Abstract
A textile winding machine having a plurality of work stations each of which has a number of pneumatically actuable operating components. The operating components are connected to separate compressed air lines each having at least two compressed air supply locations each associated with a respective pressure controller. The compressed air lines are dividable in turn into machine segments operating at different pressure levels by means of selectively actuable valve elements disposed in the compressed air line between the pressure controllers.
Claims9
A textile winding machine for producing cross-wound bobbins comprising a plurality of winding stations each having a plurality of pneumatically actuable operating components operable at different working pressures, and a compressed air distribution network comprising compressed air lines extending along the textile machine each carrying pressurized air at a respective defined working pressure and branch lines associated with each winding station for connecting the operating components thereof to the compressed air lines, wherein the network comprises at least two compressed air supply locations to each compressed air line, a pressure controller associated with each supply location, and a plurality of valve elements at selected locations in each compressed air line between the supply locations for dividing the compressed air line into segments defined by the valve elements, the valve elements being selectively actuable for controlling communication of each segment with one compressed air supply location and the pressure controller associated therewith, whereby compressed air may be supplied to the segments at different pressure levels from one another according to the pressure controllers.
