Occupations | Tends machine that crimps thermoplastic yarn to increase bulk, add elasticity, and provide yarn with a soft hand: Places supply packages on spindles and threads yarn ends through guides, feed rolls, and into $T3crimping attachments.$T1 Pulls yarn ends from stuffer boxes of crimping attachments, using wire hook, threads ends through guides, and attaches ends to takeup packages. Observes flow of yarn through machine to detect breaks in yarn and signal lights to detect variations in temperature of crimping attachments. Ties broken yarn ends by hand or with knotter and reports malfunction of machine to MACHINE FIXER (textile). Stops winding unit and doffs full package. May wrap yarn packages in paper and pack packages in shipping containers. Important variables may be indicated by trade name of yarn produced. (references) |
| Tends machine that crimps synthetic fibers to increase bulk and resiliency and to facilitate blending with natural fibers: Turns valves to regulate heat and to control pressure of feed rollers and V-shaped stuffing box according to specifications. Starts machine and feeds sliver between rollers that force fibers through stuffing box where they are compressed and discharges crimped fibers into receiving cans. Observes machine and emerging sliver to detect substandard crimping and adjusts steam heat and pressure of feed rollers and stuffing box accordingly. Doffs and replaces full receiving cans.

| Sets up and operates machine to crimp wire to specified shape: Bolts specified crimping wheels into machine jaws, using wrench. Threads end of coiled wire through straightening and feed rollers into wire shaping machine. Starts machine and crimps sample wire of specified type. Measures sample, using micrometers and gauges, and changes crimping wheels or adjusts tension of machine until crimp meets specifications. May place shaped wire in rack. May be designated according to product worked on as Zig-Zag-Spring-Machine Operator (metal prod., nec). (references) | |
| Feeds machine that rounds edges of thread packages so that dye will penetrate thread uniformly. (references) | |
