  • the kink preventor 17 allows the set value of the rotation angle of the stepping motor 41 to be varied via the operation portion 90. Consequently, the pressing force (or the tension applied to the unwound yarn) exerted on the yarn supplying bobbin 21 by the brush portion 31 can be easily adjusted.
  • the automatic winder winds a yarn type with a smaller diameter
  • possible yarn breakage can be prevented by adjustably reducing the rotation angle of the stepping motor 41.

  • the pressing force of the pivotally moving arm 45 can be recovered to allow the appropriate tension to be applied to the yarn 20, by controlling the rotation angle of the stepping motor 41 so that the angle A is correspondingly increased. Consequently, replacement of the torsion spring 42 and complicated adjustment operations can be omitted.
  • the pivotal movement angle of the pivotally moving portion 43 can be precisely adjusted by changing the number of pulses transmitted to the stepping motor 41. Consequently, the tension of the yarn 20 unwound from the yarn supplying bobbin 21 can be easily fine-tuned.
  • the pressing force of the contact portion 80 can be electrically varied without the need for a change in mechanical arrangement such as replacement of the torsion spring 42.

  • the brush portion 31, provided in the contact portion 80 in the above-described embodiment, may be omitted.
  • the configuration can be changed such that for example, the pivotally moving arm 45 directly presses the yarn supplying bobbin 21.
  • the above-described embodiment is configured such that the rotation angle of the stepping motor 41 (the pivotal movement angle of the pivotally moving portion 43) is set by inputting a numerical value directly via the operation portion 90.
  • the configuration can be changed such that rotation angles corresponding to yarn types are stored in the unit control portion 50 or the like so that one of the yarn types displayed on the operation portion 90 is selected to allow a number of driving pulses corresponding to the stored angle are transmitted to the stepping motor 41.
  • the winder unit 10 uses the magazine type supply device 60 to supply the yarn supplying bobbin 21.
  • the present invention is not limited to this configuration.
  • the configuration can be changed such that for example, the yarn supplying bobbin 21 is supplied to the winder unit 10 by conveying a tray with the yarn supplying bobbin 21 set thereon along an appropriate path.
