Abstract
During the service of a workstation of a textile machine, a thread, presented to a spool apparatus, is captured by a capture mechanism coordinated with the spool apparatus and conducted to a thread cutting device to be cut through. The thread cutting device is coordinated with a cleaning apparatus, with the help of which the thread cutting device at specified intervals, and/or in dependency of the carrying out of assigned work phases is subjected to cleaning.
Claims25
A method for service at a workstation of a textile machine comprising the steps of:
- presenting a thread to a spool apparatus;
- capturing the thread by the spool apparatus;
- conducting the thread to a thread cutting device operably disposed to an end of the spool apparatus, wherein the thread is cut by the thread cutting device;
- and
- cleaning the thread cutting device to remove unwanted material from the thread cutting device using a cleaning apparatus, wherein said cleaning step occurs independent of the actual thread cutting operations.
An apparatus for the servicing of a workplace on a textile machine comprising:
- a spool apparatus into which a spool can be inserted and driven by a drive roll;
- a driveable capture mechanism configured with the spool apparatus, rotation of the driveable capture mechanism eventually results in presenting thread to be cut;
- a thread cutting device operably configured with the spool apparatus at an end thereto;
- and
- a cleaning apparatus disposed to the thread cutting device, said cleaning apparatus configured for cleaning the thread cutting device independent of the cutting operations of the thread cutting device.
