What is spinning???.....
The process fiber to yarn is called

as spinning.

Ring Frame

Introduction
The ring frame process is the most widely used form of
spinning machine due to significant advantages in
comparison with the new spinning processes.
OR
The roving/simplex, commonly called the ring, is the
conventional spinning system and it transforms the roving
from the roving frame into spun yarn

Ring Frame
Spinning process is done by the machine called Ring frame.

Ring frame converts the roving into a yarn. The Ring frame
stretches the material using a drafting system and then twist is
imparted to the material.

Objecticves
Following are the core objectives of ring spinning:
To draft the roving fed to the ring spinning frame i.e. to convert

roving into very fine strand called yarn.

To impart strength to the yarn by inserting the necessary amount

of twist.
To collect twisted strand called yarn onto handy and

transportable package by winding the twisted thread on a

cylindrical bobbin or tube.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

DRAFTING

TWISTING

WINDING

Some of the Operation involved in ring frame

CREEL IN (roving package placed on it)
DRAFTING (roller drafting to reduce the linear
density)
TWISTING (traveler insert twist)
WINDING (yarn wind on bobbin)

Ring Traveler
Traveler is a tiny element which is used in ring spinning
system, acts as the main of twist imparter during yarn
production.
It is also called the twisting element It is a C-shaped, metal
clip that revolves around the ring on a ring spinning frame.
It guides the yarn onto the bobbin as twist is inserted into
the yarn.

Ring Frame

Working Principle
Ring frame converts the roving into a yarn. The roving bobbin taken from the
previous process Fly frame is mounted on Ring frame at creel portion either
automatically or manually. The roving is inserted in drafting system through guiding
rod. The roving material is stretches using a drafting system and stretching is
depend on desired count of yarn. Then the twist is imparted to the material coming
out from the drafting system of Ring frame with the help of traveler. The traveler is
placed on surface of ring and material is passed in between traveler and ring. Once
twist is imparted, the material is converted into a yarn. The yarn is then
subsequently wound on a package called ring Bobbin. The bobbin is placed on to
the spindle of ring machine which is continuously revolve when machine is on/start.
For proper winding of yarn on to the bobbin is achieved with the help of ring rail.
The ring rail moves up and down simultaneously for proper winding.

A Ring frame contains two sides. For example, if a Ring

frame contains 1008 yarn delivery positions, then
there will be 504 deliveries on both sides. The
delivery cop will revolve continuously with the help of
an element called Spindle which usually revolve at a
speed of about 20,000 rpm. Recent days, the
maximum possible speed limit is 25,000 rpm. Delivery
yarns are classified as "Counts" based on the linear
density (thickness) of the yarn.
