A yarn twisting machine comprising a main shaft into which yarn or yarns are introduced and from which yarn or yarns are taken out and the main shaft being driven by a first motor; a lower twisting disc being in contact with yarn and yarns taken out of the main shaft; an upper twisting disc having an aperture through which the yarn or yarns creating a yarn balloon by advancing along the lower twisting disc are fed; an upper platform situated below said upper twisting disc; a winding element for winding the yarns or yarns passing through the upper twisting disc on a bobbin; a lower stationary table situated above the lower twisting disc; and a second motor for transmitting drive to the winding element through an axial magnetic coupling. The yarn twisting machine comprises a first power transfer device for rotating the upper twisting disc around the shaft axis.

A method for starting a spindle of a cabling or two-for-one twisting machine, wherein a yarn reserve is formed on a take-up package, the machine has a workstation having a spindle pot for holding a first feed package and having a spindle rotor with a lateral outlet below the spindle pot, an outer yarn from one feed package is wound around an inner yarn from another feed package and the outer yarn is guided through the spindle shaft and its lateral outlet in a balloon orbiting the spindle pot to a yarn-guiding device above the spindle which merges the two yarn supplies, and a winding device in which the produced twist is wound onto the take-up package. A ratio of the take-up speed of the twist to the rotation speed of the spindle rotor is increased in comparison with the production data is used during creation of the yarn reserve.

A yarn twisting machine comprising a main shaft into which yarn or yarns are introduced and from which yarn or yarns are taken out and the main shaft being driven by a first motor; a lower twisting disc being in contact with yarn and yarns taken out of the main shaft and said lower twisting disc being in communication with said main shaft; an upper twisting disc having an aperture through which the yarn or yarns creating a yarn balloon by advancing along the lower twisting disc are fed; an upper platform situated below said upper twisting disc; a winding element for winding the yarns or yarns passing through the upper twisting disc on a bobbin; a lower stationary table situated above the lower twisting disc; and a second motor for transmitting drive to the winding element through an axial magnetic coupling. The yarn twisting machine comprises a first power transfer device for rotating the upper twisting disc around the shaft axis, the first power transfer device being in communication with the first motor or the second motor and with the upper twisting disc.

A workstation (1) of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine which comprises a rotatably mounted spindle (2) and a balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9) height-adjustable by means of a drive (18, 29) coupled to a control device (20) which controls the drive (18, 29) in such a manner that it displaces the balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9) between operating positions (AP.sub.1, AP.sub.2) dependent upon production parameters and a resting position (RS) advantageous in the case of production interruptions and transient operating phases associated with the latter. A device (21, 23, 24, 25) is present for detecting a measured value (i), which is made available to the control device (20) and which causes the control of the drive (18, 29) to change the position of the balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9).

The disclosure describes a yarn twisting machine in which a hollow spindle rod is fixedly connected with a motor that drives the hollow spindle rod to rotate, a twisting disc and a yarn storage disc are fixedly connected with the hollow spindle rod and rotate along with the hollow spindle rod, the yarn storage disc is provided with yarn outlets, which communicate with inner yarn channels of the hollow spindle rod spindle tanks for accommodating inner yarn packages are connected with the hollow spindle rod through spindle rod bearings, and the spindle tanks are immobile.

A method for operating a spindle (2) of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine which has an adjustable balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9), wherein for the operation of the spindle (2) under production conditions, the balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9) is adjusted, on the basis of a measured value (i) correlating with the energy consumption of the spindle drive (3), to a first operating position (AP.sub.1), in which a position-dependent minimum of the energy consumption of the spindle drive (3) is reached.
