Abstract: The invention relates to an autolevelling draw-frame of the textile industry in which the drafting of the fiber sliver can be modified in a controlled and/or autolevelled manner. It is the object of the invention to analyze electrical signals or measured values of a draw-frame so that correction may be made on basis of these analyses. This object is attained in that additional, time-related signal analyses are conducted independently of autolevelling. They make it possible to recognize corrigible deviations within the analyzed signals as well as the establishment of appropriate correction values. If deviations exceed a tolerance, a determination is made in combination with the knowledge memory of a computer whether the deviation is due to a disturbance in the machine or whether the deviation can be explained as a logical consequence.
