Instalación
NOTE
Condensation can form on the weft feeder when it is moved from the cold environment of the warehouse
to the warmer environment of the loom room. Make sure that the feeder is dry before switching it on.
CAution!
The unit should not be mounted directly on the
weaving machine.
Use a separate floor stand.
Note
Feeders’ stand and creel must be connected to the
earth of the loom.
Note
Place the creel behind the feeder’s stand avoiding
sharp angles to the yarn path from the creel output
to the feeders.
Feeders with Mechanical sensors must be mounted

within 45° of the horizontal plane. 45° 45°
*Max 15° with low sensor spring force.(see page 19)

Speed settings - feeders with mechanical sensors
To set the maximum speed rotate the disc to the appropriate position.
Note
Normally the switch should be left at posistion 1 since the feeder automatically calculates the speed according to yarn
consumption. However, with very low speeds or wide looms, it could be helpful to reduce the maximum speed in order
to avoid unnecessary acceleration

Grip the winding disc and, whilst pressing the orange

button on the front of the spool body, rotate the disc
until the button is felt to locate. Aligning the mark on the
winding disc with the line on the motor house gives the
zero separation position.
To adjust, press in the button and revolve the winding disc in

the appropriate direction. The separation increases from 0 to
4 mm the more the disc is rotated.
The separation must be distinct, but not excessive.

Sensor adjustment
HD X2
The mechanical sensors are placed on the fixed part of

the spool body.
The sensor (1) controls MAX reserve level, and the sen-
sor (2) controls MIN reserve level. 1
The force needed to press down the sensors is control-

led by a spring, and it is adjustable with screw (3). Turn
the screw (3) anti-clockwise to increase the sensor 3
strength, turn it clockwise to reduce it.
Automatic calibration of the sensors
Note
Before starting the automatic sensors calibration,
check the following:
• Remove all yarn from the feeder
• The spool body must be in correct position.
• The sensors must be free to correctly move up and
down.
• The sensors ring must be correctly fixed.
1. Switch OFF the feeder.

2. Disable the TFE7 by moving the switch (4) up-
wards. The LED of TFE7 must be steady-ON in
red color.(5)
3. Switch ON the feeder and let it turn without weft for
at least 50 revolutions, until the winding disk stops.
(feeder red light steady ON).
4. Switch OFF the feeder, and enable the TFE7 by 5
moving the switch down 4
5. Thread the yarn through the feeder (see page 15)
6. Switch ON the feeder and load a new weft reserve.
LED (5)
When disabled, the LED (5) is steady RED ON.
When enabled, the LED (4) is GREEN only when the
yarn is creating signal, other way it is OFF.

Assembly instructions
After disassembling, it is necessary to install the spool-body

part by part to avoid damaging the parts. Secure the bellow
properly with plastic straps (1).
1
1
Be sure that the carrier pin fits into the keygroove in the
motor shaft (2).
Insert the two screws for the rubber belly (3) and be sure they
are properly tightened with the correct key. (Torx T10)
Turn the winding disc (4) when holding the centre nut (5) to
get the balance weight in position. When correct, the disc can
5
easily be moved 180° only.
4 4
Install the centre screw, outer rubber belly, spoolbody and

cover. Set the yarn separation in a suitable position to be sure
it is correctly assembled.

Tensioners: Brush/Flex brake
Alternative for HD X2
This brake is particularly suitable for rapier looms which 1

require a constant braking tension during the weft inser-
tion. It is also suggested with jute and monofilament. It
is not recommended when flat yarns are woven.
Note
Each brake is suitable for both yarn twist (S or Z).
Brush/Flex brake mounting

Rotating the slide shift lever (1) will detach the Brush /
Flex holder from the spool body. (2)

Tensioners: Funnel
Suitable for heavy yarns which create large balloons. Sug-

gested for polypropylene flat tape on projectile looms.
Note
There is no braking function on the yarn when the funnel
is installed since it is used only to control the balloon
effect during the yarn taking-off.
Funnel fitting
1. Slightly screw the three nuts (1) with the screws.
2. Slide the fixing screws into the guides of the Sensor-
holder ring.
3. Push the funnel completely against the Sensor-holder
ring. (2)

It is recommended to use IRO tool kit, with specialised
tools, to ensure easy and correct disassembly/ assem-
bly of IRO feeders during maintenance work.
