IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
1. We strongly recommend that this machine service is ensured by specially trained persons, skilled and
aware of all the safety instructions.
Any other person should be kept away from the machine.
2. The training consists in pointing out the safety rules and in indicating the places where protections against
accidents have been installed.
The protection against injuries by moving parts, as well as the hazards related to the electrical circuit
should also be included in the training.
The persons working on the machine must wear safety shoes, hair protections and tight clothing.
It is highly recommended to maintain the safety notions by a continuous training.
4. The safety symbols and instructions displayed on the machine must not be removed or cancelled. In case
of removal, make sure to re‐install them.
6. The machine safety devices must regularly be checked, and systematically after any mechanical or
electrical intervention having a direct or indirect incidence on the safety systems.
In case of problem or doubt, stop the machine, turn the power OFF, padlock the main switch and signal the
problem.
7. It is forbidden to intervene on the controllers programs areas other than those accessible and
programmable by means of the terminal foreseen for that purpose.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
9. Any intervention of adjustment, lubrication, cleaning, repair, etc... must compulsorily be achieved on a
stopped machine.
10. The power must be turned OFF at the main switch. To avoid any un‐wished or accidental putting or the
machine under power, it is highly recommended to padlock the main switch.
11. After the power has been turned OFF, and before any intervention, it is compulsory to wait for the
pneumatic circuit emptying and for the total stopping of all the organs.
12. Any intervention on the motors or other electrical part of the electrical circuit must only be achieved by an
electrician. The electrical documentation supplied with the machine is located in the electrical box.
13. Do not intervene directly with the fingers for cleaning and for removing any lapping.
Use appropriate tools.
The persons having to touch textile fibres should wear no finger ring, nor watch, nor bracelet.
14. For the machine proper use, it was necessary to allow its work by impulses, in spite of the drafting system
protections opening.
S When using the impulse button, keep the free hand away from any organ in motion. It is also
necessary to warn any other person likely to be in the area.
S A prolonged action on the impulse button implies a machine timed work. The cylinders development
is thus limited. The interval between two impulses is also timed, in order to prevent a continuous
work by repeated impulses. To respect the safety rules in force, it is forbidden to modify those
timings.
15. The timed impulses are totally forbidden to achieve operations of adjustment, maintenance, cleaning or
for removing lapped fibres.
16. The parameters of the inverters used for controlling the machine motors must not be changed.
Their access is protected by a password.
17. In case any of those instructions is not respected, the NSC responsibility could not be engaged.

CHARACTERISTICS
GV20A
GENERALITIES
The GV20 high speed drafter has been designed in various types, namely :
– Type 548: Machine with 4 heads, delivery 2 cans 800, consequently double end.
– Type 547: Machine with 4 heads, delivery 2 cans 700, consequently double end.
– Type 528: Machine with 2 heads, delivery 2 cans 800, consequently single end.
– Type 527: Machine with 2 heads, delivery 2 cans 700, consequently single end.
EQUIPMENT
The GV20 high speed drafter has been designed to have a perfectly vertical drafting system above the cans.
It consists in the following sub‐elements :
– A drafting assembly comprising two or four pinned heads, with feed cylinders, draft cylinders and delivery
guides.
– A delivery module composed of the coiler holding plate, the cans turntable as well as the cans loading cart.
The empty cans are presented to the introduction on an auxiliary plate fitted with a handling arm.
In order to increase the machine autonomy, a model with conveyor is also available.

PRACTICAL ADVICES
RUNNING‐IN
The first running‐in is achieved in our works, before dispatch.
That running‐in must be continued after the machine has been installed in its final place.
During the first 3 hours of work the speed can be progressively increased from 250 to 350 m/min.
The input speed must not exceed 60 m/min.
That speed must be respected during 12 hours of work. It is then possible to increase the cruising speed by
steps, the maxi speed being reached only after 50 hours of work.
During the running‐in, the chains driving the fallers must be oiled every 8 hours of work and their tension
checked.
During the first hours, check the machine work. In particular, make sure during that period that
no abnormal heating occurs at the level of the bearings, draft cylinders holders, feed cylinders,
draft cylinders casing and main motor.

CREEL
GV20A
GENERALITIES
The GV20 are supplied fitted with ”overhead” type creels installed at the rear of the machines, in order to easily
look after them from the working area.
They permit doublings 4, from cans up to dia 800 mm for the type 547 and 548 and dia 1000 mm for all the
other types.
USE
The slivers, positionnned by the guides are conveyed to the drafting system by smooth cylinders positively
driven in rotation. A detour cylinder achieves a slight tension and improves the slivers presentation.
According to the machine operational principle, the creel is filled whilst the machine is stopped.
In case of broken end or of empty can, an optical detection controls the machine stopping.
At the end of a lot, in order to ease the threading out, the operator can cancel the optical checking by means
of the creel stop motion on the “Machine operation” screen.

