A Pin is used on end feed shuttles. The pirn differs from bobbins in that the pirns are tapered. Objective of the experiment: To know about the operation of pirn winding machine. > To know about the setup of pitn winding machine. > To know about different parts using in pirn winding machine. D Write a short report according to the experiment. Definition of pirn: A pin or quill is a weft bobbin that is placed inside a shuttle in shuttle weaving. As the shuttle travels back and forth across the width of the shuttle loom, the weft yarn is unwound from the pirn through the eye (for ordinary shuttle) or slot (for automatic shuttle) of the shuttle and lay in the shed. The yarn on the quill is tapered at one end such that the yarn with drawl takes place continuously without entanglement.

In quilling, the yarn is transferred from a larger package to the smaller quill. Also, the inspection of yarn is not part of the process, therefore, there is no yarn clearing zone.

Also, instead of winding them ack and forth, the weaver winds them a half inch at a time. ‘The pirn is mounted on the spindle driven by a mechanism which consists of gears and cam. ‘The pirn rotates at very high and constant speed. When the diameter of Pirn increases. The yarn winding tension increases up to little extent due to less amount of yarn on the Pin, When it rotates, it drags the yarn and winds on it. In pitn winding process a parallel winding packages results. ‘This package comprises one or more threads which are laid very nearly parallel to the layers already existing on the package. “The yarn receives to fro motion through yarn traverse guide. This yarn guide performs traversing motion of yarn. yarn traverse guide which makes neatly parallel coils of yarn on the Pirn, Almost half inch of pirn (chasing length) gets wound at a time. Aca time the yarn moves to and fro between half inches distance of Pirn When this half inches distance is filed, the winding of next half inches begins, thus winding of complete Pirn is performed. ‘The the chasing length get shifted gradually during winding, ‘The weft bobbin or Pin contains very less amount of yarn length on it because it is very difficult to throw a shuttle with Pitn containing high amount of yarn on it. Drawbacks of pirn winding machine: > voo vo In Pirn winding machine, resulting (output) package is many times smaller than supply package, tis almost not capable to eliminate objectionable yarn faults during winding, Re-joining of yarn do not take place. ‘Traverse has the characteristic of an oscillation in which the package diameter is controlled continuously. Te necessitate to build bunch. At the time of beginning the winding tension is less. As the diameter increase, winding tension also rises.
