1.0.17 Handling of Electrostatic
Endangered Components and
Assemblies
Electronic components and assemblies (Printed Circuit Boards) are endangered by electrostatic loads. The follow-ing rules should be strictly observed!
All electrostatic endangered components and assemblies (called EGB in the following text) are marked with the sign shown on the left.
Electrostatic loads build up through friction of insulation materials (e.g. floor covering, clothing made of synthetic fi-bers, etc.). Even minute loads could cause damage or de-struction of certain components. Such damages are not al-ways easy to detect, they could partly cause secondary damage or malfunction after a certain period of time. D Transport and Storage of EGB only in the special
pro-tective wrapping or casing supplied by Schlafhorst. D Avoid materials tending to generate electrostatic loads:
– Non-conductive plastic containers and table tops, – Synthetic clothing,
– Shoes with plastic soles, – Transparent folders, – Styrofoam casing, – Monitor screens, etc.
D Wear
– Cotton clothing,
– EGB shoes with leather or conductive soles. D Utilize
– Conductive floors,
– EGB work stations with appropriate tooling (grounded soldering equipment, grounding bracelet, etc.),
– Conductive EGB envelopes, plastic containers, IC bars or cartons of conductive foam material,
– Containers and work surfaces made of wood, metal, conductive plastics, or paper envelopes.
1.0.18 General Machine Description
The Autoconer is a machine for automatic winding of cross-wound yarn packages. The Autoconer represents an auton-omous, compact winding machine with integrated drive, with a splicer/knotter on each winding unit, and with a cor-responding sub-pressure supply. Plug-type connections are provided for electricity and compressed air supply.
The Autoconer is conceived as single-unit machine in one-sided length construction, as RH or as LH machine, com-posed of 6 machine sections, or 60 winding units (maxi-mum). The winding unit gauge is 320 mm from one winding unit to the next one.
Each winding unit is self-sufficient, composed of an upper part containing the assemblies required for the winding process, and a lower part for transport and creeling of sup-ply packages.
Single and plied yarns spun from natural or synthetic staple fibers, Siro yarns, Core yarns, Linnens, Ramie and Crepe yarn, can be wound after a winding test.
No jute, animal hair cord, novelty yarn.
The permissible yarn count range is 667 tex (Nm 1.5) through 3.5 tex (Nm 290). Special winding tests are re-quired for yarns coarser than 330 tex (Nm 3) or finer than 5.9 tex (Nm 170).
1.0.19 Noise emission value
The A-valued, work place-related emission value of one in-dividual machine decisively depends upon the machine location at the point of operation. The noise emission value can be calculated using the following formula:
LpA= LpA,0+∆L 1 + ∆L 2 Explanation:
LPA,0: Emission value applicable for the following operation conditions.
∆L 1 : Supplement for the sub-pressure (suction) ad-justed on the Informator.
∆L 2 : Supplement for cycling frequency / winding speed.
Machine: Autoconer 338
No. of winding units: 60
Linear winding speed: 1100 mpm
Sub-pressure 30 hPa
Compr. air for splicing: 0.4 MPa Code: 0 0 4 Prism: DZ3
Compr. air for opening: 0.4 MPa Code: 1
Compr. air for multijet: 0.36 MPa Compr. air for blow-lifting: 0.26 MPa
Cycling frequency: 0.85 cycles per minute per
winding unit
Emission value LpA,0: 77.0 dB
Supplement∆L 1 : 0.7 dB per 10 hPa sub-pressure increase
Supplement∆L 2 : 0.25 dB for each additional 0.1 cycle per min. per wdg. unit. This factor explains the influence of winding speed inas-much as with known yarn break rate per yarn length the cycling frequency of the machine depends on winding speed.
Furthermore, the suction noise levels are above those of the speed-depending winding noise.
Standard relation: Determination of the emission value made according to DIN EN ISO 9902-4. The measuring unit is smaller than 3 dB.
Example: Cycling frequency of a machine is 1.1 cycle per minute per winding unit; operational sub-pressure is 45 hPa. The resulting emission value is 78.7 dB. Deviations from this value, up or down, are possible due to dif-ferent compressed air levels, splicer prisms, suction nozzle settings, etc. Noise pressure level: The local noise pressure level,
incor-poratinging operation conditions such equipment density, No. of ma-chines, foreign noise influx, etc., could differ individually. It is therefore not possible to state an universally applicable value.
Excessive noise emission leads to impaired hearing ability. Hearing protection is mandatory beginning at 90 dB (A).
From a noise imission pressure level of 85 dB (A) on up, UVV recommends hearing protection, as the probability of hearing damage increases consider-ably above this value.
We recommend to wear hearing protection for all persons present in the environment of Auto-coner(s).

1.0.20 Unloading Instructions
For crane transportation observe the following points: D Staying, or passing through under suspended loads is
prohibited.
D Use two individual ropes of equal minimum length. D When lifting a machine section, avoid slanted
orienta-tion of the ropes, as the secorienta-tion could be deflected.
D Use a double-T beamI200 mm (8”), or