GV20A
ADJUSTMENTS
The sliver tension between creel and feed cylinder is adjustable from -2.4% to +11.6% by means of the false
cone and pinion R5 (90 of 95 teeth) located in the headstock (see table page 28).

The creel, like all the machine revolving elements, can eventually be polluted by flying fibres, dust, etc...
In order to avoid any incident, it is necessary to clean it regularly and to remove any beginning of lapping or
any ring of fibres around the axles.
We accept no responsability in case of accident due to the cleaning or checking of a revolving organ during
the machine work.

DRAFTING SYSTEM
GV20A
50 n. schlumberger
GV20A
DRAFTING HEAD
The head consists in a rear caterpillar and a front caterpillar on which the fallers are installed. There are 28 RH
fallers and 28 LH fallers per head.
The fallers are driven by chains. The fallers work under the fully intersecting principle. This implies that all the
fibres are controlled by a same population of pins.
The faller cantilevel gives an acceleration to the pins during their motion when leaving the fibres.
The design is such that the front and rear caterpillars can easily be removed.
A system of hinge permits to open the front caterpillar and a lock keeps it closed during the work.
In case of incident during the work, the head is protected by an electrical safety stopping the machine as soon
as the front caterpillar opens.

The fallers are built in RH and in LH version with on one side a special slot in which is housed a lock which
can be slid. On the other side, the faller has two holes.
The chains, located both sides of the caterpillar, are used to drive the fallers by means of the projecting axles.

FALLERS INSTALLATION
– Slide the lock in the faller slot, such a way that the assembly can pass between the chains axles.
– Introduce the end of a RH faller on the axles of one same plate of the LH chain.
(see also drawing pages 54 and 55).
– Temporarily slide the lock towards the exterior till it penetrates completely in the RH chain.
– Introduce the end of a LH faller on the two axles of one same plate of the RH chain, just above the chain
previously fitted.
– Move the lock such a way that the bent end, acting as a stop, is on the external side.
– For installing the last faller, it is necessary to slide‐in the lock of the faller having been installed the first.
– The last faller is easy to install if the installation is achieved at a place where the chains turn.
FALLERS DISMANTLING
To remove a faller, proceed in the way opposite to the one for installing the last faller:

In order to ensure a good longevity to the chains, their tension must be properly adjusted.
– When the chain has got some play, free the slide block by unlocking the screws (1) and (2).
– With a wrench (1) placed in the slot, operate the tightener in order to slacken the chain as much as possible.
– Insert a 5 mm Allen wrench (2) between the chain and the slide block which guides the chain.
– Tighten the chain by operating the tightener with the wrench (1) placed in the slot.
– Tighten the screws and remove the 5 mm Allen wrench (2) placed under the chain.
– Proceed the same way for each side of the caterpillars.

CATERPILLARS MAINTENANCE
To guarantee a long term caterpillars good work, it is necessary to clean them regularly. About every 400 hours,
remove a few fallers, clean inside the caterpillar, check the chains play, the condition of the fallers and of their
locking devices.
Remove the greasy deposits on fallers with a gentle solvent.
Check the pins condition.

GENERALITIES
Number of fallers per head: 56 RIGHT and 56 LEFT
The repinning frequency is estimated to be between a minimum of once every 12 months and a maximum of
once every 24 months or more, depending on the processed materials and the passage.
A manual apparatus, described in the following pages, permits an easy unpinning and repinning of the fallers.
Different types of inserts are available. The fallers bodies have no indication of the installed pins density; that
information is given by a system of insert colour code.

UNPINNING
Tighten firmly the faller in a vice the jaws of which are fitted with protection.
Introduce the unpinning tool at the slot extremity, the point getting under the pinned strip.
With the help of a wood hammer, get the strip away.
n.schlumberger 61
GV20A
PINNING
Place the apparatus between the jaws of a vice.
– Install the rule corresponding to the pinned strip to be mounted.
– Introduce the pinned strip in the rule, the pins turned downwards.
– Place the faller to be pinned on the pinned strip, the faller slot turned downwards and the faller end being
against the extremity support.
– Press the faller by pulling on the lever in the arrow direction.
– Lift the lever till its rear stop position and remove the pinned faller.
CHECKING
After the faller removal, it is important to visually check the proper pinned strip introduction. The strip must show
no edge. The strip must project 0.1 to 0.3 mm out of the faller body on the front part and be completely in the
faller at the rear.
A slight crushing of the polyamide body around the pins is not prejudicial to the faller work.

