Patent number: 9845220Abstract: A method improves a winding process of a textile machine and a winding station of a textile machine having a machine controller (11), a yarn sensor (4), a yarn quality monitor, in particular a yarn clearer (5), and a yarn connecting device, in particular a splicing device (3). A yarn (1) is wound onto a bobbin (2). The yarn (1) is analyzed with regard to its length, quality, and/or speed, and is cut if necessary in order to clear a quality defect and two yarn ends are connected to one another by means of the yarn connecting device after the quality defect has been removed. The yarn (1) is analyzed with regard to foreign material, yarn speed, and/or yarn length by means of a capacitive yarn sensor (4), and is analyzed with regard to the yarn body and the yarn characteristic by means of an optical yarn quality monitor. The yarn (1) is subsequently optionally cleared.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Rieter AGInventors: Mathias Burchert, Volker Jehle

Patent number: 9804143Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the quality of a yarn on a textile machine, wherein the yarn passes a monitoring unit of the textile machine, with the aid of which at least one measured variable (M) which is dependent on a physical parameter of the yarn is determined, and wherein the measured variable (M), or a variable derived therefrom, is evaluated with respect to the position thereof with regard to at least one reference value (R). According to the invention, it is proposed that the selection of the reference value(s) (R) takes place taking into account one or more characteristic variables of the yarn, said characteristic variables being yarn-specific and defined prior to evaluating the measured variable (M). Furthermore, a textile machine is proposed which comprises at least one monitoring unit for monitoring at least one physical parameter of the yarn, and at least one controller which is operatively connected to the monitoring unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Rieter AGInventors: Mathias Burchert, Volker Jehle

Publication number: 20170306532Abstract: The invention relates to a clothing for processing textile fibers, with a clothing carrier (1) and clothing tips (2), with the clothing tips (2) being formed by wire hooks (4). The wire hooks (4) are pushed through the clothing carrier (1) in a punching process. The clothing carrier (1) is a random, paneled nonwoven formed from continuous fibers or staple fibers (10) that has been consolidated by needling and impregnated with a polymer (11) having a defined specific weight per unit area and a functional layer (12) applied to a side of the clothing carrier (1) facing toward the clothing tips (2). The polymer (1) has a proportion by weight of 20 to 70 percent of the specific weight per unit area of the random nonwoven.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2015Publication date: October 26, 2017Applicant: Graf + Cie AGInventors: Peter Artzt, Günter Steinbach, Volker Jehle
