Method for operating a cheese-producing textile machine

Abstract

A method for operating a cheese-producing textile machine which produces cheeses of the “random winding” type, wherein the contact pressure of the cheese on the yarn guiding cylinder is reduced and the cheese is simultaneously charged with a braking torque for preventing pattern windings. The angular velocity w of the cheese (4) is continuously determined and processed in a control device (18) such that, when or shortly prior to reaching a so-called pattern winding zone (BWZ), the angular velocity w1 determined by the diameter d1 of the cheese (4) is reduced by means of the definite adjustment of the contact pressure with which the cheese (4) rests on the yarn guiding cylinder (3), to an angular velocity w2 which lies below the angular velocity wk of a cheese of the critical diameter dk, driven without slippage, which causes pattern winding.
