Bobbins spun in a ring spinning machine are conveyed sequentially to a measuring, counting and sorting device located between the ring spinning machine and an automatic winder that winds yarn from the bobbins. The measuring, counting and sorting device senses the presence of a bobbin, counts the bobbins being sensed, senses yarn and bobbin characteristics and compares the characteristics with predetermined standards. The device separates bobbins whose characteristics differ from the standard. Data regarding the operation of the spinning machine and operation of the winding machine are combined with the data obtained by the measuring, counting and sorting device and statistically evaluated for display or for controlling the production of the spinning machine and winding machine or for controlling conveyance of the packages from the winding machine.
A method of monitoring the quality of yarns and wound packages produced and the quality of operation at production stations in a textile machine in which at least one ring spinning machine is combined with at least one automatic winder, said method comprising conveying said bobbins from said ring spinning machine to said winder in sequence in relation to the respective spinning stations of said ring spinning machine, measuring, counting and sorting said bobbins between said spinning machine and said winder, said measuring includes sensing the presence of a bobbin, said counting includes counting the bobbins sensed by said measuring and determining the spinning station at which each bobbin was spun, said measuring further includes sensing yarn and bobbin characteristics and comparing said sensed characteristics with predetermined standards for said characteristics, said sorting includes separating from the bobbins being conveyed to the winder those bobbins whose sensed characteristics differ from said predetermined standards, and evaluating the sensed characteristics in relation to the spinning stations to determine the quality of operation at the related spinning stations.
A device for monitoring the quality of yarns and wound packages produced and the quality of operation at production stations in a textile machine in which at least one ring spinning machine is combined with at least one automatic winder, said device comprising means for conveying said bobbins from said ring spinning machine to said winder in sequence in relation to the respective spinning stations of said ring spinning machine, means for measuring, means for counting and means for sorting said bobbins between said spinning machine and said winder, said measuring means sensing the presence of a bobbin, said counting means counting the bobbins sensed by said measuring and determining the spinning station at which each bobbin was spun, said measuring means sensing yarn and bobbin characteristics and comparing said sensed characteristics with predetermined standards for said characteristics, said sorting means separating from the bobbins being conveyed to the winder those bobbins whose sensed characteristics differ from said predetermined standards, and means for evaluating the sensed characteristics in relation to the spinning stations to determine the quality of operation at the related spinning stations.
