Abstract: A method and a handling unit (13) are utilized for transferring a sliver (8) from a sliver can (9) into a workstation (3) of a sliver (8) processing textile machine, in particular an open-end spinning machine (1). A plurality of identical workstations (3) are arranged next to one another and a handling unit (13) is displaceable along the plurality of workstations (3). In order to transfer the sliver (8), the handling unit (13) stops at the workstation (3), the sliver (8) is captured by the handling unit (13) at the sliver can (9), and the sliver (8) is transferred to a receiving unit of the workstation (3). After the sliver (8) has been transferred, the handling unit (13) releases the sliver (8) and leaves the workstation (3). After the sliver (8) has been released, a check is carried out to determine whether the sliver (8) has been completely removed from the handling unit (13). (FIG.

Abstract: A spinning-mill machine and associated operational method includes a plurality of cross-winding devices arranged next to each other in a longitudinal direction along each machine side of the spinning-mill machine, wherein each cross-winding device is configured to wind yarn onto a sleeve. The cross-winding devices are arranged into a multiple number of sections along each of the machine sides. A sleeve transport device is arranged along the cross-winding devices on each machine side to supply empty sleeves to cross-winding devices. A plurality of sleeve stacks are configured to stockpile the empty sleeves. A plurality of sleeve storage devices are arranged along each machine side for distributed intermediate storage of the empty sleeves, wherein each cross-winding device is allocated with a single sleeve storage device, or the plurality of the cross-winding devices in each of the sections are allocated to a single one of the sleeve storage devices.

Abstract: A spinning-mill machine includes a plurality of cross-winding devices arranged next to each other and in sections in a longitudinal direction along opposite machine sides of the spinning-mill machine, each cross-winding device configured to wind yarn onto a sleeve. A plurality of sleeve stacks are arranged with each machine side and are configured to stockpile empty sleeves. A plurality of sleeve transport devices are configured alongside the cross-winding devices of the machine side, wherein each of the sleeve stacks has one of the sleeve transport devices operationally associated therewith to deliver the sleeves from the sleeve stack to the cross-winding devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supplying cross-winding devices (4) of a spinning-mill machine (1) with sleeves (9) and a corresponding spinning-mill machine (1), whereas a multiple number of cross-winding devices (4) is arranged next to each other and on two machine sides located in the longitudinal direction of the spinning-mill machine (1). Yarn is wound on sleeves (9) at the cross-winding devices (4), whereas empty sleeves (9) are stockpiled in at least one sleeve stack (7.1 to 7.4). With a sleeve transport device (6, 6.1 bis 6.4) arranged along the cross-winding devices (4), the cross-winding devices (4) are supplied with empty sleeves (9) from the sleeve stack (7.1 to 7.4), whereas the sleeve transport device (6, 6.1 to 6.4) features a continuous entraining element, in particular a conveyor belt, which is moved along the multiple number of cross-winding devices (4).

Abstract: The spinning-mill machine features a multiple number of cross-winding devices (4) arranged next to each other and on two machine sides located in the longitudinal direction of the spinning-mill machine (1), each of which is provided for winding yarn on sleeves, whereas the cross-winding devices (4) are collected into a multiple number of sections (5.1 to 5.5). Multiple sleeve stacks (7.1 to 7.4) are used for the stockpiling of empty sleeves. A sleeve transport device (6.1 to 6.4) arranged along the cross-winding devices (4) is used to supply the cross-winding devices (4) with empty sleeves from the sleeve stack (7.1 to 7.4), Multiple sleeve stacks (7.1 to 7.4) are arranged on each machine side, and each sleeve stack (7.1 to 7.4) is allocated with its own stationary sleeve transport device (6.1 to 6.4).

Abstract: Proposed is a procedure for the control of a service module for the maintenance of spinning stations and also a service module for the carrying out of this said maintenance. The procedure is carried out on a spinning machine, which can run at least one activity (A) at individual spinning stations, whereby this activity (A) consists, respectively, of at least one task (I-IV). In a case of a disturbance (4) in the course of the working of a task (I-IV), then the service module is immediately disconnected from automatic operation and is set in stillstand and subsequently, by the said service module itself, at least one procedure (a, b, c, d) for the correction of the said disturbance is carried out in order to complete the activity (A) which is to be carried out, or the service module is reset, into a fully operable state.