The pressure on draft cylinders is given by a ram controlled by a mini valve accessible when opening the door
of the corresponding head (see photo). The force applied by each pressure cylinder is of 110 daN for a
pneumatic pressure of 4 bars, adjustable in the pneumatic cabinet by the pressure reducer fitted on the
electrovalve. The pressure checking is achieved by a manocontact which stop the machine if the pressure
drops below 3 bars.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The contact plate is mounted such a way that it can slip on the block connected to the sensor. When the
pressure cylinder is removed, the spring brings the sensor to the front, the plate comes in low stopping and
the slippage catches the play.
When placing the pressure cylinder, the contact plate comes in high position, against the nylon stop, and
stops. The sensor continues to move back till the pressure cylinder rests against the draft cylinders. All the
plate play has thus been brought towards the low part. That play is fixed at 3 mm.

The pressure on feed cylinder is given by two springs housed in the feed cylinder shutter.
The adjustment achieved in our works corresponds to a total force of 33.5 daN on the pressure cylinder.
That adjustment consists in putting the two pressure screws against the plates.
The pressure on feed cylinder can be increased by screwing the two screws of the same value.
If the pressure cylinder Ø 80 has been regrinded by more than one millimeter, the pressure adjustment must
be modified. For this, screw the screws in order to reduce the length L by a value equal to half the pressure
cylinder diameter reduction. One turn of screw corresponds to 1 mm.

A general adjustment of the suction is possible by the action on a drawer more or less closing the suction
airflow.

By turning the screw in the (+) direction, the suction power increases.
To decrease the suction power, turn in the (- ) direction.
That adjustment permits to adapt the power of the suction to the delicacy of the processed materials.

MAINTENANCE
When completely cleaning the installation, it is recommended to replace the dirty filters by clean ones and to
achieve the filters cleaning outside the room. That way of proceeding has two advantages: no time loss and
no pollution on machines.
Ä Collectors maintenance
Depending on the materials being processed, the rubber scrapers of the various collectors can accumulate
greasy deposits or dyestuffs. It is then necessary to regularly clean them with a solvent.

BRUSHES ON FALLERS
Rotating brushes
Their purpose is esentially to detect
lappings around caterpillars. Fibres then
wind around the brushes and the latters
diameter increase generates an
electrical signal which stops the
machine. That fault is signalled on the
OMRON Terminal.
Fixed brushes
Their purpose is to keep the pinned
working elements clean, by a permanent
cleaning of the pins and of the fallers
bases.
Adjustments
Both for fixed and rotating brushes, the
adjustment must be achieved such a
way that the brush bristles slightly touch
the fallers base. If the brush goes too
deep, it is quickly deteriorated; if it is not
deep enough, it is not efficient.
The fixed brushes remove the fibres particles conveyed by the pins points. A perfect condition of those brushes
is necessary for a correct head work. We recommend to regularly check their condition and to replace them
in case of important wear.

In order to adjust that play, the rotating part is made of two parts kept apart by spacers. Act on the spacers
to reduce the play. All the spacers of a same coiler must have the same thickness.
Avoid :
– replacing only one or a few balls. Change all the balls of the bearing together.
– using balls with a bigger tolerance.

DRAFT BOX
DRAFT RATIO ADJUSTMENT
The draft ratio adjustment is achieved through a chain type gear box with draft cones.
The draft change must be performed as follows whilst the machine is stopped:
– Disengage the chain by turning to the maximum the clutching out handle corresponding to the cone on
which the adjustment must take place (it is then possible to release the locking handle).
– Slide the positioning handle in the notch corresponding to the chosen adjustment.
– Reengage the chain by bringing back the clutching out handle towards the center of the box. The machine
can work only if both clutching out handles are side by side in the middle of the box.

Ä Important remarks
In its two extreme positions, the safety pin of the clutching out handle must be in the corresponding hole.
The chain engagement is only possible if the positioning handle is well in front of a notch.
It is possible to operate both positioning handles at the same time for the adjustment.
The draft ratio increases when the positioning handles are pushed towards the machine body, i.e. towards
the figure 8 or the letter H.
The draft table (page 29) indicates the average values of the theoretical drafts ratios.
Ä MAINTENANCE
When installing the chain, make sure to follow the figure shown on opposite page (disengagement handles
in ”disengaged” position).
Convenient chain :

LUBRICATION
The gears of the draft cylinder casing are lubricated with fluid grease. The imperviousness is ensured by lip
joints fitted on polished rings. The top of that casing is fitted with a lubricator which feeds the bearing fitted
deep. A manual pump filled with fluid grease is supplied with the machine and fits that lubricator,
Ä Joints Replacement
When fitting new joints, take care not to damage the lip and make sure of its correct direction (lip towards the
inside of the casing). For that operation it is recommended to use the centering mandrel UGN41223AD
supplied with the machine. Take the opportunity of that operation of maintenance to replace the fluid grease.
The lip joints and the friction rings must be lubricated before fitting.

