  • Publication number: 20240340930
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automated transmission of a network configuration for one or more textile machines in a network, wherein data are transmitted between a configuration unit and the one or more textile machines via a communication network with the network, the method comprising the following steps which are executed by the configuration unit: initiating detection of the one or more textile machines within the network via the communication network for transmitting the network configuration, identifying the one or more textile machines within the network on the basis of a respective identifier of the one or more textile machines obtained by the initiated detection, providing the network configuration for each detected and identified textile machine in the network, transmitting each provided network configuration to the one or more identified textile machines in the network on the basis of the respective identifier.

  • Publication number: 20240102208
    Abstract: Method for monitoring a textile machine having a plurality of workstations and a textile machine having a plurality of workstations, more particularly spinning positions, the textile machine having: a textile machine control unit, which is designed to capture different production figures of the individual workstations and to check whether the production figures exceed specified limit values; an input unit for inputting the limit values and selecting at least one production figure to be checked out of the set of production figures to be checked; and an indicating unit, which is connected to the textile machine control unit in order to optically output the result of the check of the at least one selected production figure to be checked for exceeding the allocated, specified limit value.

  • Patent number: 11866854
    Abstract: Method for monitoring a textile machine having a plurality of workstations and a textile machine having a plurality of workstations, the textile machine having: a textile machine control unit, designed to capture different production figures of the individual workstations and to check whether the production figures exceed specified limit values; an input unit for inputting the limit values and selecting at least one production figure to be checked out of the set of production figures to be checked; and an indicating unit. The indicating unit has a plurality of signal units, which are arranged on the textile machine control unit and/or the workstations in question, are associated with the individual workstations and are designed in such a way that the result of the check of the at least one selected production figure to be checked for exceeding the allocated, specified limit value is indicated by different light signals.

  • Patent number: 6637695
    Abstract: A method of winding the yarn traveling at a work station of a spinning bobbin winding machine or of a bobbin winding machine from a yarn source onto a take-up bobbin (4). After each yarn interruption, the yarn end is unwound from the take-up bobbin (4), a yarn joinder reconnects the yarn source and the take-up bobbin (4) and the winding process is then continued if a tolerable yarn joining location is present. Upon the occurrence of each yarn interruption, the amount of yarn wound since the last yarn joinder is determined. If such amount of yarn is determined to be less than a predetermined amount of yarn, a sufficient amount of yarn is unwound and separated from the take-up bobbin (4) to include the last-occurring yarn joining location in the separated yarn section. This results in an optical improvement in the quality of the finished textile product.

  • Patent number: 6272832
    Abstract: A service unit (16) for a cheese-producing textile machine (1), in particular an open-end spinning machine, has manipulation devices for repairing ordinary yarn breaks, an auxiliary yarn transport device (34) for piecing yarn following a cheese/empty tube exchange, and a control device (24) storing a first program with optimal operating parameters for piecing an ordinary yarn break and a second program setting differing operating parameters for producing a safety piecing following a cheese/empty tube exchange.
