TEXTILE MACHINE HAVING A DRAFTING UNIT AND TWO FIBRE MATERIAL FEEDS

摘要

A textile machine (1) in particular a spinning knitting machine has a fibre material feed (3) from which a fibre material (2) can be fed to a drafting unit (5) a drafting unit (5) which drafts the fibre material (2) into a finer fibre material (2) a processing unit in particular a knitting device (4) which is arranged downstream of the drafting unit (5) and processes the fibre material immediately after drafting and also a sensor (8) which detects defects in the fibre material (2). The drafting unit (5) is assigned a second fibre material feed (3 ) and also a changeover device (9) and when a defect is detected in the first fibre material (2) fibre material (2 ) from the second fibre material feed (3 ) can be fed to the drafting unit (5) by the changeover device (9). In a method for feeding fibre material (2) to a drafting unit (5) in a textile process in particular a spinning knitting process a fibre material (2) is fed from a fibre material feed (3) to the drafting unit (5) drafted in the drafting unit (5) and immediately after drafting processed in particular knitted in a processing unit arranged downstream of the drafting unit (5). The fibre material (2) fed to the drafting unit (5) is monitored for defects by a sensor (8). The drafting unit (5) is assigned a second fibre material feed (3 ) and a changeover device (9) and if a defect is detected in the first fibre material (2) fibre material (2 ) from the second fibre material feed (3 ) is fed to the drafting unit (5) by the changeover device (9).