Ä Dismantling
– Open the front cover.
– Untighten the screws (1) and (2) on the horizontal shaft.
– Remove the gears (1 to 7) from the horizontal shaft.
– Remove the screws from the bearings (1) et (2).
– Pull the shaft out by about 40 mm.
– Remove the complete vertical shaft, taking care not to mix the wedges (1) and (2).
– Separate the conical gear from the horizontal shaft.
– Take the horizontal shaft out.
– In case of important wear on one of the gears, and by prevention, it is necessary to change the bearing,
reference 6306 Z, on the vertical shaft.
– Clean inside the casing.
Ä Reassembling
– Place the horizontal shaft and its gear back in position and move the assembly backwards by 40 mm.
– Refit the vertical shaft and tighten the screws of the bearing (2).
– Place and tighten the screws of the bearing (1), making sure that the slot of the spacing wedges are oriented
upwards, i.e. in the direction of the grease nipple and of the filling cap.
– Tighten the large conical gear fixation screw (1).
– Fit the gears (1 to 7) on the horizontal shaft and tighten the screw (2) at the end of the shaft.
– Check the meshing play, adjust it by means of the wedges if necessary.
– As concerns the detail of the parts included in that casing, see the SPARE PARTS CATALOGUE.

COILER DRIVE
The coilers speed adjustment compared to the draft and calandering cylinders ones is made through the false
cones R10 and R11, driven by a toothed belt. The assembly is located in the LH headstock.
A set of gears or 67 – 69 – 71 teeth for toothed belts completes the adjustment range.
(see gearing diagram pages 31 to 36).
When shifting the belt on the false cones, and after having tightened it back, make sure of its proper positioning
and tightening.
After any intervention, it is highly recommended to check the belt tension after a
very short time of work.

ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH
The clutch purpose is to drive the coilers during the machine work and to free them during the cans doffing
cycle in order to break the slivers.
It is of the fine teething type, closed when energized, 24 V DC working dry. The opening gap is adjusted in
our works and must be respected during an eventual dismantling.
Its work temperature can reach 70°C. The bearings life time is normally of 30000 hours of work. It is
recommended to change those bearings as a preventive maintenance measure before that time, in order to
prevent an eventual blocking of the device.
Ä Dismantling
– Disconnect the electrical supply.
The dust proof ball bearings are lubricated for life and are glued in the clutch.

PNEUMATIC BRAKE
The brake is composed of a disk, a brake nipper and a control device comprising the pneumatic distributor
and the pressure reducer.
The pressure of service should not be lower than 1.5 bars and the braking duration shoul not be shorter than
1.5 sec. for a delivery speed higher than 400 m/min.
The brake pads, clipsed, are interchangeable and must imperatively be changed by pair.
pressure reducer
MAIN MOTOR
The power to the machine is given by a synchroneous motor of 11 kW at 1500 rpm.
The main drive is achieved by 2 V belts SPB–VPZ.
The speed is adjustable in the screen “Speed machine” of the terminal. It acts on a frequency converter (see
frequency converter specific manual).
The motor is equipped of internal PCT sensors (positive coefficient of temperatue). In case of abnormal
overheating of the motor, the sensors work and the machine stops. The machine will then start only after the
time necessary for cooling, by pressing the start button.
The main motor overheating can be due to a clogging of the cooling grids.
Check their cleanliness before restarting the machine.
102 n. schlumberger
GV20A
SLIVER BREAKER
The slivers break is ensured by a rotation of the coilers when the machine is stopped and the coilers
clutchedout.
That coiler rotation is achieved by a ram acting on the coilers driving pulley through a gear fitted on free wheel.

AIR CONDITIONNING
DESCRIPTION
The conditioning assembly comprises:
– a manual isolation valve,
– a regulator filter,
MAINTENANCE
Our machines are fitted with 5µ filtering cartridges.
The air filter should be cleaned at least once per year. In case of a network containing water and oil, it is even
recommended to clean it every six months.
A clogged filter limits the air flow and implies pressure drops.
– Fit the assembly back in reverse sequence, taking care to properly fit the joint (C).

DISTRIBUTION
WORK MODE
The electrovalves are fitted with manual controls by impulses (M) (1/4 turn rotation) permitting to generate
outside the cycle all the motions of pneumatic origin, in order to test every circuit. A checking LED (N) permits
to check the electrovalve work.
REPAIRING
In case of non operation of an electrovalve (1) or (2), just the top part has to be replaced, by opening the
2screws (H). It is imperative to replace each distributor by an identical reference.
ADJUSTMENT
The adjustments to make in the pneumatic box are:
– Pressures adjustment:
By means of the pressure levellers.
To adjust the pressure, unlock the leveller control button by pulling it.
Do not forget to push it back after adjustment, in order to lock the pressure leveller.
REMARKS
– A completely closed flow limiter implies the cylinder blocking.
– To put the machine under pressure, all the doors and hoods must be closed, then press an “impulse” or
“start”or “cycle” button.
