6.3 Preparation for Assembly

6.3.1 Remove worn X-Comb segments

Item Designation1 Base body2 Installation device3 Locking element4 Installation tool

Ü Place base body (1) with the worn X-Comb segments in the installation device (2).

Ü Place installation tool (4) onto the locking element (3), press down and turn 90° in counter-clockwise direction.

ð This releases the locking element.

Ü Remove the locking element.

Ü Remove all the other locking elements in the same way.

Ü Lift the base body off the X-Comb segments.

Ü Dispose of worn X-Comb segments (see also chapter Disposal [} 33]).



6.3.2 Prepare Base Body Ü Clean all the outer surfaces of the base body.

ð The base body must be clean and free of any deposits. The raised surfaces on the top and the ribs on the bottom, in particular, must be clean and bare.

Ü Inspect the base body for damage.

ð If damaged, the base body must be replaced.

Ü Mark the entry side of the base body.

ð The entry side is distinguished by the following characteristics: - Shorter surface around the circumference - Holes for installing the counterweights

Item Designation1 Entry side2 Delivery side



6.4 Install X-Comb segments

6.4.1 Fit Segments to Base Body Ü Unpack the new X-Comb segments by removing the shrink film in the middle of the

individual packaging, pulling the rectangular packaging apart and removing the X-Comb segment.

NOTEThe X-Comb segments must be put into operation within 48 hours of opening of the packaging.

Ü Place the cleaned base body onto the assembly surface with the entry side facing forward.

Ü Fit X-Comb segments to the base body from the front to the rear and in the correct order; see chapter Comb Overviews [} 15] for the correct installation order.



Observe the following points:

– Pay attention to the correct alignment (front/rear) of the X-Comb segments. "Front" faces toward the entry side and "rear" to the delivery side.

Item Operating element1 Front2 Rear

– Press each new X-Comb segment against the preceding segment.



6.4.2 Secure X-Comb segments

Ü Place the installation device onto the assembled base body from above.

Ü Hold the unit on both sides from top and bottom and rotate.

Ü Align the X-Comb segments so that the sides are flush and the bore positions are aligned.

Ü Insert the locking elements into all the bores.

Ü Place the installation tool onto the locking element, press down firmly and turn 90° in clockwise direction.

ð You can hear and feel the locking element engage.

Ü Secure all the other locking elements in the same way.



6.4.3 Inspect the fully assembled X-Comb

CAUTIONRisk of injury from faulty assembly.

Incorrectly installed X-Comb segments may become disengaged during operation. This can result in a collision within the combing machine and lead to injuries.

• Ensure that all locking elements are inserted and securely tightened.

• The installed X-Comb segments must produce a uniform pattern.

NOTICERisk of material damage resulting from poor assembly.

Incorrectly installed X-Comb segments may become disengaged during operation. This can result in a collision within the combing machine and lead to material damage.

• Ensure that all locking elements are inserted and securely tightened.

• The installed X-Comb segments must produce a uniform pattern.

After assembly, the finished X-Comb must be inspected from all sides. In particular, make sure that

– No locking element is missing and all the locking elements are securely tightened.

– The X-Comb segments produce a uniform pattern.
