Abstract
A spinning machine and method are provided for feeding a sliver end of a sliver deposited in a can to a spinning position of the spinning machine, wherein the spinning machine includes a plurality of adjacently arranged spinning positions and a plurality of cans arranged in at least a first row under the spinning positions. With a sliver gripper of a robot, the method includes seeking the sliver end from one of the cans in an area that includes at least one adjacent spinning position to a spinning position to be supplied. The sliver end is grasped with the sliver gripper and fed to the spinning position to be supplied.

A method for feeding a sliver end of a sliver deposited in a can to a spinning position of a spinning machine, wherein the spinning machine comprises a plurality of adjacently arranged spinning positions and a plurality of cans arranged in at least a first row under the spinning positions, the method comprising:
- positioning a robot at an adjacent spinning position to the spinning position to be supplied such that a sliver gripper of the robot is at the adjacent spinning position;
- with the sliver gripper of the robot at the adjacent spinning position, seeking the sliver end from one of the cans;
- grasping the sliver end with the sliver gripper;
- and
- feeding the sliver end to the spinning position to be supplied.
