Abstract
Method for producing a card sliver and carding machine therefor. The flexible bend of a card is set automatically by the machine control by means of a controllable actuator system on the basis of a wear characteristic, this characteristic representing the wear as a function of the production of a given material.
Claims20
A method for producing a card sliver using a carding machine including working elements wherein the condition of the working elements deteriorates as the machine operating time increases, the method comprising:
- periodically resetting the working elements to compensate, at least partially, for the deterioration in the condition of the working elements;
- effecting the resetting of the working elements via a controllable actuator system, the resetting initiated by a control;
- and
- providing the control with a control program for initiating the resetting on the basis of a wear characteristic, the wear characteristic depending upon actual machine production.

A carding machine comprising:
- working elements and a mechanism for resetting the working elements to compensate, at least partially, for a deterioration in a condition of the working elements;
- a controllable actuator system for effecting the resetting;
- a control for initiating the resetting including a memory unit for storing a wear characteristic for the working elements which is dependent on machine production;
- the control, via the machine production and an actuator system, acting on a setting mechanism for the working elements for at least one of for automatically adjusting the working elements and for improving the working elements at time intervals determined by the control.
