Grinding of Cots

Instructions for correct grinding

Improved yarn quality is a substantial competitive advantage for today’s spinning mills. Accotex cots are standard front cots accepted by the machine manufacturers, on both the regular and the compact spinning frames. Improving yarn values (evenness, thin places, and thick places) require a high-quality soft cot; the performance of this cot however depends largely on the proper preparation of the cot surface.

Dressing

The stone should be dressed with a diamond aft er every 1500 top rollers

Cleaning

The stone must be cleaned every 15 minutes, using either compressed air or a soft  metal brush

Diameter

After mounting the new cots have to be buffed all to the same outer diameter.

Cot surface after grinding

The cot surface after grinding is clean and free of grinding dust and grinder cuts.

Correct surface roughness

The cot has the correct surface roughness (Ra-value) after grinding

Time for grinding

Grind as fast as possible and as long as necessary.

Wait until use

The freshly buffed cots should relax for approx. 24h before they will be used.
