Abstract
A grinding device for the flats of a card comprises elastically bendable elements which enter between the clothing points, brush over the side flanks of the points and thereby grind the points. Additional grinding elements are provided in order to treat the front sides of the clothing points. The ground-off material may be removed by a suction device.
Claims21
A control system for use in a clothing element maintenance process wherein a maintenance procedure is performed on individual flats of clothing elements in a revolving set of said flats, said system comprising:
- a marking device operably disposed in a path of said set of flats to mark at least one of said flats with a detectable mark applied thereto that distinguishes said flat from other flats of said set;
- and
- wherein said mark is detectable to provide a positional point of reference for the other said flats for use in performance of said maintenance process.
A control system for use in a clothing element maintenance process wherein a maintenance procedure is performed on individual flats of clothing elements in a revolving set of said flats, said system comprising a control unit configured to define a maintenance cycle based on determining at least one of the position or the movement of all of said flats as a function of a detectable mark applied to one of said flats that distinguishes said flat from other flats, wherein said maintenance process is performed at least once on each said flat within said set per each said maintenance cycle.
A control system for use in a clothing element maintenance process wherein a maintenance procedure is performed on individual flats of clothing elements in a revolving set of said flats, said system comprising a control unit configured to define a maintenance cycle wherein said maintenance process is performed at least once on each said flat within said set per each said maintenance cycle, and wherein at least one of said flats comprises a detectable mark applied thereto that distinguishes said flat from the other flats within said set, said control unit configured to detect said mark and determine a respective said flat's position within said maintenance cycle relative to said marked flat.
A method for controlling a maintenance procedure performed on individual flats of clothing elements in a revolving set of the flats, said method comprising:
- marking at least one of the flats within the set with a detectable mark that distinguishes the marked flat from the other flats within the set;
- and
- detecting the marked flat as the set revolves and establishing the marked flat as a reference point within a maintenance cycle wherein the maintenance procedure is performed at least once on each flat during the maintenance cycle;
- and;
- controlling whether the maintenance procedure is to be performed on any individual flat by its position relative to the reference point within the maintenance cycle.
A method for controlling a maintenance procedure performed on individual flats of clothing elements in a revolving set of said flats, said method comprising defining a maintenance cycle wherein the maintenance procedure is performed at least once on each flat within the set;
- determining individual positions of the respective flats within the maintenance cycle;
- and performing the maintenance procedure on the flats as a function of the determined position of the flats.
