Roving Frame Flyer FAQ

What is a roving-frame flyer used for?

A flyer twists the drafted fibre strand and guides roving onto the bobbin in a speed frame or simplex. It is separate from a ring-spinning spindle.

Which flyer size references are listed?

16 × 6 in and 16 × 7 in configurations are listed. These are nominal size references; use the selected assembly drawing for mounting dimensions.

What is the difference between versions with and without a bottom spindle?

The with-bottom-spindle configuration is listed for manual doffing. The without-bottom-spindle version may be selected for manual or automatic doffing according to the frame arrangement.

Are pressure fingers and other accessories available separately?

Send the required presser finger, screw pin, bush, false twister or bearing-housing reference separately with your enquiry.

Can I enquire for domestic or export supply?

Send your city or country, quantity and required variant. Vindex will confirm availability, packing, freight options and lead time in the quotation.

Which machine details should I provide?

Specifying a roving frame flyer

Describe a complete roving frame flyer separately from its pressure finger or presser. For the 16 x 6 and 16 x 7 variants, identify the required arrangement with or without a bottom spindle and compare it with the existing flyer. Nominal size alone does not describe every mounting detail.

Send the machine model, flyer reference, bobbin arrangement, fitted-position photographs and quantity. Include a drawing when the existing flyer is modified or the marking is unreadable. List pressure fingers as separate items when they are also required, so that the complete flyer and its replaceable parts are not confused.
