<p>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).</p> |
