Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of determination of specific points of a rotary fibre forming spinner wheel (10) used in a fibre forming device (1), said method comprising the following steps: obtaining measurements of temperatures of the fibre forming spinner wheel obtained by means of a temperature measuring device (40) adapted to take measurements of temperatures of the spinner wheel at a plurality of angular positions of said measuring device in order to supply data to at least one calculation unit (30, 45) that constructs a curve representing the temperature as a function of the angular position of a temperature measuring device; processing said measurements by effecting a calculation of the second derivative of the curve of the temperature as a function of the angular position by means of a calculation unit (30); searching for at least one specific point for which the second derivative satisfies a predefined condition.
