Guide track arrangement and method of adjusting the same

An adjusting arrangement for adjusting a guidance of at least one mobile servicing means of a spinning machine which includes a plurality of individual spinning units arranged side-by-side, the adjusting arrangement comprising:

• a supporting profile means for supporting the at least one mobile servicing means,
• a guide profile means for guiding a movement of the at least one mobile servicing means,
• means for mounting said guide profile means at said supporting profile means such that said guide profile means is adjustable at least in a direction of an occurring load at the supporting profile means and the guide profile means,
• at least one measuring means mounted on said guide profile means, said measuring means including supporting means coordinated to a supporting means of a mobile servicing means with said measuring means having a total weight corresponding to a total weight of a mobile servicing means,
• a referencing index means provided at each individual spinning unit, and
• a measuring index means provided at said measuring means and adapted to be correlated with said referencing index means such that said supporting profile means and said guide profile means may be individually and independently adjusted at a respective spinning unit prior to mounting the mobile servicing means.

A method of adjusting a guidance of at least one mobile servicing unit of a spinning machine which includes a plurality of individual spinning units arranged side-by-side, the method comprising:

• mounting a mobile servicing unit supporting profile at the spinning machine so as to extend substantially parallel to the plurality of individual spinning units,
• mounting a mobile servicing unit guide profile means on said supporting profile means so as to be adjustable at least in a direction of an occurring load,
• mounting a measuring means on said guide profile means, which measuring means has a supporting structure correlated to the mobile servicing means and a total weight corresponding to a total weight of the mobile servicing means,
• providing a referencing index at each individual spinning unit,
• providing a measuring index at said measuring means, and
• adjusting said guide profile means with respect to said supporting profile means individually and independently at each individual spinning unit so that, at each unit, said referencing index means and said measuring index means are correlated, whereby upon a mounting of a mobile service unit corresponding to the measuring means, the mobile servicing unit is exactly adjusted with respect to each individual spinning unit.

A guide track arrangement for displaceably guidably mounting at least one servicing means at a spinning machine, the guide track arrangement comprising:

• a supporting profile means for supporting the at least one servicing means,
• a guide profile means formed of guide profile elements for guiding the at least one servicing means, and
• a means for adjustably mounting said guide profile means at said supporting profile means such that said guide profile means is adjustable at least in a direction of an occurring load at said guide profile means and said supporting profile means,
• wherein the spinning machine includes a plurality of individual spinning units arranged side-by-side,
• wherein each spinning unit is provided with a referencing index means, and wherein each guide profile element is independently adjusted with respect to the referencing index means of the spinning unit coordinated to a specific guide profile element mounted thereat.
