Question

In \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\), the package is driven in frictional contact with the drum.

• A. Drum driven winding
• B. Spindle driven winding
• C. Pirn winding
• D. Weft winding

Hint:

In winding technology, the key distinction is how the package is rotated. If rotation is due to surface contact with a roller/drum, it's "drum driven" or "surface driven." If the package holder itself is rotated, it's "spindle driven."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze the question. The question describes a winding mechanism where the package (the yarn being wound) is turned because it's in frictional contact with a rotating drum.

Step 2: Evaluate the options.
- Drum driven winding: In this method, a rotating drum is in contact with the surface of the yarn package. The friction between the drum and the package causes the package to rotate and wind the yarn. This matches the description perfectly.
- Spindle driven winding: Here, the package is mounted on a spindle, and the spindle is directly driven by a motor. The rotation of the package is not caused by friction with a drum.
- Pirn winding and Weft winding are specific types of winding processes, but the driving mechanism itself is the key distinction. Pirn winding often uses spindle driving for shuttle looms.
