Function Description

Traverse Function

The 1336 PLUS II output frequency can be programmed to modulate around a set frequency.

This can be achieved by setting three parameters to create an inertia compensated delta waveform

– Traverse Period, Maximum Traverse, and P Jump. In surface drive winding applications,

the developed waveforms can be used in a traverse drive to electronically perform the traverse function.

The traverse actuator will move the yarn back and forth in a diamond pattern so that

the yarn is evenly distributed over the surface of the tube.

This pattern must be changed in order to prevent yarn build-up at the same points on the surface.

This can be achieved by constantly continuously changing the traverse speed in a cyclic

manner over a specified speed range. Using inertia compensation, a series of distributed diamond 

patterns can be formed over the entire surface of the tube.
