Abstract
Apparatus for monitoring yarns on spinning machines includes a sensor which is disposed such that it can travel along a track in front of the production stations. In order to permit each spinning station of a spinning machine to be monitored to an extent such that mavericks and other forms of unevenness in the yarn can be located, the sensor (2) is formed and disposed to detect the diameter of the yarn.
Claims16
Apparatus for monitoring yarns on a spinning machine having a plurality of production stations, said apparatus comprising a track (4) extending along said production stations, a traveling sensor moveable along said track for sensing a yarn being produced at each of said production stations and producing signals in response thereto, and means for obtaining a measure of the diameter of said yarns based on said signals.
A spinning machine comprising:
- a plurality of production stations for producing yarn on a spindle;
- a track extending along said plurality of production stations;
- a sensor movable along said track for detecting yarn being produced at each of said plurality of production stations;
- and
- a device for obtaining a measure of a diameter of the yarn being produced at each of said plurality of production stations based on a signal from said sensor at each of said plurality of production stations.
