Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1233088A2] To produce a fiber loosening roller for an open-end spinner, to break the sliver down into separate fibers for spinning, a sawtooth wire is shaped to fit the required clothing carrier, as the clothing to fit into a groove. The shaped wire is hardened. To produce the fiber loosening roller, for an open-end spinner, the sawtooth wire for the clothing is shaped on a body with a circumference which matches the carrier at the roller. The shaped sawtooth wire remains on the body, or is fitted to the carrier while it is hardened. The ends of the sawtooth wire are ground. The wire is hardened by induction using a high frequency current. The surface of the wire clothing is hardened by induction at the teeth by eddy currents with a frequency of ≥ 1000 kHz and especially 1500-2000 kHz. The wire is hardened within a controlled atmosphere. The wire is relaxed by a heat treatment after hardening, and blasted together with glass beads. The wire clothing is demagnetized, and any flash is removed chemically. The wire clothing is cladded with a nickel coating. The teeth are ground against their working direction while the wire is in place on the carrier, for the carrier and the grinding disk to be rotated in opposite directions. Before processing, the wire is not hardened, and the carrier is of a material which cannot be hardened e.g. a low-carbon steel. The start and/or end of the sawtooth wire is welded. The wire can be coated with titanium nitride, using a plasma cladding process. An Independent claim is included for a fiber loosening roller with a clothing of a sawtooth wire (20), as a steel wire at least partially hardened after shaping. Preferred Features: The sawtooth wire is a hardened wire, after laying on the carrier (10). The clothing wire has a side groove at the foot of the teeth.
